$295 early bird before June 15th.  $345 thereafter

One of the primary goals of yoga is to create stability. To bring balance to a traditional yoga practice, experienced yoga students can benefit from adding a strength building focus to increase stability and reduce the risk of injury. Learn how to incorporate natural movement into your yoga practice to become stronger, stabilize your joints and support a full range of functional movement. You will discover that as your range of motion increases from yoga, developing strength from natural movement will support that greater flexibility and improve stability.

• The key natural movements that are valuable to add to your daily yoga practice.
• The importance of ground movement for building hip, core and shoulder strength.
• How to incorporate multidirectional movement to support joint health.
• To improve your balance using a slightly raised height (2x4 beam).
• Transitions to get you up and down from the ground without using your hands (alternatives to down dog and “do a vinyasa”)
• The principles of neurodevelopmental sequencing that can provide a logical progression of movement strategies.
• What yoga philosophy teaches us about strength and stability.
• How breathing supports steadiness in movement, posture and relaxation.
• How to integrate techniques from other mindful modalities and make them yoga.
