Mastering The Basics – Yoga Workshop

…a virtuoso masters the basics

...all efforts become effortless

…spontaneous meditation can then occur in the asanas

It is familiar in a yoga practice to sometimes rush to learn how to master the more impressive, fancier yoga asanas as if they are somehow a better indication of the quality of your practice and demonstrates how ‘good’ you are at yoga.

But what about the basics?

Like any true art form or discipline, the yoga practitioner needs a strong foundation on which to build up strength, technique and understanding before moving on to the next level. This is the same for yoga, the most seemingly simple asanas can be the most challenging to do.

This workshop will focus on thorough and correct alignment of the spine in the asanas which facilitates the energy to run smoothly around the body.

We will be ‘mastering’ and refining the basic asanas:

downward dog / upward dog
surya namaskars
forward bending
standing poses + balances
back bends, shoulder stands + headstands
savasana

This workshop is suitable for all levels from absolute beginner to advanced.
