Ground through Externally Rotated Standing Postures on April 22nd

Learn the grounding stability of standing poses. Understand how each posture relates, what structural limitations might exist, and how to safely and effectively maximize the range of motion using their unique bone structure. Mentally experience, through pranayama and mindfulness, how to cultivate a sense of ground and safety at any moment. 

Balance with Neutrally Roated Standing Postures on May 20th

Balance effort with ease through neutrally rotated standing postures by learning to work mentally and physically with pairs of opposites. Explore how to find strength without tension, work without frustration, and accept one’s capabilities with contentment. Students will examine these concepts in postures such as crescent, warrior one, and pyramid. 

Shift Your Perspective with Inversions on May 21st

Begin to apply your strong foundation from standing postures towards maintaining integrity in inversions. Challenge your perspective of what defines an inversion and your capabilities. Learn how to build muscular strength and confidence to maintain control physically and mentally. Students can learn and apply these principles with their feet on the ground. 

Find Comfort in the Discomfort with Hip Openers & Arm Balances on June 24th

Learn to open your hips safely and correctly by understanding the component parts and actions required in forward folds and arm balances. Students will see an anatomical breakdown muscularly and structurally to prevent injury and work effectively with your bone structure. Explore your edge as you balance discomfort with comfort and learn to work with incremental wisdom. 

Compassionately Open Your Body with Backbends on July 15th

Backbends can be stimulating, energizing, and fun when done correctly. Understand how to find space in the upper back, lengthen the lower back, and strengthen the legs in backbends to reap the rewards of countering daily life movements. Students will also learn to use backbends to foster self-compassion for well-being, healing, and protection. 

Let Go and Twist on July 16th

Twists incorporate an element of balance which can produce instability in the posture, making them precarious and frustrating. Learn to let go of expectations and find stability by separating the upper and lower body by working with dual actions. Patience, length, and strength cultivate balance and the ability to go deeper.
