Course Description: Yoga is a 5000 year old self-awareness technology, which uses mechanically brilliant exercises (postures), to balance and heal the body, to calm the nervous system and to quiet the mind. The process of learning includes alignment, strength and flexibility as some of the integral structural components. These, along with focused mind body connections and breath work, are the mainstays of all yoga styles. In this workshop, we will literally and comprehensively move through all of the basic yoga postures to understand and experience their mechanics and their relationships to normal and stable movement patterns. We will also discuss their capacities for healing specific injuries, and the healing power of the yoga process. No prior yoga experience is required, and some anatomy background is helpful.
