Are you an experienced student of yoga looking to expand and deepen your practice? Join Glenn Black, renowned yoga practitioner, bodyworker, and longtime Omega teacher, in this 5-day exploration of the underlying structures that move our bodies—skeletal structure, musculature, connective tissue, skin—and how they engage in the skillful performance of yoga asanas. Morning sessions are devoted to detailed asana practice, with focus on the contractibility of muscles and ligaments and the basic principles of joint physiology. In the afternoons, we continue asana practice with an emphasis on finding stability in hypermobile joints. All sessions include pranayama (breathing exercises) and conscious relaxation. All experienced yoga practitioners, from intermediate to advanced, are invited to attend The Anatomy of Yoga. Glenn Black is also teaching Advanced Yoga Immersion; May 7-14, and Essential Skills of Yogic Meditation; August 6-8, 2010.
