Learning to read a body via asana work is one of the goals of teaching yoga. Poses are snap shots that show things in the moment. Does the pose fit itself? Does it have stability in the base, capacity in the torso, and a full view. Is it organized on a plumb line, does it have a center and a circumference? Does it conform to a grid. Reading a body, assessing a pose, interpreting where one is heading, is the art of seeing. Seeing patterns such as the repetition of arches in the body on every floor, or how a collar bone is turned will be reflected in the wrist. Poses show propensities of behavior and how personal habits are articulated in the practice.

When we are looking at a yoga pose, we reference the ideal form of it so that we have a template, a map, a criteria to look for; shoulders and hips that make four corners (a frame), legs that substantiate it, and a head with two eyes that see in every direction. Form that is not functional, that is dysfunctional, is not sustainable. Our work is to transform the personal to a formal form that functions formidably.

In this intensive training we will set up the body on a grid to be deciphered as a map, read the feet as a fractal of the whole narrative, learn how to unearth chronic and acute physical issues and explore what to do with the information we discover in our body readings.

THE ALCHEMY OF WELL BEING - Special Section with Nevine Michaan

Nevine will guide us through breathing and meditative techniques to enhance personal equilibrium and well-being. Using her Yogi Doli as a toolkit to demonstrate the body as a house for organs, glands, chemistry, emotions and personal outlook, we will explore the idea of the organization of being individual while also being part of the greater whole, in order to potentiate one's sphere of concentration and radiance.

** All participants will receive one of Nevine’s Yogi Dolis **
