Jill Rodgers

I dabbled in so many forms of movement growing up (skating, dance, volleyball), but it wasn't until a friend dragged me to a yoga class in the early aughts that I was able to fully connect with myself. I remember...

Monthly Posture Lab - Twists and Revolved Folds

-

at Soma Yoga Center (256 Hanover St.
3rd Floor Boston, MA 02113)

All levels of practitioners are invited to attend the Posture Lab every second Saturday of the month. Take a deep dive into the structure and mechanics of a specific asana and learn what muscles and joints are required to create and stabilize the shape in your own body. Jill will help you explore active and passive actions, and guide you through variations of the posture in seated, standing, lying, or inverted options. This is an open-format workshop and yogis are encouraged to ask questions throughout. Teachers and Teacher Trainees may choose to use the program as continuing education. Supportive language and supportive touch will be offered.

The theme for April is Twists and Revolved Folds. We'll take the spine through its six directions of movement, talk about how twists behave differently in the different sections of the spine, and explore how the position of the shoulders and hips impact the comfort of our rotated postures. Asana will include Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle), Pasasana (Noose Pose), and twisted versions of Krounchasana (Heron Pose) and Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose).

These workshops now count towards CECs for Registered Yoga Teachers! Please inquire with Jill to get your continuing education credits.
