ENERGETICS examines poses according to their physical requirements (risks, flexibility, strength, cuing), as well as their effects on many levels - physiological, energetic, mental/emotional, psycho-spiritual. Based on this knowledge, we then dig into the science of sequencing for specific outcomes, with an emphasis on using asana to balance the doshas. This course establishes the foundation for skillfully practicing and teaching asana to meet students where they are and move them forward to a better place on all levels of their being.
Topics include:
6 categories of poses
Energetic effects of poses
Integration of asana with pranayama and meditation for energetic effects
Building to an apex - preparation and counterpose for physical and energetic benefits

Descent of consciousness into matter - gunas, 5 elements, doshas
Healing dosha imbalances
