Foundations

 

DSC_0156

This week’s class theme will focus on the foundations of poses.  This means working with gravity from the ground up to discover the correct placement of both the hands and the feet, and so discovering a new quality and alignment to poses.

‘…as your feet ground through gravity, they stabilize you and allow freedom in the spine…’ Vanda Scaravelli

 

 




Where you are in the pose is the pose for you…

Keep in mind that poses are not destinations, nor are they strange contortions to force yourself into for some esoteric purpose.  They are part of an ongoing process of self-exploration and self-healing.  Each individual pose is a map into a specific area of yourself, and where you are in the pose is the pose for you.  Erich Schiffmann
