Many different asanas have certain common patterns. We'll take some complicated poses and deconstruct them using consistent yoga principles so that you can discover how to teach any body any pose— without causing stress or injury. We'll also look at how to create beginner sequences that will lead toward more-advanced poses. Bring a block, belt, and blanket. **This class has been approved by American Council on Exercise (ACE) for 0.2 CECs.**

Svadyaya, or self-study, shows us that all actions have results, beginning with our thoughts. Since the breath is the horse and the mind is the rider, we'll begin with mindful pranayama. Our calm internal environment will then provide the ground to step into asana—and life—with awareness and kindness. Meditation, pranayama, and asana. **This class has been approved by American Council on Exercise (ACE) for 0.2 CECs.**

Working from the sole of the foot upward develops our practice. Moving from the crown downward purifies it. Through dynamic sequences involving the leg shushumna, powerful twists, and throat openers, our prana will rise—creating strength and confidence. Inversions will begin our path down the spine through a cleansing earthward-moving sequence. Mostly asana. **This class has been approved by American Council on Exercise (ACE) for 0.2 CECs.**
