The Architecture of Asana: Healthy Alignment for a Sustainable Practice

Service Description

This immersive 4-hour workshop is designed for dedicated yoga practitioners who want to understand how poses truly work in the body, supporting strength, ease, and longevity rather than chasing perfect shapes. Through slow, intentional exploration, we will break down foundational postures including Downward Dog, the Warrior series, Chair Pose, Child’s Pose, and Chaturanga, alongside transitions and complementary poses. The workshop emphasizes intelligent effort, adaptability, and conscious rest, helping you develop a deeper, sustainable relationship with your practice. What you’ll learn and explore: • How to find alignment that supports your joints, muscles, and breath in every pose • Ways to cultivate strength without tension, and stability without rigidity • Techniques for safe, supportive variations of poses to meet your body’s needs • How to sense effort versus strain, and when to rest or modify • Methods to integrate alignment principles into transitions and full sequences • Tools to maintain a sustainable, long-term practice that honors your body This workshop is thoughtful, slow, and deeply embodied. You’ll leave with practical tools, increased awareness of your body’s needs, and a take-home guide to support ongoing, mindful practice. Suitable for committed practitioners of all levels, no teaching experience required.
