Intro to Tantra:
Using the System to Tailor Asana Practices to the Individual
Sunday, June 5, 1-6 pm at Bliss Yoga Shala
Tuition: $100 (YA CEU certificates available for Yoga Teachers)
Facilitator: Shri Hamilton-Hubbard, E-RYT 500
Open to All Levels
As our Yoga asana practice deepens, we develop an understanding of the power of Yoga asana as as a therapeutic tool. Some jobs require a hammer. Some jobs require a screwdriver. Likewise, forward bends are Yoga Chikitsa (Yoga Therapy) for some while other practitioners would benefit more from a focus on backbends.
This workshop explores what a Yoga practice looks like with Tantra as its foundation and uses the Tantric system as a framework to create healing Yoga practices for individuals. We will look at case studies for practice and also formulate a therapeutic practice for ourselves.

The Moon must be made steady in order for the Sun to rise.

Along the way you'll learn the alphabet- itself a lovely chant- and you'll receive the tools you need to explore your favorite sutras and chants in the beautiful script of Sanskrit, devanagari. ASI's teaching method, developed over many years by Vyaas Houston, makes learning Sanskrit stress-free and FUN!
