Zoom
Via Zoom Expand and refine your yoga practice with the Alexander Technique! This online series of four AT-based yoga classes is designed to build an easeful and connecting experience of one of the most appreciated and challenging of yoga poses: the downward facing dog. We will methodically prepare the hips, shoulders, ankles, torso, and diaphragms of the body toward an embodied integration of this foundational yoga pose. We will explore the application of Alexander Technique’s position of mechanical advantage and hands-on-the-back-of-the-chair to fully activate the dynamic support necessary for a balanced downward facing dog. Some familiarity with Alexander Technique and yoga is helpful but not necessary. Props needed for the classes include the following: a yoga belt bolster or pillows (at least one large yoga bolster or two pillows) two hand towels large bath towel book(s) for constructive rest/semi-supine a sturdy folding chair or similar chair with a back. (The chair will be an essential prop for the class.) Please email me ahead of time to provide information about injuries or conditions that may require additional, individualized attention or props during the classes. Also, please email me if you have questions about the chair needed for this class: vanessa.justice@studioalexandertechnique.com
Wednesdays: May 10, 17, 24, & 31 12:30 – 1:30pm Enrollment Limited to 10 Sign up deadline May 8 Class fee: $65 for the 4 class series
