This module will take postural “alignment” to a deeper dimension, beyond the physical shapes and structure and into a realm of energy, metaphors, creativity, therapy and healing. The postures (asanas) are the embodiment of life; love, faith, joy, fear, shame, guilt etc. This weekend will approach the practice of Asana as a celebration of the human body; all shapes, sizes and ages. Special attention will be given to those postures with therapeutic application and their modifications as we apply the anatomical and energetic knowledge from the previous modules. Students will also gain an understanding of each asanas metaphysical significance and how this information can be used to support the healing process. Precautions, contraindications, physical benefits, props and variations will be discussed and practiced in great detail.
