Discovering Ease, Grace, Balance, and Strength Within the Ashtanga Yoga Practice with Jessica Walden

Through the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, we can cultivate in inner strength that can make our bodies light and strong. In this workshop, we will explore how leading with the center of the body (the core) can be supported by the limbs in order to bring more lightness and balance to the body as a whole. Lightness is born from steadiness. We often just want to do the hard thing like the handstand but the hard thing wouldn’t be so hard if we first gave ourselves the permission to build a foundation of steadiness and strength. It takes time and practice but not that much extra to what we already do. This workshop will offer physical and mental techniques to achieve a lightness/effortlessness in each posture within the practice. We will delve into select postures from the 1st and 2nd series, along with additional movements, to demonstrate this approach. This workshop aims to serve as a springboard for ideas to integrate into your practice.
