Reading Workshop: 4th and 5th November 2023
Morning Class - A led practice - Ashtanga Primary Series Class, (with variations and supports if needed). Primary Series focuses primarily on forward bending (hip flexion) and external rotation of the hip joints combined with forward flexion, stretching the back body and engaging the front body. We will explore some variations to our forward bends - adding rotations and shoulder work into our forward bends.
Saturday Afternoon - A playful led class - A look at the spine in backhanding and rotations. Balancing the body after the forward bending of the morning class. The focus will be on the balance of opposites, with an orientation to our fascia, lengthening, and softening, interspersing twists with back bends. Please bring straps to this class. Explorations into rotations spiralling into asana forms.
and
Sunday 21st May 2023
Morning Class - Led Ashtanga Class - Continuation of my previous Introduction to the Intermediate Series. This class will be suitable for Primary Series Practitioners, exploring the more accessible asana from this series. The intermediate Series focuses on hip and spinal extension, engaging the muscles of the back body to pen and stretch the front body. A perfect Balance to the work of the Primary Series.
Sunday Afternoon - A playful led class - Deep hip flexion and external rotations. Spending time - harnessing our gift of gravity to release into spinal flexion, curling down and engaging the front body to assist this process of lengthening the fascia of the back body. The movement processes I present will lead us into more ease and understanding, of the journey towards the leg behind head asana.
