Do you practice "twists" in yoga? How do you approach them? Consider twists as lateral extensions in the frontal plane as you rotate your axial body in the transverse plane. Meaning, do NOT attempt to twist your spine, but rather laterally extend the sides of your body/trunk/spine. A good cue to remind yourself about as you practice a "twist" is "as I turn my trunk to the right, my abdomen should go the other way". This helps maintain proximal stability and just as important, spinal alignment.
Have a good practice!

When you have learned how to integrate your diaphragm into the work of the core you will literally be able to shift the pressure in your core to correct imbalances. "Ahhhhhhh" (exhalation), "Shhhhhhh" (inhalation). Find this before all of your core work in whatever you're doing. This is the foundation. From the inside expand outward. Doesn't matter what activity you are doing. Start there. Be patient and take the time to go inward. Close your eyes. When you learn to move in this way it brings relief. You gain, not exert. You are literally Inspired. Enjoy your practice!

The goal is to prioritize the parasympathetic nervous system to help you feel relaxed and calm, but alert. The class is not "passive"; meaning it will require attention and intelligence in the poses. However, relaxation is prioritized over effort. All are welcome to the class.

All classes held at The Cultural Arts Center of Glen Allen

Cost: 120.00 for six weeks. Drop-ins welcome at 24.00 per class. All are welcome.
