The sun salutations are traditionally a gratitude practice, a moving meditation that says, “thank you”. Practicing gratitude helps us to shift the mind’s perspective and let go of identification with the ego. The sun is also the lightest and brightest thing in our world and is a symbol of the lightest and brightest part of ourselves, our inner light. 108 is a very auspicious number. One of the reasons there are 108 mala beads in a mala is that this is a very complete number, representing a full cycle. There are also 108 important Upanishadic texts in Vedanta.
*This workshop is suitable for all levels. Excellent for teachers and students who want to become teachers, and for anyone who wants to learn more about Sun Salutations.

DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE WITH
HANDS-ON ADJUSTMENTS 2.0
In this workshop, we will revisit some of the adjustments we worked
on in the first Hands-on Adjustment workshop and explore new poses.
You do not have to have attended the first workshop in order to
come to this workshop.
Learn how to go deeper in your poses with hands-on adjustments. Students will receive hands-on adjustments in a variety of poses and learn how to deepen each pose, without losing the essential alignment of the pose. Receiving hands-on adjustments are a great way to get out of your comfort zone and to go beyond where you could go on your own. Learn how to practice safely and properly and apply alignment principles, while taking your practice to the next level, and going to your edge and beyond, with hands-on adjustments. Use the knowledge you learn in this workshop to go deeper in every pose, and in every class!
*This workshop is suitable for all levels. Excellent for teachers and students who want to become teachers, and for anyone who wants to learn more about Sun Salutations.

Students will learn how to stretch and strengthen specific muscles in their body, how to create more balance, and how to specifically open their hips and prevent injuries.
*Suitable for all levels. This workshop is excellent for yoga teachers and yoga students but also for anyone who wants to learn more about hip opening and how to prevent future injuries, especially to the low back and the knees.
Having a strong core is essential in order to master challenging
balancing poses, especially inversions like the headstand and
handstand. A strong core is empowering, gives us confidence, and
helps to promote healthy boundaries. Core exercises are challenging
and they take us into the fire, creating a lot of tapas and helping
to train the mind to concentrate.
Students will review anatomy, learn the core muscles, their
function, how they are used in different poses, and discuss
sequencing and the purpose of the core exercises in a yoga class.
Learn how to stabilize your low back with core bracing techniques,
how to engage the transverse abdominus and other deep core muscles,
and take a closer look at the muscles used during respiration,
pranayama, and the advanced bandha
& mudra practices.
