• Spinal Alignment in Posture: How to Use Props and Alignment to Explore Limitations and Boundaries
October 31 (Sunday), 2:00 - 5:30 p.m.
The use of props expands the feeling of openness and energy in poses, while focus on alignment creates a frame of reference by which to measure resistance and effort. Peter leads the class toward a fuller understanding of how to feel alignment, which gives grace and depth to one’s practice. In the experience the feeling of a “good” posture, you move from simple to multi-dimensional awareness. This workshop is open to everyone with some yoga experience.
