Sunday Session 15th of May 10am - 12.30pm 2011
This 2 1/2 hour Vinyasa Flow Class will explore the physical, emotional and energetic relationship to the hips and pelvis through asana. Lighthearted, playful and with plenty of time to find alignment in the postures.
Movement and Posture, Pelvic Health, Expression and Creativity.
Hips and the pelvic girdle
Physical: Hips and the pelvis. Hip openers people either love or love to hate! The hip joint can literally rotate in all directions (nearly). Our movement has become restricted as the hip flexor is generally always in one position - sitting!
Improve your posture, your yoga asana... even your breath and the space in your pelvis and abdomen will improve.
The hip joints are part of the pelvis and attaching our legs to the torso. The pelvic girdle holds our reproductive organs (prostate, gonads, ovaries, womb etc), our excretory organs are here, and intestines and mothers carry their babies and birth through the pelvis.
Mental and emotional: Muladhara (root) and Swadistana (sacral) Chakra. The emotions relating to the first two chakras relate to our identity, survival, relationships and how we interact.
Symbolic and energetic: This is about boundaries, our sense of Self and our relationship to the seductive nature of sex, money, substances (food, drugs, alcohol) and even people. It is about survival, expression, creativity including our relationship to our sexual and sensual Self.
