Yoga Anatomy and Alignment in Asana
with Sheida
Date: 19 February 2019
Time : 5.00 pm - 6.15 pm
Venue : ILC Hall
Description:
These yoga sessions highlight basic anatomy and alignment. Each class focuses on a specific musculoskeletal group, and begins with a brief description of the corresponding anatomy. We then engage these muscles and bones through a variety of asanas (standing poses, twists, hip openers, forward and back bends). The use of props helps students at all levels to develop sensitivity, and practice with greater stability, effectiveness, and ease. Understanding basic anatomy, alignment, and use of props allows practitioners to receive the full benefits of each asana without overextending themselves.
