Summer Workshops 
with Julia

'Freedom in Backbends'

Backbends require great strength as well as a willingness to venture into your back plane. Integrity, far more than flexibility, gives us access to a comfortable range in our backbends plus opens us up to the support our whole body can offer these "heart openers."

Part 1
Saturday, July 20, 1-3pm

In this workshop we will open the shoulders and hips, approaching backbends in different relationships to gravity to increase their availability. The opening we will gain from these explorations is more balancing than expected as the practice goes beyond just expressing unexplored spinal action. Clarity and an unparalleled steadiness come from courageously stepping into the practice of back-bending.

Part 2
Monday, July 22, 2-4pm

In this workshop we will break down the principles used in the previous workshop. This workshop is designed as part lecture and part partner work to approach a few of the backbends once more. This workshop is especially appropriate for teachers and dedicated students committed to deepening the applications of Anusara Yoga Universal Principles of Alignment in their personal practice and in supporting others in their practice. Attending Part 1 is highly recommended if you plan to attend Part 2.

Price: $40 for one 2 hour workshop, $70 for Part 1 & 2 

'Exploring Inversions'

Inversions are some of the most invigorating and yet challenging of all the poses. To feel confident while weight-bearing on our hands, forearms, head, chin (!?!) requires a good study on tethering ones self to the depth of the midline— no matter the changing pull of
gravity.

Part 1
Saturday, Aug 10 1-3pm

In this workshop we will play with an array of inversions with opportunities to modify and be supported throughout. We will aim to come away with the joy of a new perspective as well as the deep satisfaction that comes when we hold sweetly and consistently to our own energetic center.

Part 2
Monday, Aug 12, 2-4pm

In this workshop we will break down the principles used in Part 1. This workshop is designed as part lecture and part partner work to approach a few of the inversions once more. This workshop is especially appropriate for teachers and dedicated students committed to deepening the applications of Anusara Yoga Universal Principles of Alignment in their personal practice and in supporting others in their practice.
