An Online Yoga & Mindfulness Workshop with Eyal Shifroni & Shantam Zohar

Every action performed  in our yoga practice should be done with full awareness and total presence – this is mindfulness in action.

Mindfulness can be practiced by looking inside, observing the body’s sensations and  breath; and it can also be practiced during our interaction with other people – which is the subject of this short workshop. 

Mindful communication  is challenging, yet it is the key to successful and wholesome interbeing. This interactive workshop will weave the  practice of yoga with the practice of relational mindfulness. 

We will start with yoga practice (with Eyal) to open the body and focus our mind, then practice mindfulness (with Shantam) while sitting quietly and in interaction. We will then close the day with restorative and relaxed yoga practice.

The workshop location is The Iyengar Yoga Center, Zichron-Ya’akov (Israel), with some in-house attendees and others via Zoom. It will be given in English (with occasional Hebrew translation, in case it will be requested).
