Beginners Guide To Saluting the Sun

As a beginner student, I remember how much I struggled keeping up with Sun Salutations in class.  There is so much to think about, put this foot there, rise up, back down, breathe in, breathe out ....  When you have the knowledge, experience & confidence saluting the sun is a seamless flow of body, mind & breath but when you are just starting your journey it can be anything but!  Well, I offer this workshop for you!!

Sun Salutations are part of most yoga classes & once you have your flow and technique they are the simplest flow for you to do at home for yourself.  But if you go to an established weekly multi-level class trying to learn them and keep up can sometimes be challenging and maybe a little off putting right?  You can feel like you're the only person that can't keep up?  Flinging yourself from one pose to another just to keep up, means that you are not being mindful & could possibly result in you hurting yourself or getting into unhelpful habits.

I have 8 years experience of teaching sun salutations to all level students so I have plenty of tips & options to share with you.  During this 2 hour workshop we will breakdown all the normal components involved ... cobra, plank, downward-facing-dog, chatauranga etc. and we'll look at the transitions - plank to chatauranga, chatauranga to upward-facing-dog, stepping from upward-facing-dog to low-lunge etc.  You will have the chance to practice each step and to ask questions.  

You do not need to be a regular student at Ashgrove to benefit from this workshop.  It is open to everyone, even if you've been practicing for a while and there is a particular area that you're struggling with then please come along and join us because if you are struggling with something, you can guarantee someone else is too!!

I look forward to flowing with you.  Tania x
