Using Natarajasana as a template let’s dive into the ecstasy of back bending. Nataraja is the Divine Dancer who rides the waves of cosmic energy. During this weekend we will analyze the elements of backbends from a number of perspectives.

We will look at anatomy and preparatory poses that stretch, strengthen, awaken and balance the core and the limbs helping those with back issues. We will use our understanding of the chakras and five elements in order to explore and align the psycho-emotional components of these postures.
As well we will incorporate aspects of Shakti Yoga dance flows to awaken the inner juiciness that will make our backbends shine.

Arm and Hand Balancing & Tap Into The Gap
May 01, 2010 - May 02, 2010
10:00AM - 4:00PM

ARM AND HAND BALANCING & TAP INTO THE GAP - 10 Hours
Co-taught by Cynthia Funk, Karen Cove and Deborah Whipple

Saturday, May 1- 10:00am-12:30pm & 1:30pm-4:00pm
Sunday, May 2 - 10:00am-12:30pm & 1:30pm-4:00pm


This module will focus on both self-practice and the art of refining communication on how to teach the more advanced and challenging arm and hand balances. Tuning into the anatomical details of the shoulder girdle, arms, wrists and hands. Together we will learn to balance the weight of our bodies on our hands, while learning techniques for doing this safely. We will encourage our students to feel just as confident while standing on their hands as on their two feet. We will fly upside down to the sky!

Meet every new moment on the mat! Focusing on authentic expression and creative movement, we will learn how to feel and be yoga, rather than "do" yoga. We will learn to let the practice evolve out of a deeper sense of embodied consciousness as old ideas dissolve making room for the ancient bliss of freedom yoga to move us in an ever evolving and fresh experience.

Let's explore our habituated ideas and fine tune our awareness as we tap into the gap between what is and what should be - between the program and the potential.
