A fundamental principle of Iyengar Yoga is the progressive
movement from the gross to the subtle, from the outer to the inner,
from the known to the unknown, and from the periphery to the
core,
In this series of workshops, we will experience poses from many
categories – standing poses, backbends, inversions, twists and
forward extensions – while taking the journey inward.
You may wish to experience the classes as a progressive series, yet
each class will be complete within itself, so taking the whole
series is not required.
Working with the Structure - August 22
We start our journey with standing poses and back arches to explore
the poses from a skeletomuscular point of view.
Moving from the Organic Body – September 19
This class will focus on twists and forward extensions, using the
breath to access the inner physiological body.
Freedom and Space – October 17
To experience sensitivity, awareness, and serenity, we will explore
inversions, a variety of supported postures, and pranayama, the art
of yogic breathing.
$55 per class, or $150 for all 3
Together we will explore human movement through mobilization
drills, including new patterns and play, with the intent of
becoming a better mover regardless of the situation. Come and feel
like a kid again (or still), while rediscovering natural mobility
lost through years of disuse, specialization in sport, etc.
It is requested that attendees be comfortable with squatting,
kneeling and plow pose. Long pants and clothing without zippers,
snaps, or anything that may scratch the hardwood floor is required.
Also, consistent attendance helps the instructor and the
student.
David's hope is to build a strong community of movers in our hometown; a community who is eager to explore, is passionate about becoming better human animals, and supporting each other in the process.
David Finley is a mixed-movement artist, who has studied and practiced various forms of movement throughout his life. His teaching focuses on proper technique, alignment, and logical progressions to building strength, flexibility and resilience.
