Part Two: Unlock Your Shoulders and Hips:
A Workshop Using Dowels* in Yoga Asana
Discover the impact of incorporating a dowel into your yoga practice
Date: September 8, 2024
Time: 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Building Upon Concepts
During the first workshop, we learned basic techniques handling a 6ft dowel and explored three key concepts: support, leverage and expand. By applying these techniques with the dowel, we were able to safely and effectively open our hips and shoulders, ultimately aiming to access the spine in ways we would not experience during a typical asana practice. In the next workshop, we will build upon these concepts incorporating additional props.
All About the Spine (Almost)
Moving forward to Part Two, our attention will be centered on forward extension and balancing standing asanas. Here, we will introduce additional support for our hips, fostering stability and facilitating expansion from the pelvic floor all the way up to the sternum and across the collarbone. This T-Shape technique seamlessly blends the concepts of support, leverage and expansion for the spine.
Embodiment and Awareness
An essential aspect of practicing asana is uncovering hidden layers of ourselves that unconsciously impact our everyday life. Through asana we become familiar with the unfamiliar and the dowel (like all the props) serves as a tool to discover these unknown spaces that lie within the contours of our physical form and beyond. In this innovative and original approach, we aim to witness these dimensions with the anticipation of revealing insights that develop and sustain a heightened awareness throughout our daily life that fosters quiet, joy, and compassion.
