Amy Johnson

Fluid Flow Workshop

The Practice of Water in Motion.

This Fluid Flow workshop is inspired by Shiva Rea's Prana Flow. This workshop will move you out of, what can sometimes be, a static practice and into a constant flow that taps into your internal flow of prana. This graceful practice will not only awaken you to your internal fluid flow of the body, but will also help you let go of "frontal plane living" and allow you to explore the space around you. Learn to embody the beauty and grace of this practice, as well as all types of yoga, by learning to focus on deeper muscular control. All levels welcome.

Cost: $35

About Michael

I started exploring Yoga in 1998. I was looking for a way to alleviate chronic pain and discomfort that had been plaguing me for several years. I continued to take yoga classes off and on throughout the years, developing an Ashtanga practice, as well as studying at the Jivamukti studio in New York where I was living at the time.

At that point, I was very much aware of the powerful benefits of yoga, but had not yet made the commitment to make the yoga practice a part of my everyday life. It was not until I moved to Dallas in the summer of 2005, that I took the next step in my yoga practice. Upon arriving in Dallas, I committed myself to a Bikram practice for 7 months. After seven months, I was ready for something else. It was at this time that I found the power yoga/vinyasa flow. I was hooked. In 2006 I became a certified yoga instructor and I have been teaching ever since.

As an instructor, I try to present a class that is accessible and encouraging. I want to share the physical, mental, and emotional benefits with any one that will listen. I believe the yoga practice is a four thousand year old maintenance manual for the body and mind and every one has right to enjoy the benefits of the yoga practice. Yoga has changed my life in amazing ways and I am extremely thankful to be able to offer that possibility to others.

Cost: Free!
