All the sessions of this Short Course are meant for ‘learning’. If you are already in a state of respiratory discomfort, pl. refer to our FREE Resource
Since this Short Course is designed to make sense even to relative beginners, we start the first 2 sessions with a more generic segment that sensitises/ activates/ warms-up the focus area – the thoracic area comprising the front, back and the sides. Indeed, for a healthy practitioner, it is important to appreciate, that ALL asanas have the potential to help us in a variety of ways, and a balanced practice will strengthen ALL systems within us. In any case the moe specific and therapeutic aspects of asanas practice are through modifications and adaptations of the basic asanas. Therefore, for a healthy practitioner, it is important to learn the basic asanas, and be familiar with them, so they can quickly learn how to adapt them in case of any ailments or life conditions. The first 2 session have detailed instructions of the positions and the prop arrangement. The third session has minimal instructions and has long-ish holds.
