Engaging the Bandhas: Core Foundation

Engaging the Bandhas: Core Foundation
Saturday, July 19
2-4pm
Uptown Studio

Whether your looking to press into a handstand, or to maintain a healthy yoga practice until you're 105, it's all about the Bandhas! In Sanskrit, "Bandha" means to lock, hold, or tighten. When practiced with the breath, bandhas enable you to hold postures longer and safer.

Join Naomi for this workshop to learn how to engage and maintain strength in the pelvic floor and the deepest abdominal muscles - the Mula Bandha and the Udiyana Bandha. These core activation techniques are key to finding stability in our internal muscular structure, which is beneficial in supporting and protecting the spine and highly effective to maintaining lightness in postures.

Working with the breath to ignite this internal power, we will explore how to activate the bandhas, keep the lumbar spine safe, as well as how to find lightness during various "float-through" transitions and and balance in basic arm balances like Crow, Firefly, and Scale pose.

This workshop is part of our Yoga Summer School -6 Workshop Series. Purchase alone or as part of the series.

Purchase: "Summer School -$100" (3 Summer School workshops for the price of 2!) or “Bandhas-$50”
