Workshop Description
This weekend workshop falls auspiciously on the last three nights of Goddess Durga Navratri (Her name in Sanskrit means difficulty).
An archetype of her-own-making, Durga's myth brings us to the powerful discovery of our own independence on the path. With beauty, grace and fortitude, Durga is the embodiment of hidden matrikas (Sanskrit for little mothers, meaning yogic powers).
This workshop aims to provide a safe and open chamber to invite and explore one's independence by turning inward. Anchored in the relationship between stillness and movement, the subtle and technical; this workshop is sequenced to prepare the body for meditation, pranayama and soulful reflection.

Shelley Tomczyk

Shelley began practicing yoga in 1997 and started teaching in 2001. She pays homage to her teachers in Hatha, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Anusara yoga methods. With vigilance and passion for the play of paradox, Shelley provides deep arrows into one's discipline & strength in balance with how to access the calm and inner contentment. She shares her captivation by the teachings and stories within the yoga tradition through a fearless and curious investigation of the inner world. Each practice invites a spontaneous creation unfolding upon itself, mirroring the movements of nature and great elements. Shelley has a deep resonance with the subtle and esoteric, yet grounds you in the body's experience of the asana beyond the postures. Shelley has been committed to the Vancouver yoga community in Canada for over twenty years and is known as a teacher’s teacher. She continues to make her offerings throughout Canada, India, and Europe.
