Increasing flexibility is one of the most consistently reported benefits of practicing yoga. However, flexibility can be easily mistaken for the ability to perform spectacular feats of contortion or acrobatic moves.
In this workshop, we will
1. Focus on functional flexibility and learn how to safely widen our range of motion.
2. Use asanas and the yogic union of mind, body and soul, to tap into our emotions and find balance in challenging postures.
Workshop #1: Flexible spine (2 hours)
The human body adapts easily to our daily routines, limiting our range of motions. We tend to sit in the wrong postures, stress our necks as we look at our phone… These are small daily routines that can lead to bad posture, pain, injuries and damages to the spine.
In this workshop, we will learn how to safely release the stress in our spine, chest and shoulders and how to increase our range of motion, through deep bends and twists.
Workshop #2: Open hips (2 hours)
The fact that the human body has a memory is now widely recognized. Our bodies can store emotions, generally as a defense mechanism. Sometimes, emotions pile up, affecting other parts of our body, mind or daily lives.
In this workshop, we will learn how to safely release the stress in our pelvic area, which is one of the areas where we store a lot of emotions. Practicing hip-openers will not only help us increase flexibility; it will also help us progress in the many other postures you didn’t think they were related to hips.
Both workshops are accessible to students of all levels, from absolute beginner to advanced levels.
