Practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga day in and day out can feel repetitive, especially if we are stuck on a posture, injured, or stop progressing as fast as we’d like to. When we get older we might even find we have to give up postures instead of accrue them. What is this practice all about? Why should we stick with it, ashtanga or any type of yoga? Well, the answers are endless and within each of us. In this workshop Jessica shares her top 10 principles of the practice which have helped her heal and keep things fresh and alive over the last 30 years of consistent practice, even after a major spinal injury. These principles illuminate how the practice of Ashtanga can help us to get to know ourselves, over and over again in a new, renewed light. During this workshop we will also talk about the 3 bandhas that can be accessed during the practice. Jessica will go over the anatomical and physiological aspects of mula bandha, uddiyana bandha, and jalandhara bandha as well as the benefits of the bandhas in practice and in everyday life. We will also attempt to access the bandhas through breathing and the various types of asanas in the practice, specifically focusing on certain asanas that might make that connection more conscious. This session will also explore some essential practices and approaches that we can do in order to honor the injury or stage of life we are in, and avoid further injury or heal from it. This will be an interactive session where students will have an opportunity to share their own stories and experiences.
Cost: $45
