BREATHING INTO ALIGNMENT

an asana intensive with ty landrum

As our asana practice deepens, so does our sense of alignment.  What begins as a struggle for postural perfection becomes an exploration of the wonders of endless embodied form. In this weekend seminar, we explore alignment as a polyvalent phenomenon, one that manifests in multiple spheres of embodied experience at once, and allows us to feel their deep continuity.  Using breath as the touchstone of our inquiry, we learn how alignment can open our experience of the body, and draw us into more lucid and spacious states of mind.

This intensive can be taken with or without the Mysore classes.  The workshops will focus on postures from the Ashtanga Vinyasa syllabus, but will be accessible to those who practices other styles of dynamic postural yoga.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

SPINAL FLUIDITY

One of the surest ways to create a fluid sense of embodiment is to make elegant movements with a supple spine.  In this session, we learn to roll the spine from the base of the pelvis to the base of the skull, integrating the internal currents of the breath, and opening the central axis of the body to a fuller flow of consciousness.  This session will involve a light practice, with special emphasis on back bending. It will integrate postures from the first and second series, with variations to accommodate a wide range of abilities.

BREATH, BANDHA AND FOLDING TO INFINITY

This session aims to bring clarity and inspiration to the confused matter of working with the bandhas.  It gives a compelling and informed account of what the bandhas are, how they work on the subtle body, and how we can use them in asana practice to connect with the deeper sources of our being.  Using this understanding, we can work with the bandhas more readily, to enhance our immediate experience of breathing through the body.

THE BURNING OF KAMA

Kama is desire. And Hatha (Tantric) Yoga works directly with desire as a vehicle for ascension to higher, more lucid, and more ennobled states of mind.  In this session (which is pure philosophy, and involves no formal practice as such) we contemplate esoteric meaning of the myth in which Siva, awakened from meditation, burns Kama to ashes.  We find in this myth some resource for understanding the traditional idea that Hatha Yoga is an alchemical process of sublimating desire, by releasing desire from its objects, and allowing the orectic force of desire to expand the horizons of experience. 

MYSORE

This is a traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga Vinyasa class. Students lead themselves through the Ashtanga sequencing while receiving individual guidance and support.  This class is intended for people with an established Ashtanga practice. There are no expectations of proficiency, but instructions on sequencing will be kept to a minimum, so please know at least the standing and closing sequence to attend.

BREATHING IN ALIGNMENT 

As our asana practice deepens, so does our sense of alignment. What begins as a struggle for postural perfection turns into a never-ending exploration of the wonders of the embodied form. In this weekend seminar, we explore alignment as a multipurpose phenomenon, one that manifests itself in multiple spheres of embodied experience at once, and allows us to feel its deep continuity. Using the breath as the touchstone of our research, we learn how alignment can open up our experience of the body and draw us into more lucid and spacious states of mind.  

  This intensive can be taken with or without the Mysore classes.

The workshops will focus on the poses of the Ashtanga Vinyasa syllabus, but will be accessible to those practicing other styles of dynamic postural yoga.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS 

SPINAL FLUIDITY

One of the surest ways to create a flowing sense of embodiment is to do graceful movements with a flexible spine. In this session, we learn to roll the spine from the base of the pelvis to the base of the skull, integrating the internal currents of the breath and opening the central axis of the body to a more complete flow of consciousness. This session will involve light practice, with special emphasis on the back bending. You will integrate poses from the first and second series, with variations to accommodate a wide range of skills. 

BREATH, BANDHA AND FOLDING TO INFINITY

This session aims to bring clarity and inspiration to the confusing issue of working with the bandhas. It gives a compelling and informed description of what bandhas are, how they work in the subtle body, and how we can use them in asana practice to connect with the deepest sources of our being. Using this understanding, we can work with the bandhas more easily, to enhance our immediate experience of breathing through the body. 

THE BURN OF KAMA 

Kama is desire. And Hatha (Tantric) Yoga works directly with desire as a vehicle for ascension to higher, more lucid and more ennobled states of mind. In this session (which is pure philosophy and does not involve formal practice as such) we contemplate the esoteric meaning of the myth in which Siva, awakened from meditation, burns Kama to ashes. We find in this myth some resources to understand the traditional idea that Hatha Yoga is an alchemical process of sublimation of desire, by releasing desire from its objects and allowing the mineral force of desire to expand the horizons of experience.  MYSORE This is a traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa class from Mysore.
