The Body As Temple: Therapeutic classes

Each class will focus on key regions of the body, and the Universal Principles of Alignment that enable us to move into the Optimal Blueprint in every pose. When the body/mind/heart is in the Optimal Blueprint, health and wellness increase, pain and discomfort decrease. Each class will include basic anatomy and physiology, with therapeutic yoga practices to empower you in a deeper knowledge and understanding of the body. We will apply the principles of alignment in exercises and poses from the level I syllabus, to empower you in a well aligned practice that optimizes the temple of the body. Appropriate for all yoga students and yoga teachers, no previous experience of Anusara Yoga is required, and sessions will be customized to serve the needs of the attendees.
