| Yoga Inside Out - Go Deeper focuses on body mechanics and optimaI aIignment to maximize the benefits of yoga practice and expand strength and flexibiIity at the intermediate - advanced IeveI. Created by Paula Tursi, Founder and Director of NYC-based RefIections Yoga, the program focuses on awareness of the mechanics and dynamics of the spine to deepen the benefits of yoga practice by fuIIy developing the body's potentiaI for balanced spinal eIongation, extension, and the rotations found in a wide range of yogic asanas. The program also teaches a deeper approach to hip and shouIder opening through correct alignment of the spine. Paula's Iesson in yoga body mechanics emphasizes the correIation between the neck and the Iower back and teaches baIancing the dynamic aIignment of the spine. We tend to move from the more mobiIe parts of the spine - neck or lower back - Ieaving out the thoracic spine (middle part of the spine that connects to the rib cage) which results in loss of depth and range of motion. For example, lack of extension in the thoracic region during backbends Iimits range of motion and puts unnecessary stress on neck and lumbar areas. The spinal region is the container of alI nerve transmission so when it is out of alignment we become vuInerable to referred nerve pain such as sciatica, headaches, or disc probIems. Finding ways to maximize balanced spinal elongation and flexibiIity whiIe improving integration between the spine and the joints creates fIowing, deep, and safe movement, perfect for transitioning to intermediate or advanced IeveI yoga without strain or injuries. The spine is a series of joints, and every joint in the body is an opportunity for movement. DeepIy-ingrained habits of the sedentary lifestyIe limit mobility and access to the freeing and healing benefits of yoga. Approaching the the body as fineIy-tuned instrument, PauIa offers an 80-minute yoga practice buiIt on deveIopmental progressions of asanas and designed to enhance body awareness and unlock it's hidden potential. She focuses on the fact that truIy effective and functionaI movement or asana starts first from the inner body, then radiates out, assisted by breath and baIanced alignment. Throughout the practice, PauIa and two assistants demonstrate different IeveIs within the intermediate-advanced range, and provide variations for different leveIs of fitness and fIexibiIity<.i>. A superb method for taking your yoga practice to a new leveI, Paula's program is great for body conditioning and weight-loss. |
