Understanding the Standing Series
 

Join ashtanga teacher, Joanna Darlington, for this afternoon of investigation into the
power of the standing series. This workshop will focus on the development of
muscular awareness and energetic alignment for such essential asanas as
trikonasana (triangle pose) and virabhadrasana (warrior pose). From the position of
your feet, to the orientation of your pelvis you will learn to properly lengthen the
legs, creating a stability and strength that will continue to inform your movements.
The understanding of these positions is key in developing flexibility for the entirety
of your practice and will give you information to explore throughout.

$20 before October 15th, $25 after October 15th or at the door.
