Yoga Therapy: Advanced Somatic Assessment
An āsana is built from the ground up. This is due to our love/hate relationship with gravity and until we master the ability to slip the bonds of gravity, our bodies are constantly adapting to the pressures of the earth. During this process our bodies compensate for weaknesses and injuries, some muscles become weak and others hyper tonic. During Advanced Somatic Assessment participants will explore the triune model of somatic assessment and by observing their own bodies as we move through basic asana, be able to take those skills back to their students and their own practice. Other topics we will touch on include: how compensatory patterns effect our bioenergetic systems, consciousness and perception.
Nāḍī-śodhana – A Practice For Transformation
During this exploratory workshop we will delve into the philosophy, practice and physical and energetic anatomy involved in Nāḍī-śodhana and why it is such a simple yet powerful vehicle for transformation and realization.
