Tripsichore Sun Salutations and Beyond: Innovation & Orthodoxy

Type:       ● [A] "On the Mat"/Asana ●

INSTRUCTOR:   Edward Clark

Class Description:  This session will focus on learning the innovative Tripsichore Sun Salutes while clarifying the specifics of breathing and bandha techniques, as well as the relevance of Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Vinyasa. The Tripsichore view on these subjects is adventurous and innovative, but also respectful of orthodox tradition. The techniques used to achieve "spectacular" postures are the same as for seemingly "simple" postures. Edward Clark takes students on an exploration of the dynamic potential of backbends and inversions within the framework of Tripsichore Yoga Theatre's vinyasa technique. This workshop will start with the fundamental relationships of pranayama and asana and pranayama and movement/flow. As we progress, it will focus on inversions and backbends within this framework of breath, pose, and flow.
