Yoga Studies

This class is for teachers and students of Yoga that wish to deepen their practices and studies of Yoga in new areas for personal growth and transformation.    

August 19 – Releasing the Tension in the Abdominal Enclosure and Freeing the Low Back 

Using asana and pranayama, this practice sequence helps us understand how to release tension in the abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor, and the diaphragm.  As these areas relax, the breath can be directed to move into the low back and relax the areas that we hold tight.  At least 6 months of asana practice.

August 26 —  Balance the Quadriceps (The Front Thigh Muscles)

The quadriceps – as the name indicates – consist of 4 muscles located at the front of the thigh.  Each of these muscles  play a role to extend (straighten) the leg.  When they are not balanced in strength and flexibility, they can create challenges with the knee joint.  This class looks at many practices that can help balance this muscle group. —At least 6 months of asana practice.
