Intelligent Alignment: Move with Awareness, Practice with Precision
Intelligent Alignment: Move with Awareness, Practice with Precision
This workshop explores the principles of intelligent alignment to create a safe, sustainable, and more effective yoga practice. Rather than forcing the body into shapes, you'll learn how to use alignment, stability, and mindful awareness to move efficiently and with greater ease. Drawing inspiration from the Iyengar tradition while remaining accessible to all practitioners, this session focuses on understanding why we practise in certain ways—not just how. Whether you're looking to refine your practice, prevent injuries, or deepen your understanding of asana, this workshop offers practical tools you can immediately apply.
