Subtle Power: Intro to Bandhas

Establishing support from the internal action of the bandhas is elusive in its subtlety and potent in its power. A more subtle action than many realize, the bandhas act in the same way as the locks in a canal; they manage the flow of energy. In this class we will explore ways to experience the bandhas and feel how they can bring valuable core support to asana.

Please join me in welcoming Baxter Bell back to Boston for this special weekend workshop focusing on health and wellbeing via Yoga. Designed for students of all ages and also those in training to teach, we will look at how yoga supports a healthy spine, good digestion and well functioning immune and endocrine systems. Sessions will present basic background information, looking at normal function, and also common problems. Through experiential practices, we’ll start to embody and more clearly understand these diverse yet interconnected systems of our body. As always happens when Baxter leads a workshop here, we will have lots of fun doing it!

Friday, March 23: 6-8 pm
Experience the Body, Understand the Body

In this introductory session, we will start to get an overview of the spine, digestive system, and the immune/endocrine systems via experiential yoga practices and discussion. This will lead us into the following sessions over the weekend.

Saturday, March 24: 11 am – 3 pm
Part One: The Spine, Lower Back Problems and Yoga

In part one of our session, we’ll look at the unique structure and function of the human spine, explore how things can go awry, and apply yoga asana, pranayama and meditation practices to improve function.

Part Two: Yoga for Healthy Digestion
We’ll shift gears for the second half of the class and look at common imbalances in digestion and yoga practices to positively influence and improve digestion.

Sunday, March 25: 11 am – 3 pm
Immunity, Hormonal Balance and Yoga

We’ll try to distill this vast and complex system into manageable concepts and look at the most beneficial practices to keep it humming along as we work to gracefully grow and mature.
