Advanced Asana
“Advanced Asana” doesn’t mean hollowback handstands, it means having function, freedom, and awareness in the ways we move. An advanced practice isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about cultivating deeper purpose and intention in our postures and transitions. Even child’s pose can be advanced!
A downward facing dog can hold all of our unconscious habits, or it can hold the archetypal potential of our truest self. Should you do a pose based on how you feel or based on alignment? How much should you bend your knees in a forward bend? What should I do with my back leg in a lunge? Should I tuck my toes in camel pose? We’ll explore all of this and so much more.
We’ll look at the bigger picture. Backbends open the frame for the lungs, forward bends help flush the kidneys, props offer scaffolding, adjustments offer new perspective, and breath invites the imagination. Yoga Asana isn’t just movement; it’s the embodiment of theory through practice. Our time on the mat is a metaphor for rest of our lives. An advanced practice transforms unconsciousness into consciousness, which changes everything.
Expect interesting dialogue, intentional practices, real-time feedback, effective adjustments, creative use of props, and time for Q&A. You’ll refine your practice, discover new approaches to familiar poses, and find joy through communal practice. We’ll break down alignment, transitions, techniques, and the reasons why we do what we do.
