Introduction to Ashtanga
This
class will explore the history and foundations of this
ancient healing system. A brief discussion and short
form practice of the primary series will begin the "flow" for
the weekend.
Ashtanga Primary Series
Experience
this unique system of synchronized breath and movement.
With a teacher led class through the flow of the primary
series we will explore this powerful union to bring about
a lighter and stronger body and clear mind.
Layer By Layer
Deepen your knowledge of Short Form Ashtanga
by breaking down the postures as well as learning proper
alignment. We will also uncover the modifications necessary
to help all students receive the gifts of this practice.
Just
Adjustments
Learn
the 5 different ways to give and receive adjustments. In
addition, we will explore, by partnering, the safe and
effective way of giving "hands on adjustments" that
allow all students to experience a deep level of awareness
within their practice. (Open to all workshop participants.)
"Fearasana"
Inversion Workshop
When your teacher says headstand or handstand
do you feel the need to run to the restroom? Learning to
remain steady "sthira" and joyful "sukha" when
your world is upside down is an integral part of your yoga
practice. In addition to covering headstand, handstand,
forearm stand, shoulder stand (plus bonus: chakrasana)
with props, walls and partners we will also practice poses
that help strengthen your upper body and core awareness.
All levels welcome!
