Energetic Alignment

Overview

Aligning from the inside out

Alignment is an expression of the greatest vitality and most amount of ease in our being. This makes space to experience the most amount of integration and connection in our own body and clears a pathway for a mind–heart harmony. We'll explore an approach to alignment that goes beyond muscle and bone, and connects us with the movement of energy in the subtle body.

You'll learn to:

  • Create a steady foundation for both simple and complex postures.
  • Explore how internal experiences shape outer alignment
  • Explore your practice as the foundation for building asana sequences
  • Align the physical body with emotions, experience and history
  • Bring sankalpa/intention into each pose and the transitions between poses
  • Integrate a sense of spanda (expansion and contraction) into practice
  • Explore the five directions of prana as a foundation to physical and emotional integration and alignment
  • Understand the key anatomical foundations for alignment, via guest teacher, Harvey Deutc
