In the yoga community, we know that “advanced” can be a tricky word. There is no hierarchy in postures and no postures are essential to an enlightened lifestyle. So, what are the benefits of an advanced asana module for you?

This workshop empowers students to build upon foundational postures for a multifaceted energetic, psychological and physical experience. Such postures simultaneously combine focus, strength, mobility, integration and perseverance. They encourage us to embrace structure and fluidity, strength and softness—and then set aside such polarities.

Learning to embody complexities on the mat may translate to our ability to live full, complex lives with a greater sense of ease and balance.

Practices including pranayama, asana and meditation; lectures; workshopping postures and sequences; discussions; and journaling exercises. required reading on energetic body + asana or social justice + yoga. Details below.
