Let’s bring awareness to principles of body alignment and how the habitual use or disuse of our various parts are affecting how we move with everyday activities such as sitting and walking. Each session will focus on one or two poses of yoga as the palette for exploring the movement of our body and offer varying cues to illuminate how to move more of our parts in healthy ways both in our practice and throughout our daily lives.
Tree Pose
Tree Pose (Vrksasana) is a seemingly simple pose. But as both a single legged, balanced stance as well as a hip opener, the principles of this pose stand at the “root” of much of our ability to move well both on and off the mat! In this session, we’ll look deeper into the components and movement habits needed to develop better stability in balance as well as practice moving in ways that help mobilize our hips. We’ll explore how these movement details helps us find more freedom of movement not only on the mat but also with everyday activities such as walking..
Ok, this isn’t tree pose, but it is me posing in a tree….
