The Art of Alignment

Asana at its best creates energetic integration and containment. In practice this integration optimizes function and awareness, and minimizes possibility of injury, stress, and discomfort. At the energetic level, improper alignment creates either congestion or pranic “leaks,” and blocks the optimal range of movement in the joints. In this workshop, we’ll explore alignment for several categories of poses, and see how to create connection, containment, and stability.
