"My Favorite Asanas" with Richard Rosen and MP

  • Nest Yoga Piedmont Ave Oakland, California United States (map)

"Our Favorite Asanas”  - A workshop with Mary (Poppins) Paffard and Richard (Van Dyke) Rosen to explore the poses and yoga asana practice that have supported these dinosaur yogis over 4 decades.  This will be an enjoyable exploration of poses that these 2 senior teachers have seen evolve from their early hard core Iyengar days to their current practice and teaching.   It will be an opportunity to look at how some poses have changed within their own individual paths but also within the wider yoga and movement worlds.   Why do we keep coming back to certain poses?   What is a supercalafragailstic balanced asana practice?  What keeps the poses and the exploration juicy, alive, relevant?  What heritage and wise anatomical foundation do our favorites have?  

Inevitably Richard and Mary will find much that is complimentary in their different approaches but we assure you we will find intriguing points of difference and invite you to bring your own wisdoms and experience to this workshop to share.   We also assure you we will not attempt to sing!

These 3 hours will incorporate active asana practice with reflection time along the way, and will end with pranayama and a short meditation.  Includes a short break mid session. Suitable for those with a reasonable amount of experience in asana practice, teachers and those looking for further inspiration and validation along their unique, magical paths.
