Description:
This foundational workshop is designed to introduce you to the PranaVayu system of alignment through an energetic combination of daily yoga practice, partner exercises and experiential lectures led by David Magone.
PranaVayu Yoga has a unique theory of alignment based on skeletal positioning. Derived from simple mechanical principles, this unique method can be learned over the course of a weekend and provides a short-hand method for teachers and students to deepen their yoga practice as well as conceptualize and communicate efficiently the positioning of truly any yoga posture. In our experience, the PranaVayu Core System of Alignment™ can drastically increase range of motion in the matter of a single practice.
Over the course of this intensive, you will learn the following concepts and integrate them into two daily yoga practices:
- The benefits of efficient skeletal positioning
- 9 sections of the skeletal structure that can be used to position your yoga postures quickly and easily
- Universal movement principles that can be used to instantaneously develop greater range of motion in backbends, forward folds, side bends and twists
- How to use our system of alignment for injury prevention
