Join virtually or at the studio for Gwi-Seok's September 19th workshop, 12:30-3 pm ET

The stress of modernity affects every one of us, and we all seek and value mental and emotional health. Yogāsana provides one of the fastest, most efficient ways to regulate the nervous system, whether we need to infuse ourselves with energy, or slow down and rest.

In this workshop, we will directly link poses with their neurological effects, and learn ways to bring greater balance, energy, ease, and rest to our daily lives. As we regulate our own nervous systems, our communities will also benefit.

Open to seasoned Iyengar Yoga practitioners.

Here’s a forward bend week sequence to keep you inspired in home practice while the studio slows down this August for a much needed teacher break.

Start with standing asana to engage the legs and lift the spine. Work on the concave back versions of each forward bend asana first before making your way towards full extension. This will help to continue lengthening the spine and the front body as well as engage the back body. This sequence has the option to include some inversions if you are working on them at home, however you can replace sirsasana with an extra adho mukha svanasana and salamba sarvangasana with setubandha sarvangasana if not practicing inversions.

Let us know how your practice is going and remember to check out the weekly open practice at the studio on Friday mornings!

Mark your calendars for May 2 and 3! Gei-Seok will be teaching a 2.5 hr workshop on Sat, May 2 and a 2 hr intermediate class on Sun, May 3.

Workshop description: In Iyengar Yoga, we learn to experience the body as both a concrete physical entity AND also a vessel of subtle awareness and consciousness.

Āsana can be a powerful practice for developing and applying this awareness. As both “wave and particle,” we can learn to access the full healing and transformative potential of the poses.

This workshop is appropriate for seasoned practitioners with at least 6 months of Iyengar Yoga study. Online, with an option to take the workshop in person, online, from IYDC. Register at iyengaryogadetroit.com.
