Posture Clinic: Alignment and Ease in Asana. with special guest, Priti Robyn Ross.
Sunday, April 7, 1:00 – 4:00 pm $45
Come join us for this unique opportunity to delve into the art, science and sacred energy of Hatha Yoga postures. In a supportive atmosphere we will explore and develop a deeper understanding of the basic anatomical principles of alignment. We will discover how healthy alignment, along with drawing the attention inward, leads to a greater level of stability, balance and ease, while igniting the powerful healing flow of prana. We will dissect essential postures and use the Mountain Posture (Tadasana) to illustrate the basic principle of “stacking the bones.” With this greater comprehension of anatomical structure, we can then easily apply this key approach to every other yoga posture. We will also learn how to recognize our common compensatory postural habits and how to adapt beneficial modifications, thereby increasing the longevity and safety of our practice. Note: All levels, from beginners to yoga teachers, are welcome Robyn will teach our new Pranotthan 200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training beginning October, 2013.

This class is suitable for both beginners and for those with some experience and will include basic breathing exercises (pranayama), foundational poses, sun salutations, and deep relaxation.Since yoga is an extremely potent agent of transformation, and not simply a form of exercise, the emphasis in this class will be on poses combined with proper breathing, inner awareness and alignment, which will bring about deep changes in one’s energy level and release deep psychic blockages. You will be guided to use a non-aggressive approach and moderate pace and avoid injury. This is your chance to glean and discover the fruits of yoga: vigor and vitality, balance, peace, a sense of well-being, and joy.
