Vinyasa Fundamentals Series

atha yoga-anuśāsanam
Now, after having done prior preparation through life and other practices, the study and practice of Yoga begins.
When we practice a yoga posture, we are aligning our bodies in a specific way to activate a specific reaction in our body. This reaction could be physical - extending your arms to create an extension through your torso , breath-based - an inhale at a specific point in a pose to create lift, or even energetic - focusing your gaze at one point to still the mind. We will cover this, and more, in this 5-part series on vinyasa foundations that is perfect for yogis of all levels who are looking to go deeper in their practice in a small-class setting. Ask Amanda questions, get modifications, and feel confident on your mat! You will be able to apply what you learn in your Bikram, yin, and power classes too!
- Class 1 - Salutes to the Sun: The foundation of the flow practice, Sun Salutations A & B. We will break down the postures and go over the proper breathing, alignment, gaze, modifications, and more.
- Class 2 - Grow Roots In your Standing Poses: Our goal will be to establish a strong connection to our feet (and our lower chakras) so that we can be stable and comfortable in our more advanced postures. Expect to discover warriors, triangle variations, twists, and some forward folds.
- Class 3 - Floor Series (Forward Bends): Forward bending can be one of the most therapeutic and calming exercises that we can do for our central nervous system. These poses can help us focus our energy in a more quiet way than in the standing series. Janu, Marichis, and an arm balance or two will be on the menu.
- Class 4 - Floor Series (Backward Bends): Vinyasa offers us some new opportunities to build spinal intelligence in our practice. We will learn about the different parts of the spine, how to move, where to breathe, and how to develop mental clarity in the pose. All levels welcome, modifications will be available to help you chart a course to more advanced variations.
- Class 5 - Mantra, Pranayama, and the Next Steps: Asana is only 1 limb of the 8-limbed yogic system. Pranayama, or the control and expansion of the breath, is the next limb, and is the natural progression for all yogis. Mantra - literally a “mind tool” - is a type of pranayama that focuses the mind, sharpens our intention, and clarifies our energy.
Come and learn about these in an approachable, no-pressure setting! Bio for Amanda: For me, yoga is a way to get back to my “original factory settings.” I started my yoga practice to lose weight, but in the process, I began to refine my mind and heal and strengthen my body. I felt younger and better, fundamentally. It is my hope to guide you towards this goal too, so that you can learn tools to help you be the best “you” shape possible. I love hearing success stories, share yours with me the next time you see me! Full payment is required to reserve a space in workshops. All workshops are non-refundable. Cancellations made two weeks or more prior to workshop start date will be issued store credit. No store credit will be given for cancellations made less than two weeks prior to workshop start date.

Like all of our various bits and pieces they are unique and have the potential of balance and imbalance. In each Meta Anatomy workshop we will immerse ourselves in a gross anatomical lecture. What makes these workshops so unique is that each day will also include self care techniques, poetic energetic correlations and a fulfilling therapeutic asana/meditation class that weaves it all together. Cost: $150 for the series or $55 for each workshop. Continuing education units (CE) of Anatomy & Physiology are available for yoga teachers upon successful completion and per request.
