10 HOUR INTENSIVE - BODY READING
with Abbie Galvin
Saturday & Sunday, June 28th-29th (2-7pm)
Price: $300 ($250 thru 5/15)
Learning to read a body via asana work is one of the goals of teaching yoga. Poses are snap shots that show things in the moment. Does the pose fit itself? Does it have stability in the base, capacity in the torso, and a full view. Is it organized on a plumb line, does it have a center and a circumference? Does it conform to a grid. Reading a body, assessing a pose, interpreting where one is heading, is the art of seeing. Seeing patterns such as the repetition of arches in the body on every floor, or how a collar bone is turned will be reflected in the wrist. Poses show propensities of behavior and how personal habits are articulated in the practice.
When we are looking at a yoga pose, we reference the ideal form of it so that we have a template, a map, a criteria to look for; shoulders and hips that make four corners (a frame), legs that substantiate it, and a head with two eyes that see in every direction. Form that is not functional, that is dysfunctional, is not sustainable. Our work is to transform the personal to a formal form that functions formidably.
This intensive will cover:
How the body is a map with 3 floors, 9 rooms and 10 doors
How to read the body through the template of the magic square
How to read the body through the feet
How the personal reveals itself on every floor when you put someone on a grid
How to use your vision to become a good diagnostician
This is an IN PERSON training taught at The Studio in NYC.
