Top 20 Poses for Optimal Health will provide you will the alignment confidence you crave to deepen your asana practice at home or with your favourite teacher. All yoga asanas (poses) are dynamic and have their own unique personality.

In this workshop we will examine 20 Top asanas that will assist you in breaking down and then building up your practice. We will work through a series of essential standing, twisting, forward extending, backwards extending and inverted postures towards maximizing health and understanding of proper alignment and biomechanics of the body. You will learn how to insert a prop as needed and how to read the information the prop is giving to you. Alignment cues and techniques will be provided as you work through these Top 20 poses to glean the benefits of a deep, safe and robust asana practice.

In this Workshop you Will Learn: 

-to tune into the body’s natural ways of movement for safer practice
-when and how to use props to support a deeper experience
