March, Cornwall - Mysore Yoga Practice Week
Morning Assisted Yoga Practice
8.30AM - 11.30AM
ASSISTED AND FACILITATED YOGA SELF PRACTICE WEEK - small groups
Indulge in your practice, with Lucy's guidance and assistance.
An orientation to specifics, with verbal and hands on assistance.
Attention to Asana alignment and breath, understanding what each Asana requires in terms of actions, how to work specific components of an Asana separately, and which muscles and actions to engage.
Each Asana requires our full attention, we need to take time to listen in - using all our senses, and not going beyond where the body feels most comfortable and at ease. The ground, and the way we meet the ground, mirrors our foundations, and supports the Asana and our correct foundation and internal orientation brings the expansion and space, into the shape.
Working with the body, breath, heart and mind.
Lucy has over 30 years of practice and teaching experience.

FTT - The Legs, (feet, ankles, knees and hips)
From the ground up - The feet, lower leg, knee and hip
Anatomy Study:
The 26 bones of the foot, how they connect to the talus, subtalar joint, and to the Calcaneus (heel bone). The relationship of the outer foot, 4th & 5th toe to the fibula and the big toe, 2nd and 3rd toe to the tibia. The Knee joint, its alignment through the patella, movement possibilities at the knee, and compensations. Supporting the knee joint with attention to the correct alignment of foot, lower leg, and to the femur and hip joint. The relevance of all of this to adjusting and correcting in Yoga Asana.

Muscle Energy Techniques For the Hamstrings, quadriceps, psoas and piriformis
Muscle energy techniques help to balance the muscles, and provide more space in the joints, engaging muscles in contraction and then engaging the natural stretch reflex, to reset muscle spindle length. How to apply this to Asana involving the legs. A focus on standing poses.
Asana study & Adjustments:
(Asana studied on each Module are listed in the Course Manual)
Hands on Adjustments, in both 'Standing and Seated Asana’. Analysing through observation, looking at alignment issues in the legs. Adjustment from the pelvis / hip down, or from the foot / ground up. Basic Adjustments, and more refined adjustments for the standing poses, and seated poses. Correct alignment of the joints. Adjustments that provide more connection to ‘ground’, and the resultant space in the hips and pelvis.
