Integrity: The Balance of Flexibility and Strength - a 2-day Clinic with Donna
Monday May 19th, 1pm-4pm
Tuesday May 20th, 1pm-4pm

Flexibility without strength causes instability and injury. . . even in the beginning student. In this seminar we look at some of the common problems caused by unsound technique, especially those that develop after many years of practice. These include overstretching ligaments that support joint integrity, creating hypermobility in areas of the body that require stability, overemphasis on the origin and insertion opening of the muscle bundle causing tendonitis and pulled muscles. Even if you consider yourself a "tight" person, this seminar will give you insight into how to work effectively without forcing the body beyond it's natural limits. Additionally we will explore how to differentiate between working with intensity and forcefulness with one mind state leading to focused clarity and the other to self-aggression and frustration.

Moving Outside the Square
Wednesday May 21, 1pm-4pm

We usually think of twists and side-bends as counter-poses for the practice of back bends. They are often practiced incorrectly after the back is a little irritated from backbends. In this clinic we will look at the powerful application of lateral extension movements as preparations before moving the spine into extension. When the intervertebral spaces are open this creates the conditions for moving into extension with ease and agility. We will explore adding lateral extension variations into the classical Sun Salutation cycle as well as other asanas that move the spine in multiple planes of movement. This is a class for anyone wanting to learn how to gently but effectively prepare the spine for deeper movements and will be of particular relevance to teachers foroffering safe classes.

Yoga Nidra Class
Wednesday May 21, 4:30pm - 6:00pm

In the practice of Yoga Nidra we enter profoundly deep states of relaxation as a means to discover our true identity. Translated as "psychic sleep", Yoga Nidra offers us an opportunity to wake up to the direct experience of the infinite nature of the self. This class will combine lecture on the basic structure of the practice, restorative practice, and a classical guided Yoga Nidra.
