Yoga Deconstructed®
Creative, preparatory exercises to modernize your practice and improve your teaching.
YOGA DECONSTRUCTED® IS A DYNAMIC EXPANSION OF TRADITIONAL ASANA.
Learn how to master challenging yoga poses by investigating what is happening joint by joint in all planes of motion. These classes will take you on a creative journey filled with endless, playful, and purposeful possibilities.
Yoga Deconstructed® incorporates preparatory exercise, somatics, and modern movement science to help you and your students stay injury-free and improve strength, mobility, and coordination.
BY INCORPORATING VARIABILITY, YOU CAN FREE YOURSELF FROM THE “AUTOPILOT BOX” THAT MANY TRADITIONAL PRACTICES RELY ON.
ELEVATE YOUR TEACHING AND LEARN HOW TO LEAD CLASSES THAT GO BEYOND THE ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL YOGA POSE PARADIGM.
These classes will help you:
Demystify the inner layers of your body to reveal the infrastructure of asana.
Arm yourself with the knowledge to heal by uncovering kinesthetic “clues” about your daily movement that could be creating pain.
Prevent repetitive stress injuries by adding strength and stability components within familiar yoga poses.
Explore multiple dimensions of movement in a joyful & integrated manner.
Awaken new kinetic chains and master an internal portrait of your body.
Improve your flexibility without sacrificing stability.
