Meditation Workshop at Grassroots Yoga
159 Sullivan Street, Wurtsboro, New York
Exchange $20.00, no preregistration is necessary
This offering is inspired by the ISHTA methods of Yoga Meditation. We will follow a sequence of gentle premediative asana, one or a combination of practices for focusing energy inwards (pratyahara), a period of silence, a grounding sequence and a brief savasana. This and subsequent sessions may include pranayama (energy manipulation through breathing techniques), visualization, Yoga Nidra and mantra. This practice will be customizable to the individual’s level of experience and needs within the meditation model. Each class will begin with a period of conversation for sharing the meditation and methods to be practiced that day and to honor the community.

Introduction to the Anatomy of Yoga
Upcoming dates TBD

The bones, muscles and connective tissue of the feet, legs and hips.
Day 2 – From the Hips to the Crown:
The bones, muscles and connective tissue of the core, shoulders, arms, fingers, neck and head.
Are you curious about yoga and it’s connection to your inner landscape? Do you want to learn more about your bones and their relationships to one another in asana practice? Do you want to brush up on your basic anatomy for your students? If so come join me for an introductory workshop on the anatomy of yoga.
This two part event is for practitioners who want to learn more about the relationships between the bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments and the subtle body and how to use this knowledge to enhance, strengthen and inform their practice.
In addition to anatomy the curriculum will include the chakra system and how it relates to human anatomical systems and understanding planes of movement and how they impact asana. Additional references will be drawn from ancient and traditional texts as appropriate.
This workshop will be appropriate for anyone wanting to learn more about and be able to use anatomical references made during asana classes, teachers who want to make such references relevant and accessible to their students and anyone interested in asana alignment and how to use it to deepen their practice, humans.
Each class will include practical learning, asana and breathwork.
