Yoga is a wonderful medicine for the body and soul and when practised mindfully, can strengthen muscles and joints, support healing and reduce chronic pain. However, as with all physical practices, we must also be aware that
repeated misalignments over time can be counterproductive and even lead to injury.
In this foundation workshop, the aim is to create a space where we can look carefully at some of the most widely practised yoga ‘asanas’ (poses), outside of a class or flow. We will look at how to access the pose at different levels
and how to ensure good healthy alignment within that shape. We will also highlight common weak spots within the
pose which can often lead to misalignment, and what we can do to counteract that. Additionally, we will consider
some of the key physical principles that underpin all movement in yoga, helping us to stay safe and strong.
The intention is that, by understanding better the ‘whys’ behind what we do on the mat, participants of the workshop
will come away feeling empowered and better able to take ownership of their practice. With good alignment and confidence comes a greater ease and flow, and so the yoga path becomes that little brighter still.
Oh… and it will also be great fun with muffins, tea and a walk on the beach! I hope to see you there.
Any questions, just give me a shout!
