Principles of alignment
In this course we explore different groups of postures and the fundamental principles of alignment present in each group. We’ll explore poses from the ground up, develop a feel for the principles of foundation and grounding, as well as rebounding and lightness, and learn to apply these concepts to groups of postures from the same family.

We’ll set the scene by looking at component parts for postures in general and then take a closer look at key alignment principles for standing poses. We’ll include symmetrical and asymmetrical poses, square hip and open hip postures.
We’ll expand on what we have learned about standing postures in the first session, revisit open hip standing poses, examine some fundamental upper body strengtheners (think chaturanga :), and then focus on forward bends.
We explore key alignment principles and necessary actions for prone, standing and supine backbends including their benefits and as in every sessions contraindications and precautions.
We’ll wrap up with a focus on twists. Twists are often the most complex postures and benefit from building up to through forward bends and backbends.
