Many of us first studied the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali during our original teacher training. That first time through can be a bit overwhelming and more than a little confusing. However, one of the most amazing things about the Sūtras is that we learn a bit more in each subsequent study.In this in-depth examination, we will approach the Sūtras through more experienced eyes. This session will include extensive discussion that, hopefully, will allow a more nuanced reading of Patañjali's work, helping to find a more relevant application to the life we live today.

Utilizing the Wall for alignment for new students, beyond the “usual” basics (i.e. trikonasana, ardha chandrasana) to deepen the experience for advanced practitioners, and to offer options for differently-abled students. This will be done through demonstration and practice, as well as practice assists on each other.
In order to better understand
the history of our modern hatha yoga practice, we will discuss,
and, where appropriate, practice the techniques as taught in the
Hatha Yoga
Pradīpikā.

After
a review of major joints, we will, through demonstration and then
by practice on each other, learn advanced techniques to assist
students’ experience of postures. While most of the assists taught
in the 200-hour focus on alignment strictly for safety, this
intensive will focus on deepening students in postures, assessing
when it’s appropriate to do so, and practicing how to get both
permission and feedback from students for this type of
assist.
