Seeing and Understanding Bodies

As a teacher or serious student, it is necessary to focus on the physical alignment of individual parts of a (the student’s) body relative to other parts. Refinement of teaching and practicing comes by developing the ability to see a body as a unified whole, to dicern where energy is flowing and where it is blocked, and knowing what adjustments to make to balance the pose. This class will focus on asana, the sience of ‘looking’, the art of ‘seeing’, and the means to improve the pose, including physical adjustments. We see with our heart, our senses as well as with our eyes, Aadil shares concrete techniques to craft, teach and keep your yourself and students safe, healthy and inspired. Enjoy this special class, no matter what style of yoga you teach or practice.

Strength, Poise and Balance in Inversions

Strengt, poise and balance in inversions gives us am opportunity to reverse the aging process as well as to mix the flows of the prana and apana to create internal strenght and longevity. However, asana must be done with a focused alignment and an understanding of the correct muscles so that there is no long-term injury. It takes years of correct practice to cultivate the right muscles to develop strength, poise and balance to do inversions safely. Aadil will give you the tools to undo damage caused by poor alignment and teach you the techniques for a safe and strong practice.

Standing poses form the foundation of asana practice. When there is alignment in these poses with proper intention, they leave the practitioner full of vitality.

In this class, Aadil will teach standing poses to strengthen the legs, energize the pelvis, enliven the body and cultivate your personal power and that of your students and the ability to take progressive action in life.
