Yoga and Hands

Category:  Yoga

INSTRUCTOR:   Jennifer Prugh

Class Description:

Notice what your hands are doing during the day and that will tell you  a great deal about what you are committed to in life. Little discussion is often given to the significant role that the hands play in the asana practice. In this workshop we will discuss the structure and anatomy of the hands,  review stories from yogic philosophy as well as a variety of the world's traditions about the significance of the hands, learn ways to strengthen and release tension in the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders, and take flight, by developing ways of using the hands to support our bodies in arm balances of all kinds. In addition, you will learn a variety of mudras or hand gestures that ignite the energy centers of the body, heal body and mind and express our heart's deepest intentions.
