Posture and alignment have a double-edge interpretation. We mimic our parents’ posture. We have physical and congenital structure that affects our posture. More importantly, in Yoga we teach that the body is the Silent Communicator of the Spirit; our body mirrors the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual stories of our life. The subtle energies governing this include the pranavayu, chakra, nadi, dosha, kosha and consciousness.

This workshop explores “reading the body.”

We will explore reading the physical, subtle, mental, and spiritual messages of a client’s body. We will look at the ancient teachings and how being aware of alignment allows the body to become a Silent Communicator. The information will be translated to the practical applications of reading a yoga student or therapy client’s body.  It is up to the client / student to choose to explore understanding their life.  We are the “container” holder for such experiences.  Reading the body can provide information to adapt practices, and ultimately, support our awareness of what impact our awareness of the messages revealed by their body about their mind, emotions and Spirit.

This course is designed for Professional Yoga Therapists or Yoga Therapists-in-Training. Advanced Yoga Teachers may be allowed to attend based on permission of the instructor.
