Steady & Comfortable With Janet Macleod

Sage Patanjali describes Asana as follows: Sthira sukhum asanam ; it should be steady and comfortable. Karmendriyas are organs of action of which the legs and arms are a part. Janet will encourage intelligent use of the four limbs to support and shape the body allowing students to experience both effort and ease.

Class Descriptions

Friday, Oct 6 5:00-7:00 pm

Forward Bends-The nature of Forward Bends is that they teach us about receptivity. In order to get a deeper sense of that feeling, the appropriate opening is required in all areas of the hips. The session will begin with appropriate preparatory asanas.

Saturday, Oct 7 10:30 am-1:00 pm

Standing- These asanas teach confidence – learning to stand on your own two feet. Using Tadasana to inform other standings you will get a more profound sense of this.

Saturday, Oct 7 3:00-5:00 pm

Inversions & Pranayama- In this class you will enjoy the more subtle aspects and effects of inversion practice that then prepare you to move into Pranayama, which is the entry into the more meditative aspect of the 8 limbs of yoga.

Sunday, Oct 8 10:00 am-12:30 pm

Backbending – In these asanas students often suffer from lower back compression. Groin opening Asanas will be presented prior to backbends so that the students will have access to the strength of the legs.
