Gravitational drag can either free or distort our anatomy. Yoga trains our attention to see how the body responds to different positions with respect to gravity. Any pain in a given movement is an indication that the body wants us to pay attention to something. Since form and function go together: if the form is lacking in proper positioning, the function must be impaired as well. So to improve our functioning, we have to improve our form. How?
Alignment is a kind of enlightenment and in this workshop you’ll learn why. Yoga is not stretching just to be more flexible; every posture (asana) must be checked against the biomechanics of alignment. Through the practice, each student can observe first-hand the distortions of their anatomy and how to correct them.
Post Workshop Reminder:
Life long Yoga practitioners know how exhausting it is just managing the stress associated with long term or chronic ailments. So of course learning to relax is very helpful regardless of what issues we are facing. Be in it for the long haul;.progressive refinement comes through practice over time, so stick with it.
