Berkeley, California – Yoga Physiology, Anatomy, Teaching and Practice SkillsSeptember 21-23, 2012

roger — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:51:29 +0000

Deepen your understanding, hone your abilities, and have a great practice experience. Learn to see, adjust, bend, invert, and relax more fully.

You may sign up for the whole series or for individual sessions.

Friday
Observing and Adjusting Asana 11:00 – 1:00
Learn core principles of alignment and observation so you can see when a student’s pose could benefit from adjustments, then learn how to make the adjustments safely and effectively, using words, visual guidance, hands or props. This class provides essential training that every yoga teacher should have. It’s also valuable for non-teachers who wish to refine and deepen their asana practice.

Breathing: Physiology and Practice 2:30 – 5:30
This class will teach you the basics of breathing science, and how to use it to make your pranayama and everyday life better. We will review respiration from the molecular level up to effects on consciousness. You will learn and practice breathing “mechanics” and physiology from a yoga perspective.

Saturday
Backbends: Anatomy and Practice 11:00 – 2:00
Improve and deepen your backbends by understanding the anatomy of the hips, spine, trunk and shoulders, and applying it to a thorough backbends practice.

Inversions: Physiology and Practice 4:00 – 7:00
When you turn upside-down, your physiology changes dramatically. Your blood pressure, heart beat, circulation, breathing, hormones, and brain activity are all affected. Learn what happens, how it works, and how to use it to get the most out of your practice of both head-up and head-down postures. Alternative postures will be offered for those who cannot practice full inversions.

Sunday
Relaxation: Physiology and Practice 1:00 – 4:00
The ancient yogis developed ingenious ways to produce profound relaxation by triggering reflexes that we are all born with. Learn the physiology that makes restorative yoga postures so remarkably effective, then put it to use in a long, deep relaxation practice.

La Jolla, California – Winter Restorative Yoga SessionsEvery Monday January 2 through March 26, 2012

roger — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:52:27 +0000

Restorative yoga is incredibly relaxing. In each class, you rest in a series of extraordinarily comfortable, prop-supported postures specially designed to ease your body and mind into a state of deep physical and mental calm. Roger will use his expert knowledge as a physiologist and Iyengar yoga teacher to help you get the most out of each pose. Students of all levels are welcome. Wear warm, loose clothing, including socks. Props are provided, but if possible, please bring a small towel and an eye mask, eye pillow, or cloth bandage to cover your eyes.

Special touch added to this series : Every class is a deeply relaxing and restorative class for body and mind overall, and each one has the added benefit of going deeper into restoring a particular part of the body or addressing a particular issue, such as difficulty falling asleep, low back tension, neck/shoulder tension, etc.

Mondays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Jan 2 to Mar 26, 2012
$25 per class or $100 for five classes
Drop-ins welcome
