Introductory Pranayama in the Iyengar Tradition
Weekly on Thursdays
Beginning March 3, 2022
10:30am - 11:30am
Join Yoga Cville and guest instructor, Joe Adlesic, for a weekly exploration of introductory yogic breathing practices within the Iyengar yoga structure.
Asana practice creates a foundation for pranayama through understanding precision in alignment/openness in the ribs and chest, awareness of involuntary breathing, and learning to relax deeply in savasana.
This then allows students to begin practicing/exploring the more subtle aspects of regulating breathing through introductory pranayama practices.
These pranayama practices have a wide range of effects along the body - mind spectrum: physically - soothing/relaxing, emotionally - calming/comforting and state of mind - focused/alert and quiet/open.
REQUIRED PROPS:
Introductory Iyengar pranayama practices are all done lying down with particular ways of using folded blankets under the back and head to create a relaxed/passive openness in the ribs and chest.
PRE-REQUISITE:
Minimum one-year prior Iyengar asana experience/study.
DETAILS:
Time: 10:30am - 11:30am (60-minutes)
Zoom only attendance
