One of the joys of a vinyasa practice is there’s always room to grow. Join Alissa for a series of workshops designed to take your practice to the next level. Whether you join one session or the whole series, you’re sure to learn from her expertise! To advance your asana, it requires consistent practice, with a deeper understanding of the body and how it transitions from one pose to the next. In this workshop series, we will work towards more challenging postures, but the focus will remain on building strength and awareness to enter these places, and less on the "end result" (which will come in time). Each session we will focus on something a little different, with the opportunity to ask questions to ensure a deeper understanding.
In this series, you will:
Work heavily on transitions to build strength
Access strength to build flexibility
Learn about internal levers
Gain a deeper understanding of the asana alignment
Work on a variety of arm balances and inversions
Week 1: (10/24)
How to build flexibility through strength. We’ll work on jumping back, jumping forward, and crow pose with multiple variations!
Week 2: (11/21)
Transitions!! This is where we build a lot of strength and awareness. The work will lead to a more focused ability to come in and out of handstand and forearm stand.
Week 3: (12/12)
Internal levers. You’ll learn what these are and how they can strengthen your postures and transitions. We’ll work towards harder variations of poses you already know!
Week 4: (1/16)
Hand balance palooza! All arm balances take place on the hands, so we’ll work a variety of these as well as some more handstand drills. The whole class will not be on your hands (that would just be crazy), but we will work towards understanding how the whole body can help support!
The asana practice is magical because it builds on itself. It is like a beautiful puzzle waiting to be put together. Join Alissa in this series and continue building your puzzle!
