TWO-PART WORKSHOP Second session meets Tuesday, June 26, same time.
Tension, stiffness and slouching are not local physical problems, but always system-wide issues. Basic and long-lived patterns of habit often interfere with enjoyment and progress. Explore the relationship between everyday habits of movement and habits on the mat. Deepen your knowledge of sustainable and intelligent alignment according to our innate human design, on and off the mat. This will help you avoid injuries and pains connected with habitual mis-use of the body.
Come learn about:
• The patterns that typically create tension
• How to detect them in yourself
• Strategies to avoid injuries due to habitual mis-use of the body
In the first part, learn to identify habitual tension patterns on and off the mat.
In the second part, apply the new-found knowledge to asana practice and situations from day-to-day life.
This is a very practical, hands-on workshop.
Space is limited. Please pre-register. Maximum 8 students.
