Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar is one of the foremost guides on the practice of asana. There are many little golden nuggets hidden in this book that can be excavated with study and time. We will dive deeper into understanding how to use Light on Yoga for personal practice and pose refinement, as well as sequencing and teaching classes. Please bring a notebook, a camera and a copy of Light on Yoga if you have one. Morning workshop: One of the translations of the Sanskrit word Vinyasa is to place in a special way. We will explore stepping into the practice of Vinyasa, or flow, with intelligence, integrity and playfulness. Practice will invite us into a range of poses including inversions, arm balances and backbends. Bring an open mind, a free spirit and a towel. Afternoon workshop: When we think of hip openers, we often only consider one or two parts of the hip joint. We will explore tapping into the different areas that comprise the hip joints using longer holds and props. Practice will include pranayama and meditation.
