| with Doug Keller |
| We will gather 3 times for the following workshops: |
| Friday Night, 5:00 to 8:00pm |
| Sacred Freedom: The Sacrum and its support System |
| In this session we’ll take a very close look at the sacrum — at its anatomy, at the muscles that form its support system for safe movement, and at the mischief and injuries that can result when it is not working right. This will be an extraordinarily informative and hands-on session in which assessment of sacral problems as well as languaging of instructions for guiding students (or yourself) through safe and beneficial practice of asanas will be the major emphasis. Our activities will include practice of asanas (exploring alignment and action for the sacrum) as well as an in-depth look at assessment techniques for sacral health and the role of marma points in the process of healing (with hands-on experience). Anatomical illustrations, teaching points and marma points covered in the session will be provided through slides, and will be yours to keep and use in document form after the workshop. |
| Saturday Afternoon, 2:00 to 5:00pm |
| The Psoas: Don’t Push the River |
| This will be an intermediate asana session, with new insights into the psoas — the core muscle at the center of all flowing action, whether in asana or in day-to-day life. After doing a number of poses in each class of poses (standing, inversions, backbending, etc.) we’ll pause to look at the specifics of the role of the psoas in each — including proper alignment, action, and signs of dysfunction. We’ll emphasize how to assess problems with the psoas and ‘core’ -- and how to release, activate, strengthen, and best support the work of this gatekeeper of the ‘midline’ in asana practice, as well as ‘off the mat.’ Illustrations and teaching points covered in the session will be provided. |
| Sunday Afternoon, 2:00 to 5:00pm |
| Rasa Sadhana: Emotion, Breath and Marma: Insights from Ayurveda to Inspire Your Yoga |
| Ayurveda provides a framework for getting a handle on the all-important role of emotion or ‘rasa’ in our lives, with insights into: how our emotional responses are shaped by our own unique ‘Prakrti’ or constitution; how we can respond creatively through our yoga practice (particularly through pranayama and meditation as well as asana) for greater empowerment in our lives; and the role of marma therapy in conjunction with asana practice to support that process. We’ll be directly practicing stimulation of the marma points to support better patterns of breathing. Illustrations and explanations of marma points covered in the session will be provided. |
