Strike a Pose
Taught by SharonIn this workshop, we'll take some of the most common poses in yoga and look at them in detail. Are there questions you've always had about common poses (should my heels be on the floor in downward dog? where do I look in extended side angle pose?), or a pose you've been "stuck" on for a long time (will I ever be able to touch the floor in triangle?)?
Using our bodies and our brains, we'll move and study, learning common misalignments to be aware of, key actions for each pose, and how to make every pose feel better to your body.
All levels welcome.
$20 if paid by March 11; $25 thereafter

AcroYoga
Taught by Lori Mortimer
Acro Yoga Mtl is a grounding and uplifting practice that can be playful, challenging and expansive. Students are guided through a Vinyasa warm up that includes: core conditioning, inversions, balancing postures and arm balancing. Guided group activities and creative process help increase awareness and sensitivity with one another. Following this, partners receive each other’s weight during safe exercises to prepare for flying and basing. We work with a group of three during the Acro yoga sequences. One person will be spotting the base and flyer for safety and support. Your roles will often rotate so that each person can experience something new and learn what the dynamics are to each position.
Lori Mortimer,
RYT, is an interdisciplinary yoga and Acro yoga Mtl instructor with 18
years experience practicing yoga. In 2000, Lori began teaching yoga and
has served as yoga instructor for UVM physical education and medical
students, Champlain College, Yoga Mountain, Ayurvedic Center of VT, and

space and support for people to try out dynamic new practices which
nourish the human spirit, body and mind while generating a web of
interconnectedness. www.sattvayoga.wordpress.com
