The inner leg gives access to the front of the spine and holds the life force of our deep reserve. Due to excess fatigue and stress, this area is typically tight, weak, or collapsed. Through dynamic and restorative postures, we'll open these channels and investigate the inner leg from the perspective of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines. Discussion and asana.

Discover the importance of the inner arm as the gateway to opening the lungs.

Discussion and asana.



The Front of the Back
Instructor: Tias Little

The front of the back holds the deepest and most-core structures of the body: the iliopsoas, the kidneys, and the respiratory diaphragm. We'll investigate Uddiyana Bandha (Upward Abdominal Lock) and ways to stretch and strengthen the abdomen to be more spacious, open, and lifted along the front of the back. Discussion and asana.



Sacred Feet
Instructor: Tias Little

3:30pm-5:30pm: Session 3
Code: M3LITT
all levels, therapeutic


The feet are the foundation of the temple of the body. Learn how to activate your feet to help align your knees, pelvis, and low back. We'll study the architecture of the foot, learn how to use yoga postures to strengthen and realign its parts, and explore the vital points within the foot according to both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines. Discussion and asana.



Sideways
Instructor: Tias Little
Sunday, March 29
8:00am-10:00am: Session 4
Code: M4LITT
all levels


Freeing your side body in yoga is key to opening your core. If the side body is hemmed and bound, then the inner body has no room to expand and open. Beginning at the outer heel and moving along the outer leg, waist, trunk, neck, and skull, you'll learn how to release the sides of the body so that the interior can open. Sidebends and twists. Mostly asana.



The Sacred Sacrum
Instructor: Tias Little
Sunday, March 29
10:30am-12:30pm: Session 5
Code: M5LITT
all levels


The sacral bone is the key bone of the pelvis and the spine. Postural balance and centering occurs at the sacral level (svadhisthana, the second chakra), and the sacrum initiates the strong centering movement of the tailbone (Mula Bandha, or Root Lock). Discover the powerful ligaments and muscles that hold the sacrum in place, as we practice postures that balance the sacrum. Discussion and asana.
