Practice Makes Progress: October 25-27
PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS:
Three days of asana, energy & fun!
with Mark Nelson
Are there parts of your practice you wish you could improve? Maybe you feel good about balancing poses, but you'd like to work on your back bends. Are tight hips and hamstrings a fact of life you'd like to work on? Or have you always wanted to get upside down in an arm balance, but don't know where to start?
Welcome to Practice Makes Progress! We’ll spend three days moving through a full range of asana and discovering techniques to keep you focused and motivated as you take your new insights back to your daily life.
We’ll explore how to move with stability, mobility and flexibility in all areas of the body:
Stability: Create a firm foundation physically and energetically.
Mobility: Range of motion through detailed alignment.
Flexibility: Learn techniques to release tight muscles.
We’ll look at eye-opening ways to direct the energy of our bodies:
Bandhas: Areas of focus within our bodies to move powerfully.
Vayus: Techniques for directing the energy of our movement.
Koshas: Levels of awareness from outside to inward.
Part asana workshop, part playful experiment, every person in the group will be able to work at their own level with their own goals in mind. We’ll explore balancing poses, back bends, shoulder openers, inversions, hip openers and hamstring stretches. And all of it will be at your own level.
This is a unique opportunity to try new approaches to your practice in a fun, inspiring, supportive setting. Grab your mat, invite a friend, and see what kind of progress your practice can make!
