Asana Evolution: A Deep Dive into Your Yoga Practice
Once monthly SUNDAYS 2:30-4:30pm with Ramsay & Liz
In this six-month series, we will dive deep into different practices and techniques. With a deep appreciation for the classical poses, we will focus on exploring modern variations to discuss and feel their different benefits. As teachers and students, we believe that cultivating movement literacy is crucial, developing an understanding of why we practice certain variations of poses based on our individual anatomy.
How we move matters. Equally important is understanding “the why” behind “the how”. This is crucial to maximizing the benefits and increasing the longevity of your practice. We will practice for 2 hours with a few quick breaks to workshop poses and concepts. These classes will be offered virtually with recording available if you register.
