The first hour will focus on identifying where and how our bodies respond to force in yoga poses without yoga props. Based on our discoveries, we’ll follow with a restorative yoga therapy practice that provides strategic prop support in poses that mimic classic standing, back bending, twisting, forward bending, and inverting while meeting individual needs and a thematic purpose.

standing posture

Can you see how much ‘work’ is involved to be in tadasana (mountain pose) look at your postureor close to the posture on the top left.  Each one of us starts with one of, or a variation of one of these postures and brings it into whatever we do. Perhaps one of the greatest gifts or benefits of yoga is that it  cultivates awareness of our habits to see what we are doing repeatedly to maintain this posture.  Once we start working towards our own balance through our practices it becomes yoga therapy .
