Aniya means creative. This three part workshop aims at bringing the creative spirit to your asana practice. The goal is to solidify the intention of movement in your practice. We will do this by asking first and foremost what does this posture mean and why do I do it? We will look for answers in the physical body and the energetic body, as well the spiritual and historical context of the posture. In this class we will chant Kirtan songs, hear stories of the traditional yogi gods and goddesses while moving our bodies in an Asana practice.
With a creative spirit our intention is to consolidate all this information with one’s own personal needs, creating a practice that is unique to you – leading us to the “Big” question – Who am I? What does my practice mean to me?
In this workshop you will learn:
– How chanting/singing/affirmations can be a breathing technique as well as a tool to invoke intention into your practice
– To create an Asana practice that is yours and a wonderful work of art!
– The energetic intentions of Asana with the context of basic anatomy
– A spiritual and historical view of select poses
Some yoga experience would be helpful but is not a requirement. You may want to take notes, but also be ready to move, the studio is well equipped but bring what you like to have for a typical yoga class.
