Saturday Backbend Workshop 1-3pm
“Sthita Sukham & Backbending”
Develop your ‘sthirasukha’, your firmness and comfort, for aptitude and health in your yoga. The practice starts with directing your mind towards the essential. We will look at what it takes to bend backwards with no fear. The key to deep backbends are available to you through the integration of sound anatomical principles, healthy alignment & technique, and accurate knowledge of your inner body. The movement mechanics of bending your spine are the key to an enhanced flow of energy and in this class you will begin to explore you natural potential for deep backbends with simplicity, safety, support and enthusiasm. The workshop aims at developing tools to a personal and balanced practice. All Levels Welcome.
Sunday Transitions Workshop 1-3:30pm
"Jumping, Walking, Rolling, and Floating - Transitions in Practice"
In the Ashtanga Vinyasa style practice, we spend almost as much time transitioning between postures as we do staying in each individually. This workshop will explore the many types of transitions we experience in practice; starting with floating in Surya Namaskara, followed by the illusive (and challenging) seated “jump through and jump back”, and finally the more complex entrances into arm balances and inversions. You will learn how and where to use strength and stability while creating lightness and ease in body and mind. Come with a sense of adventure! All levels welcome.
