The ABCs Of Yoga: Asana, Bandhas and Chaturangas
12:00 PM
Open Studio Yoga
Description:
A fun and informative weekend designed for all levels of yogis. Beginners will gain understanding of basic principles needed to develop a strong, safe practice and seasoned practitioners will learn technique to take their current practice up a few notches to develop more strength, more balance and more flexibility.

Asana: the physical movement of our practice, correct alignment and how to incorporate into your lifestyle

Bandhas: the locks in the body, why we need them and how to use them in asana and pranayama

Chaturangas: yoga's 5000-year-old push-up which vexes nearly every student.

In our modern culture where fast paced classes such as Vinyasa Flow, Hot Flow, and Hot Yoga are all the rage, safe practice and correct alignment are often neglected. This Workshop will guide the yoga practitioner in safe alignment, introduce bandhas to strengthen our practice and offer technique to conquer the elusive, and usually done incorrectly, chaturanga dandasana.

In the four sessions, we will have time to instruct and practice the best and safest way for your body to perform the asana. Each and every body is different, and we will address these differences and why it's so important for the yoga student to really check-in with their own bodies.

Bandhas are fairly esoterical locks in our bodies but can help us with our asana and our pranayama. We will identify the most common of these bandhas and learn how to incorporate them in our practice for a stronger, more powerful results.

The Chaturanga Dandasana is one of the most often repeated asana in a vinyasa flow, and is absolutely one of the worst performed asana_by beginners and seasoned practitioners alike_leading to injury and pain. We will have time to move through proper instruction, practice and get it right.

The Workshop will consist of four sessions, each building on the prior sessions. For this reason, it is recommended all sessions are attended.
