Moving from the Organs Workshop & Class Series



Stirham sukham asanam
Abiding in ease is the Asana.
~Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Pada II, V. 46


'Moving from the Organs' is a series of workshops and classes that will approach the Yoga asana from a deeper level; the vital organs of the body.  

Attention to the shape of the asana (Yogic poses) and anatomy will be demonstrated throughout the classes.  Students will learn to look at and perform the postures in a way that is beneficial to the whole body while focusing on the placement of specific organs in each pose.  

While the student knowing muscle and bone alignment within the asana is important, this organ work is the key to health within the whole body system.  If the organs aren't healthy then the body and the individual may suffer.

I will be teaching key poses and techniques I learned from Judith Hanson Lasater's "Moving from the Organs" week long workshop.  Judith is not only a physical therapist but she has been teaching Yoga for over 40 years.  Her Yoga is challenging while educating the student on how to benefit the most within the asana while practicing Ahimsa (non harming).

Judith has defined practicing from the organs as "a means of positioning the body to either increase or decrease energy in the organs in such a way as to bring ease, lightness, and health to the body and create a background in the nervous system which provides the springboard for living easily and fully."

You won't want to miss this informative and dynamic class!

Due to lack of enrollment, this workshop and class series is cancelled.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I will teach this topic again in the near future.

Namaste`
