Carrie Owerko – Iyengar Yoga 201
Description Of Iyengar Yoga 201
Explore how a playful approach to your yoga practice develops a sense of possibility, increasing your capacity for variability and, most importantly, resilience. In this 6-part course, following on from our hugely popular Iyengar 101, Carrie Owerko covers more advanced adaptations of poses, emphasizing their therapeutic applications. You’ll not only advance your practice, but learn different pose modifications that are designed to help you work with physical and mental challenges, even injury.
You will also explore how varying the focus, or how you approach an asana, can greatly impact your experience of that asana, and yourself in that asana. If you teach yoga, you’ll learn how to make even some of the most challenging poses more accessible to a wider variety of students. But advanced yoga is not only about the physical practice. While this course will improve your asana, it will help you step off the mat with a greater capacity to adapt and adjust to whatever life throws at you.
