Yoga Alignment Principles and Practice
with Stephen Weiss

Most students practice yoga with the common goal of finding ease and grace in their movements and strength and stability in their postures. Aligned postures are fundamental to achieving this while increasing health and vitality. Correctly aligning asanas unleash the wisdom and healing power of yoga. Alignment begins with knowledge and is followed by its application into our postures.

This workshop is committed to sharing the knowledge of alignment. Its fully experiential, on-the-mat, and presented in a yoga class setting. The specific principles of postural mechanics and alignment are explored using cutting edge application of anatomy and exercise physiology. Yet, all concepts and principle remain consistent with classical yogic philosophy.
