When awareness informs breath, movement, and alignment, practice becomes both intelligent and sustainable.

 

Alignment isn’t something we learn once, but something we return to.

Over time, repetition can quietly turn into a habit. While familiarity builds confidence, it can also mask subtle patterns that:

• limit breath

• strain joints

• disconnect us from sensation

And this is important!

​

What we’ll explore

In this two‑hour workshop, we’ll slow down familiar sequences to explore refined alignment, breath awareness, and intelligent transitions, including:

 

Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations)
Standing poses
Balancing poses

Particular attention will be given to Chaturanga Dandasana (low plank pose), and the transition to Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (upward-facing dog) breaking down common habits and offering:

​

sustainable options
necessary modifications
shoulder‑supportive approaches
all in service of long‑term joint health.

​

Who this is for

This workshop is designed for:

• newer practitioners wanting strong foundations

• long‑time practitioners looking to refine, reconnect, and move more intelligently

No matter your experience level, the focus is on awareness, not performance.

​

 

What to expect

• Slowing down familiar movements

• Exploring nuanced alignment details

• Increased breath awareness

• Time for inquiry and reflection

• Reconnecting to poses you already know in a more embodied way

​

What you’ll leave with

• Practical tools you can integrate immediately

• Greater awareness and efficiency in movement

• Increased stability and ease

• A refreshed relationship with familiar poses

Not to perfect shapes —
but to move with clarity, support, and sustainability.

 

The practice will be thoughtfully challenging, with space at the end to fully rest and integrate in a generous savasana.

 

Small refinements, practiced consistently, create lasting support.
