In Part 2 of this workshop we will focus on backbends with shoulder extension (i.e. Dhanurasana/Bow). This workshop will have a similar format to Part 1 and can be done separately or in conjunction with the previous workshop. We will discuss the differences between the two categories of backbends in preparation for our physical practice. All levels of experience are welcome!

In this workshop you can expect to work on the following poses/skills and more:

• Dhanurasana (Bow)
• Ustrasana (Camel)
• Salabhasana variations
• Basic anatomy of backbends with shoulder extension
• Effective ways of opening the shoulders for these kinds of backbends
  
  

About Alissa:
This practice has changed my life in a very profound way and continues to shape how I live each day. It has taught me how to make space, especially when life feels overwhelming. My asana practice has helped me develop the physical strength to tackle everyday struggles, and perhaps most importantly, it has taught me to be kind to myself. The physical practice might look and feel different from day to day, but the ability to dedicate yourself to something and be consistent in its practice is what makes a lasting difference.

I first discovered yoga in 2010 while pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles; However, it soon became clear it was not my true life passion. In 2012 I completed my 200 hour training at Back Bay Yoga shortly after moving back to Boston, and started teaching right away. As a student it is my priority to continue educating myself through home practice, self study, and of course training with senior teachers whenever possible. As your teacher, I will teach you and I will challenge you by encouraging discipline as well as patience with yourself. My greatest hope is that you learn something every time you walk in to my class.

Winter in New England can be hard on our bodies and minds, the cold can cause us to coil in and put up a protective layer, causing our energy to go stagnant. Join Chelsey as she takes you through wave-like motions and whole-body flows to help you unfurl and release stuck energy.

You can expect a class full of smooth transitions that will help you fall more in love with the present moment. In this vinysa flow class we will focus on shoulder mobility and hip opening where stagnant energy tends to build up. The practice will integrate empowering breathwork, heat-building standing poses enhanced by guided visualization, twists, side-plank variations, balance-boosting poses (including eagle and side crow), and more.

You will leave knowing on a bone deep-level simple, sweet and sacred movements that you can take home into your own practice.
