Moving from the Organs

This workshop’s material is inspired by Judith H. Lasater, my teacher who is teaching this topic internationally and now it is my honor and pleasure to share my knowledge with you.

We often focus on practicing our poses from the spine, arms, and legs. But the ancient teachings of yoga also dealt with the opening and quieting of the organs of the body, like the heart, kidneys, and liver, that are found in the “Kunda” or vessel holding these organs.   During this immersion, we will focus on specific poses that create a healthy balance for the organs in the chest and abdomen, as well as explore the theories of why they work. All types of poses will be studied, including backbends, inversions, forward bends, and twists.  We will also spend some time on specific therapeutic applications that will be immediately applicable to ourselves and to our students.

What will we…
