Week 1: Apana - feet and grounding | 23rd Oct. 9.30am

Service Description

The Five Pranas - a class series to deepen your own exploration and inspire your autumn teaching. Week 1 is also your Monthly Teachers Practice with teachers notes. Our feet are the starting point for an exploration of apana and autumn’s invitation to turn inward and earth down. We’ll begin with a mini anatomy session on the feet, then bring this understanding into practice. Through standing pose techniques, we’ll investigate how foot contact and weight distribution influence our experience through the legs, pelvis and trunk. Autumn-inspired vinyasa and pranayama will offer space to explore grounding, releasing and the downward quality of apana. We’ll play with the relationship between earth and space, discovering how a responsive foundation can support freedom of movement. Expect asana alignment exploration, creative vinyasa, fresh perspectives on familiar poses, mudra and mantra, with space to be curious about your own experience. Full teachers’ notes will accompany the recording, so you can revisit the practice or enjoy it in your own time if you can’t join live. You’re welcome to teach the class as presented, adapt it for your students or use the ideas to create something of your own. For yoga teachers and dedicated students, with time to nourish your own practice and ideas to explore in your teaching.
