Designed for those who are interested in enhancing their experience of Yoga, this workshop provides the guidelines for exploring structural alignment within each Yoga pose (asana). When basic foundation is strong, the full potentialof a pose can be expressed energetically. Practice becomes delightful regardless of what goes on externally.
Understanding a pose is the first step towards enjoying a consistent Yoga practice. When a pose is steady and comfortable, the breath is calm and the Mind can begin to focus. Improved posture, increased lung capacity and clarity of mind are just some of the immediate benefits to be gained.

Ashtanga Yoga
Based on the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Reasearch Institute in Mysore, India.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an ancient and powerful practice that promotes self practice. The different series combine specific sequences of postures (asana) with Vinyasa.
There are three very important elements to the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga:
• UJJAYI (breathing style)
• BANDHA (locks)
• DRSHTI (gazing point)
This approach produces internal heat, purifying the physical body and the nervous system. The result is a strong, graceful body and a calm, focused mind. As you allow each posture to reveal its essence to you, your Heart increasingly opens and expands to the limitless of your Beingness.
The Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa) is therapeutic in nature, encouraging the body to release its toxins and tightness (mainly muscular skeletal). The different postures in this series also purifies and tones the internal organs. The spine is invited to become supple again through the backbends and this prepares you for more advanced backbends to come.
The Second Series (Nadi Shodhana) is purifying to the nervous system. Your body becomes increasingly lighter and stronger at the same time.
