25 Years Free Online Class | Reawakening Appreciative Joy with Whit Hornsberger
Celebrate 25 years of breathing and moving together with a shared practice of gratitude and embodied wellbeing

In this hour long workshop we will explore the fundamental Buddhist practice of muditā, reawakening the innate cognitive attribute of appreciative joy / gratitude. Beginning with a discussion on the Buddhist and Western neuroscience of gratitude, this session will entail a theoretical and experiential understanding of how gratitude / appreciative joy (muditā) is an imperative practice for embodied well-being, available in each and every moment of our daily lives.

25 Years | THE celebration
Come as you are. Meet old friends. Make new ones.
For 25 years, Yoga Moves has been about much more than yoga classes.
It has been about people. About showing up, practising together, learning, changing, laughing, sweating, slowing down — and meeting people you might otherwise never have met.
On Saturday 21 November, we’re bringing all of that together for one special night.
And we would love you to be part of it.
25 years. One night. Our community.
We’re taking over NE:EL, an urban space in Utrecht, for an evening that brings together people from every chapter of Yoga Moves.
Whether you joined us in the early days, did a Teacher Training with us years ago, teach or work with us now, practise every week, or only recently walked through our doors for the first time — this celebration is for you.
Expect music, stories, memories, food & one drink on us, familiar faces, new connections and a few surprises along the way.
