The word “Vinyasa” is often thrown around to mean “flow” or to describe the practice of linking movement with the breath, but the actual translation is “to move consciously.” The idea is similar to the concept of the larger central bead on a rosary or mala. The break in the repetition or pattern brings our attention back to the beginning where we start again…and again…and again. Each time we are reminded be aware of the present moment.
During this training, we will focus on asanas that relate to the traditional Sun Salutation, or Surya Namaskar. Also, Heidi Crotts will share the contemporary Ashtanga Surya Namaskar A & B and Sonia Lennartz will share the unconventional Dragon Series which is related to the Yin tradition. We will breakdown Sun Salutes in their varying forms and then apply the skill of teaching flow classes. We will also explore the two girdles of shoulders and hips as well as the philosophical approach of flow of the breath and mind as it relates to the Ashtanga (8 fold path). We will also touch on sequencing, themes, and methods of consciously weaving Vinyasa into an inspiring class.
Hours: Saturday, 11am - 4pm & Sunday, 9am - 2pm (with short lunch breaks)
