Align and Flow Series
Get inspired and fortified. Explore how energetic and physical alignment can empower your practice. These workshops will offer a deeper explanation and experience of pranayama (breath) and asana (posture), as well as some subtler practices such as bandhas (energetic valves) and chakras, behavior guides(yamas) and observances (niyamas). We will observe ourselves through many types of yogic movement, anatomy, energetic awareness, slowing down transition to make your practice smoother and safer. You will take what you learn in these workshops directly in to a powerful home practice or a dynamic flow class. I want you to be empowered and educated about how your physical and energetic body get the most out of this transformational practice. Bring your questions and a Beginners Mind. These workshops can be taken individually, but all build upon each other.

Advanced Alignment Flow for a Strong and Sustainable Practice
Do you want to practice yoga for the rest of your life? Me too! In a dynamic and powerful flow style of yoga we rarely take time to slow down and learn specifics of the poses. Where do we need to stabilize Where can we release? When do we internally rotate and when do we externally rotate? Which way does my foot point in which warrior? In this workshop we will take the time to learn these things so that when we practice our dynamic flow we know where to go and can get there with in the pace of the flow. Workshop topics: - alignment of the poses that we do a lot: chatarunga, up dog, down dog, warriors, forward folds - stabilizing major joints: low back, shoulders, hips, and wrists - lengthening (stretching) muscles - ideal range of movement, avoiding overstretching and supporting stiffness - range of acceptable sensations and what the body is communicating Please come with your alignment questions and a beginners mind. Although this will be a slow flow, expect to work hard and sweat. |
