Online Series: Qualities of Support
Inquiry
What does support feel like in your body? In your life? What has your yoga practice taught you about being supported? What has your yoga practice taught you about being unsupported?
This series of classes will explore the qualities and characteristics of support. We will use yoga props, the floor, and a wall to experiment with firmness, softness, and spaciousness as characteristics and techniques of support. Some of these techniques ask you to engage with your environment, like using a wall or yoga prop. Other techniques will ask you to find inner support when it’s not readily found around you.
Each class will explore how you adapt with more or less support for your body in asanas (postures). What happens when you lie on the ground and support your spine from your tailbone to your crown? What happens when you balance on one leg standing on a block? What do you notice when you have a slippery surface underneath you?
