Jared McCann Weekend

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from International Yoga Asana Champion Jared McCann! Jared is an international yoga teacher and holds an advanced E-RYT 500 designation. He has studied yoga extensively with Dharma Mittra, Anna Forrest, and Mary Jarvis. He has decades of practice in Ashtanga, Bikram, Dharma, Forrest, and Iyengar yoga combining all disciplines together in his vinyasa series. He continually studies new and old traditions and implements them to both his practice and teachings.

Jared believes that yoga is a powerful tool which assists human progress, allowing each individual to peel off layers of their "identities" in order to uncover their own true nature. He believes that through yoga, practitioners feel part of something larger than themselves, and are better able to see their own divine place in the universe.

Info: The original hot yoga sequence! Jared has been teaching this class for 15 years and was his first yoga love when he stumbled into Bikram Yoga Lower East Side at 23 years of age. Jared also won 1st place in the international Bishnu Gosh Yoga Competition in 2012, which is when Bikram’s wife, Rajashree, sent him on his first world tour. The rest is history. Come and enjoy this powerful class led by a Bikram Yoga asana Champion. Jared’s focus is the Raja Yoga (yoga of the mind) when teaching this class.

Info: This is Jared's classic Vinyasa class and personal yoga practice. It is a dynamic blend of postures from the Ashtanga, Dharma, Forrest, and Bikram Yoga lineages, sequenced to perfection. Postures are held for 5 - 10 breaths so that students have time to settle and breathe. The class begins with abdominal work to warm up the body and then flows through a sequence of standing postures. We finish the class on the floor exploring depth in our forward folds, backbends, twists, and hip openers. Focus is on breath and proper alignment. Breathwork and meditation will be included. Expect to feel grounded and clear afterwards. All levels welcome!

Info: In this workshop we will warm up with a backbendy vinyasa sequence to heat up the body and then focus on important details for creating a strong foundation for your backbending postures. Students will learn:

-how thigh bones are positioned in combination with posterior pelvic tilt
-proper engagement of the glutes
-how to position the pelvis in backbends
-how to utilize the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to protect the lower back.
-the relationship between the bottom ribs and the pelvis

After the vinyasa flow we will work into the backbending postures. Wall walks, bow variations, camel variations, and wheel variations will be taught. All levels welcome. Students are encouraged to work at their pace.

Info: This class begins with a JM Vinyasa warm up and then we dive into getting comfortable upside down. We will work on Dolphin to Forearm stand, and variations in forearm stand such as hollowback, splits, tiger, scorpion, and finding a straight line. Students will have wall access so you do not need to hold the balance on your own. We will then move into handstands, and handstand transitions. Jared will teach various ways to work on clean entrances to handstand with use of the wall, as well as finding full body engagement while in handstand. We will finish with some fun and challenging transitions. All levels are welcome!

Info: This 84 class is taught differently in that Jared will practice during the class and demo the poses, while giving verbal feedback to students. If a normal yoga class is equivalent to brushing your teeth, this class is like going to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. Explore every twist, backbend, compression, and inversion in classical Hatha Yoga. This class is the foundation of Jared's practice and he has been teaching it for over 2 decades. It is a sparkling jewel of Yoga Asana. All levels welcome.

This is a sequence from the Bishnu Ghosh lineage that contains 84 classic yoga asanas. Bishnu is Paramahansa Yogananda's brother and Bikram's teacher. Bikram introduced this class of 84 poses in the early 90s at his school in Los Angeles and would regularly practice it with his students.
