**This class is suitable for those with 6 months or more of yoga experience**
"Penetration of our mind is our goal, but in the beginning to set things in motion, there is no substitute for sweat." BKS Iyengar
BKS Iyengar created a style of yoga that incorporates the use of props to help align the body by 'bringing the floor up to greet you where you are at.' In doing so, the student gets to experience the Asana (Pose) without the struggle or gripping in 'doing of the pose' but rather experiences 'Being in the Pose.' This style of Yoga eventually allows the student to gain strength through muscle action in combination with stilling of the mind. One of Iyengar's genius 'props' is the Yoga Wall Rope System. Yoga Wall Ropes add traction and length to a Pose (Asana). They offer more freedom and balance in the pose in a way that aligns the spine and fires up the muscle action suggested for that Pose, which then allows a sense of lightness and freedom to internally explore the shift that can occur from Yogasana. The end result is AMAZING!
In today's class, we will explore the Yoga Rope Wall system at a basic level and within a well-rounded Himalayan based sequence. The stagnant energy will be released as the body will be opened! Supine, Seated, Standing, Forward Bending, Backbending, Twists and Inversions will be explored, with variations offered for those in attendance. The challenge will lie within the Student to explore those Asanas while 'trusting' the ropes. As always, class will end with a delicious Guided Shavasana (Yoga Nidra)!
A playful attitude is a pre-requisite!
