Explore the dynamic equilibrium of the skull in yoga, meditation, and asana practice. We'll discuss the jaw, tongue, inner ear, sagittal suture, and fontanelles, and will examine their importance in releasing cranial compression. We'll review conditions such as migraine headaches, insomnia, and TMJ, which can be caused by cranial compression. Includes inversions, forward bends, and twists. For yoga teachers, manual therapists, and experienced yoga practitioners.

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, this class shows you how to release the sides of the body so that the interior can open. Sidebends and twists. Mostly asana.

Explore the anatomical and spiritual center of the brain. Through asana and meditation, we'll practice quieting the mind while bringing greater wakefulness to the heart. Through light backbends and visualization practices, we can build resonance between the heart center and the cranial center to cultivate wisdom and compassion. Asana and meditation practice.

The front of the back holds the deepest and most core structures of the body: the iliopsoas, the kidneys, and the respiratory diaphragm. This class investigates ways to stretch and strengthen these areas to be more spacious, open, and lifted along the front of the back. Discussion and asana.

Code: M5LITT
All Levels, Therapeutic
The most important muscle used to stabilize the low back is called the quadratus lumborum. A foreshortened QL can pull the ribs out of place, create scoliosis in the spine, and cause the pelvis to jack upward. Many people with lower-back pain have a tight QL. We'll investigate this key structure and practice a sequence of poses- mainly front bends, sidebends, and front-bend and sidebend hybrids- designed to free restrictions there. Discussion and asana.
