Ashtanga is a practice that uses the body as a vehicle to explore subtle energies. This workshop will introduce the five vayus, and explore ways to recruit grounding (apana) and expansive energy (prana) to deepen your practice. Apana is accessed in the pelvis by engagement of mula bandha, or the root lock. This anchoring is what enables us to float and fly and be steady in standing poses, as well as standing on our hands. Once stable in the downward moving energy of apana, prana; or upward flowing energy can be cultivated. Back bends affect the energy body by purifying the nadis, opening the chakras, and increasing prana or upward flowing energy. Back bending asanas expand prana, energizing the body and opening the heart while building strength and suppleness in the spine, legs and shoulders. Join us for this well-rounded practice journey!
