Smart Yoga - Adding Intelligence to Your Practice
with Adarsh Williams
4-day Intensive: 2012/11/8 – 11/11
Smart Yoga is not a style of yoga; it is a way of adding intelligence to your yoga. One of the biggest challenges facing yoga students is how to practically apply the techniques talked about in a typical yoga class. This Immersion will focus on making a clear connection between yoga and practical anatomy.
Although the goal of yoga is a mental state of balance, it is clear that we use the vehicle of body and breath to arrive. Therefore it is helpful for those practitioners to have a good foundation in practical anatomy so they may use the body in a way that is most efficient. When the body moves well, the breath naturally deepens and the mind becomes clear.
This course is open to all levels. Experienced beginners will enjoy a safe and detailed introduction to the practice, while intermediate to advanced students will benefit from expert instruction and hands on adjustment.
Each day will consist of two yoga practices - the morning session will start with prelude practices including kriya (cleansing) and pranayama, and follow by a vigorous vinyasa yoga practice. The afternoon session will consist of exercises based on yoga, Pilates, and AIS to bring the anatomy to life.
Asana Refinement class: using yoga anatomy to clearly understand how yoga works; the science of flexibility, strength, & balance; and how to go deeper.
