The Posture Factory

Get it Right – Shake up Your Practice

Improve Alignment and Technique, Build Depth

Sunday 24th February, 10.00 am – 4.00 pm

Kenilworth Community Care Centre, 65 Waverley Road, Kenilworth

This will be an excellent opportunity to move your practice forward, by gaining a deeper understanding of the objectives and the techniques behind the postures. It will also enable you to get more out of the classes you attend. The workshop will be suitable for those with at least 3 months experience of Ashtanga / Free Flow Yoga.

We will work through and around the Primary Series, examining each Asana group in terms of correct entry and exit, alignment, building depth and flow. We will also explore some ‘substitute’ postures, modified to suit personal needs and abilities, and take a look at some poses from the Second Series and other yoga styles.

We will work slower than in a normal class setting, so it will not be too demanding.
