Yoga Philosophy - Study of the 3rd, 4th and 5th limbs of Yoga ~ Asana, Pranayama and Pratyahara (Posture, Breath, and Sense withdrawal)

Asana Practice

Here we increase the challenge element. Longer holding of poses and working into more challenging standing and floor postures. Here we break down the shoulder/arm rotation inherent in the One Leg King Pigeon and full Natarajasana using straps to make it possible for all. Also and in depth exploration of the backbend and in hip opening for lotus posture.

Sunday 3 hours 8am-8:30am (Meditation) 8:30am-11:30am(Practice)

Yoga Philosophy - Study of the 6th, 7th and 8th limbs of Yoga ~ Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi (Concentration, Meditation, and Absorption)

Asana Practice

In this class we increase the challenge even more according to what the groups' capability is. We work and strong vinyasa sequence incorporating the postures we explored the previous two days. We also include an inversion workshop for headstand, forearm balance and handstanding. We partner up for a few of the poses yet still maintain and strong heat throughout. I ask at the beginning what each person would like to work on and try to incorporate this as well. Toward the end of the class we slow it down and work more of a Yin style deep practice to cool down and segue into a short meditation.

Kick off the Summer with Juice and Jesse! After the 5:45pm pilates class in Iowa City this Friday, May 21.
