Advanced SmartFLOW®: Sama Sadhana – YATM Oakland

Loading Events
This event has passed.

Sama means even, or balanced as in Samasthithi or even standing pose. This pose teaches us to balance the body right and left, front and back and up and down; further it asks us to sense our feeling of being grounded with our need to feel free. And lastly it suggests that in our personal concerns we acknowledge the truth that we are part of or a greater, spiritual whole. Sadhana is practice: our daily Yogic practice. Sama Sadhana = Even, balanced Practice.
In this Intensive, you will reflect on and aim to balance your body, mind and heart similarly in all the poses we practice and in all the Movement Principles* that we explore. This will be a demanding and potentially transformational workshop, moving you through the limbs of Yoga.

Follow each Movement Principle to its fullest, advanced expression along its continuum
Sense your own subtle balance of effort and return; and your balanced needs for both power and rest
Consider each Movement Principle and its specific supports in all 3 Planes of Motion
Assess and practice Hands-on-Assists for each MP family
Anatomy to support each MP
Learn essential Restoratives for each MP
Daily Pranayama
Meditation
Philosophy (reading assignments will be given)
Sama Sadhana will be an Intensive in which you learn primarily through your own daily practice — to advance your own practice and to become a more sensitive and intelligent teacher. There will be also be lectures, demos and lab time. (*Note: Movement Principles are an essential element of SmartFLOW methodology; the online course will ground you in these concepts.)
