Refine from Head to Toe in Standings

“An asana is not a posture which you assume mechanically. It involves thought, at the end of which a balance is achieved between movement and resistance”. (B.K.S. Iyengar)

Standing asanas are the basis of the practice of yoga. Mastering this basis will then easily guide you into all other asanas. In our morning class at the of the festival you will be introduced to a few techniques involving the use of props to refine the alignment in standing postures.

The Art of Twisting: From the Outside In

Cleanse and refresh by wringing out the toxins and lackluster from the muscles, tissues and organs. Free the hips and shoulders. Twist for a happy and healthy spine. Twisting Postures will help restore your spine's natural range of motion, cleanse your organs, and stimulate circulation.

An Iyengar Class with an emphasis on alignment will focus on lengthening and extension of the spine to work into twists. We will work with postures that provide a fundamental understanding of twists and work towards some deeper twists in standings, seated postures, inversions and supine postures.

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open."... BKS Iyengar
