Sun Salutations: Bright and Healthy

As Yogis we love to connect to Rituals, especially those that connect us to our body and our breath, to nature, and to the great traditions of Yoga. The Sun Salutation is all of that, and much more.

We practice this beautiful pattern in Asana to warm up, to connect our movement with the breath, to build both strength and flexibility, to examine our habits and make healthy choices and to yoke ourselves to the ritual that is Yoga.

BUT— This beloved ritual can be full of poor alignment and create painful habits; it also needs to be adjusted as we mature. The Sun Salutation I did in my 20s-40s is not the one I do now.

Join Annie for an afternoon of deep respect and rethinking of this beloved ritual. We’ll look at why we do each pose and transition, and find smart and better ways to approach them. We’ll lovingly question this tradition fully and re-imagine our way for today.

Workshop Overview

Each practice will be a balance of breathwork, active and restorative asana, and meditation, blended together for a clear theme to release old patterns and awaken us to what is — like cleaning the windows to let the sunlight shine in.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You love to move

  • You love to breathe

  • You want to continue to practice intelligently

  • You are ready to refine, and adjust.

This afternoon is for all Yogis with at least a couple of years under their belts, and for teachers who want to teach smarter.
