Happy Points, Happy Joints : Yoga Workshop
SAT Jan 24th 4pm - 7:30pm w/ Alex
Are you new to yoga and looking for an Alignment Primer? This workshop will teach you all the alignment basics you need to have a happy body for a quality, sustainable yoga practice.
Perhaps you have a long time yoga practice and want to get clarity on how to take good care of your body in every practice. This workshop will be a comprehensive look and foundational yoga alignment.
This will not be a cookie cutter workshop that teaches alignment as if trying to fit you into a box of placing your body parts in “proper” location. Here’s a yoga insight: There is no Universal Proper Location. This is because we are all anatomically unique. It is easy to think otherwise because most people learn Anatomy from a book and books rarely show this kind of variation, but real human beings are a little different from each other. It is odd that most of us see visible uniqueness on the outside (like individual faces that do not look alike), yet we assume uniformity inside.
Thus Alignment will look different for different bodies. Does this mean it’s impossible to understand alignment or that it will take some PhD level Anatomical Study? Not at all. Alex will simplify anatomical variations so not only will you know how to align your body in common yoga poses, but understand how to align yoga poses that you have never seen before.
We suggest you bring some note taking materials.
