Ignite Your Inner Fire! Core Work & Discovering Your Bandhas with Joan Hyman

Sunday October 24th, 2010 Sunday 1:00-4:00pm

Core & Bandhas are common terms in yoga classes today. What are they and how do we find them? Everything comes from our core. When we learn to access this area the poses seems lighter and the physical effort is minimal. Bandhas are energy locks in our subtle body which help regulate the flow of prana (life force). When engaging these locks, energy is forced to spread throughout these pathways to help us lift off the ground and take flight! In this workshop we will focus on the center of our torso in all directions using breath work and asanas that will help us engage our core and find our bandhas! All levels welcome.
