Yoga Foundations

This series is designed for beginners, but is also open to teachers and yoga students who wish to dive deeper into foundational teachings of the physical yoga practice. Even advanced practitioners can benefit from re-visiting the foundations of a yoga practice, and approaching poses with a ‘beginners mind’. During the 6-week series we will discuss and practice a different theme each week. The progression of the series will be: Sun Salutations, Standing Poses, Balance Poses, Backbends, Seated Postures & Twists, and Inversions. Analysis of the postures will incorporate story-telling, variations among yoga lineages, and safe modifications for different bodies. During each workshop-style class (90 minutes), we will take time to explore a specific set of postures, learn pose variations, and incorporate important breath work. Inquiry of topics and poses covered in this series will support each student’s practice in Vinyasa classes on the regular schedule.Cost: $90 for all 6 sessions or $20 drop in with full purchase of workshop, receive a discount code for 50% off OYK 10 class pass **Sundays 3:30-5:00pm at One Yoga KelownaOctober 20 Sun SalutationsOctober 27 Standing PosturesNovember 3 Balance PosesNovember 17 BackbendsNovember 24 Seated Postures & TwistsDecember 1 Inversions Teacher Bio:Alex is a One Yoga certified teacher who has trained with master teachers such as Ryan Leier, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Father Joe Pereira, and Nicki Doan.
