Key Concepts
of Yoga
11am -1:30pm
Deepen your
practice and
expand your
knowledge of
sequencing.
So often our
practice
becomes
unsatisfying,
or we can’t
even get
started on a
daily
practice. Or
as teachers
we are
looking for
ways to help
our students
progress
within an
easeful
practice.
Part of the
answer lies
in not only
knowing what
poses to do,
but in what
sequence to
do them in.
Be simple,
but go
beyond just
practicing
what your
teacher
presents in
class, or
beyond the
sequences
presented in
a book. This
workshop is
a window
into
understanding
what you
experience
in your
weekly
classes as
well as how
to approach
your own
personal
yoga
practice.
Back Care First Aid
2:30pm-5pm
Does your back get sore and tired after teaching
yoga or working in the yard all day? Have you had a
major back pain episode where you can’t lie down,
sit up, walk, or put on your own shoes? Yoga is
famous for preventing and reducing back pain.
Experience how B.K.S. Iyengar modifies basic yoga
poses to get you on the road to recovery and living
peacefully in your body.
Theresa Rowland is the director of Studio Yoga in
Madison, NJ and the Studio Yoga Teacher Education
Program. She has been teaching for 44 years, holds
several Iyengar Yoga Teacher Certifications, and has
studied directly in India with the Iyengar
family. Among Theresa’s many talents is her ability
to show the many ways an asana can be approached and
make challenging poses accessible...and fun!.

AUGUST |
Safe Inversions
— With Gabriel Halpern
Friday,
August 6
6:00pm-8:30pm - $55 |
|
An inversion
can be
defined as
any pose
where the
legs are
above the
head, or the
head is
below the
heart, or
both at the
same time.
Yoga says
that
inversions,
done daily,
give
vitality,
clarity, and
tranquility.
Special
attention
will be
given to
head stand
and shoulder
stand, so
beginners
can learn
how to
approach
these poses
with proper
sequencing
that will
help avoid
glitches and
teach
recovery
poses to
undo any
incorrect
habits of
practice.
Continuing
and advanced
students
will learn
variations
and creative
prop work to
refine their
understanding
and guide
their future
development. |
