Linda Troutman demonstrating poor alignment in Warrior 2

Saturday, April 27
2-5 pm

Join Linda to learn how to turn off the release valves, the habitual patterns we all bring to yoga due to tightness, lack of strength, or not understanding the alignment cues.

 This workshop will help you:

Linda Troutman demonstrating classical alignment in Warrior 2

• Identify the common release valves in yoga poses
• Cue and/or prop to minimize these release valves
• Learn how to support yourself and overcome these habitual patterns.

In this picture, Linda is demonstrating the following release valves:

1. Her stance is too short – when she bends her knee, the knee will go over the crease of the ankle

2. Her front hip is not externally rotated

3. Her front knee falls inward due to tightness in the inner thigh and/or weakness in the outer hip.

4. Her whole body goes forward due to a lack of ability to flex the hip

5. Her arms are not integrated with the shoulder girdle

6. Her neck is stressing in order to turn my head

7. She feels stuck in the rotation of my neck, so she lifts her chin.

This workshop is eligible for 3 CEUs or YTT elective workshop hours.
