Yoga Alignment: Myths, Misconceptions, and Missed Opportunities
Is there a right and wrong way to do a pose? Are you confused by conflicting alignment cues? Unsure of when and if to tuck your tailbone or rotate your shoulders? In this workshop for teachers and inquisitive students, you will learn how to practise and teach yoga asana informed by contemporary understanding of alignment and anatomy, applied to your unique body and intentions. We will learn how to avoid confusion on the mat and experience the exciting possibilities that emerge when we let go of alignment absolutes and yoga dogma.
Through a one-hour practice and one-hour discussion, we will learn:
• how to open up new alignment options for the most common of standing poses such as downward-facing dog, triangle pose, revolved triangle pose, wheel pose, and other confusing favourites
• how to practise and teach with adaptable anchors of stability and alignment from which range of motion and individual pose expression can be explored
• how to explore the intentions of postures, and methods to work with internal and external goals
