Bandha Bounce
What are the bandhas and how do they relate to our natural, healthy movement patterns? In this session we will revisit developmental movement patterns that form the basis for all of our yoga poses, transitions, and abilities to transmit force in strong and intelligent ways.
This journey will explore our bodies potential for plyometrics; using the earth as our trampoline to leverage downward force into upward levity. When we couple this with our understanding of yoga technology, we can find an efficient and functional awakening of our bandhas (energy locks) that will render our spine and entire myofascial network strong, elastic, and resilient.
This dynamic and informative class will include a wide range of asanas and movements, including sun salutations, forword bends, handstand, and backbends.
Options will be available for all levels but warning, breakthroughs may occur.
