Meets 5 Tuesdays. No class July 4.
10:45 am-12 Noon
This series is an introduction to the yoga practice or can act as a refinement of your current practice. Linda will share her experience both as a yoga therapist and as a yoga teacher that trains other teachers. She will help you develop new skills and/or fine-tune your existing skills as you explore habitual patterns that can, over time, develop into problems and/or injuries. All are welcome.
This series is an excellent way for yoga teachers, beginning and seasoned, to fine-tune their cueing and alignment skills to work with all levels of yoga students easily. The series is approved for Yoga Alliance CE credits.
Each class will build upon the previous class so we can reinforce alignment and increase stability:
Week 1: Tadasana—Find out why this pose is called the Foundation of ALL Yoga Poses.
Week 2: Open Hip Poses—Direct counter poses to release tight, weak muscles from sitting and strengthen weak muscles for better movement such as walking and balancing.
Week 3: Closed Hip Poses—Adding onto the work from the previous week, learn how to strengthen the front line of the body and the back line of the body.
Week 4: Salutations for students of all levels. One of the benefits of a movement practice such as a safe slow-moving Vinyasa practice is the movement of circulatory fluids, freedom of breath, and stabilization as you transition from pose to pose.
Week 5: Taking care of YOU with a restorative and breath practice.
A pdf of the weekly practice will be supplied as a resource to build a home practice.
Price for the 5-week series: $100/$90 for Ahimsa members and those who register before 5/31.
