‘Side’ Body Explorations Part1: Parighasana, Trikonasana, Vasistasana

299.00699.00

In the asana vocabulary, there are many positions and actions that take awareness to the side body.  This starts with the simplest of actions – raising the arms overhead or sideways, and then extends to the simplest asanas taught to beginners – the lateral standing asanas. This lead towards Vasistasana.

Seated Virasana with Preparation and Adaptations

second half of the session: detailed explanation, along with adaptations for the most common limitations.
