Yoga Chikitsa translates to Yoga therapy in Sanskrit. It is also the name of the First Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It is a foundational sequence of postures that cleanse and detoxify the body, builds strength and increases flexibility.
This two-hour workshop is an exploration of the complete Yoga Chikitsa sequence utilizing a progressive step by step approach. Along the way Mark will detail proper form for the transitions, clarify breathing techniques that enhance the subtle action of the bandhas (energy seals), as well as offer a bandha overview.
This workshop is intended for those with a solid foundational yoga asana practice who are seeking more challenge and flow.
