In this class we learn the truth about Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations). The Sun Salutations are freeing, refreshing, and invigorating. The muscles in the arms, legs, and upper back are developed to free and extend the spine. The pacing, moving with the breath helps us find lightness and ease as we flow from one pose to the next.
This class takes us on a journey to discover our inner strength. First through the body, we work with poses that are heating and energizing to build strength, flexibility, and to sharpen our focus and concentration to take us beyond the physical, so that we can see, know, and love ourselves inside and out.
These poses are both energizing and grounding. With regular practice standing poses help strengthen and stretch the muscles in the arms and legs, tone the abdominal muscles, create freedom and extension in the spine, and open the chest and shoulders. In this class we learn the fundamentals of these essential postures to establish a solid foundation for our practice and develop the flexibility and muscular awareness required for more advanced practice.
In this class we explore the abdominal poses. These poses are often thought of as core strengthening, by gripping and tightening the abdominal muscles you get strong and picturesque abs. However, this way of muscling through can create strain, and even cause back pain. In this class, rather than flexing or gripping, we learn to tone the abdomen by stretching the arms and the legs, allowing the abdomen to settle back so that the navel moves in and up. On a physical level this helps lengthen and extend the spine, which helps relieve backache. On an organize level that toning is nourishing. Where gripping can be depleting, correct toning helps is invigorating.
Through postural adjustments this class teaches the correct alignment when standing to help relieve and prevent strain in the neck and shoulders. We will also work with various exercises that open the shoulders, mobilize the upper back, and open the chest. Lifting the chest helps raise our hearts, expanding our awareness and emotional intelligence in all directions.
Inspired by Bass Reeves. This Iyengar class teaches the steps to developing sirsasana (headstand) and sarvangasana (shoulderstand) so we learn to conquer the fear of balancing in the middle of the room.
