WORKSHOPS
EARTH | GROUNDING & BALANCE
WEDNESDAY, OCT 30, 5:30-7 PM
Earth is our foundation, the roots from which we rise. In this workshop, we will focus on standing and balancing postures on feet and on hands, learning ways to build strength in the legs. Postures will include forward bends, triangle and side angle postures, and various inversions. In the Ashtanga yoga series, Earth is the principal element of the Primary Series.
FIRE + WATER | STRENGTH & MOBILITY
FRIDAY, NOV 1, 5:30-7 PM
While Fire is dynamic and strong, Water is soft and adaptive. These are opposite energies, much like strength and mobility. In our yoga practice, we aim for a harmonious marriage of both. This workshop will explore these two elements, particularly in postures relating to the hips and spine. Fire and Water are the combined forces of Sthira Bhaga (Strength and Grace), the third series of Ashtanga yoga.
AIR + EARTH | CHEST OPENING
SATURDAY, NOV 2, 1-2:30 PM
Air and Earth are the primary elements of all back-bending postures. In this workshop, we will practice these chest-opening postures as embodiments of breath while also learning ways to keep our nervous system grounded. Did you know that there are eight bird postures in Ashtanga yoga’s Intermediate series? And wonderful embodiments of both Air and Earth.
