Iyengar Workshop: Twists
Program Description
Iyengar Workshop: Twists
Join us at Thrive Yoga Crested Butte for an immersive exploration of twisting postures in our upcoming Iyengar Yoga Workshop: Twists. This workshop is designed for yogis with at least one year of consistent yoga practice and will guide you into the nuanced world of revolving poses, or twists. Twisting asanas are a foundational aspect of Iyengar Yoga, known for their precision, structural intelligence, and profound physical and energetic benefits.
What to Expect
Twisting poses are more than just spinal movements. In Iyengar Yoga, these asanas are approached with attention to alignment and anatomical integrity. By integrating props—bolsters, blocks, straps, and chairs—we will create a supportive environment that allows each participant to find proper alignment and explore the depth of each posture safely and effectively. Each pose will be broken down methodically, with options for modification to suit individual needs. This workshop is not about intensity—it’s about precision, awareness, and awakening subtle movement patterns.
Why Twist?
Twisting poses offer a wide array of physical and mental benefits:
- Spinal Mobility & Health: Twisting stimulates the intervertebral discs and encourages a healthy range of motion.
-
- Digestive Support: Revolving poses gently massage the abdominal organs, stimulating digestion and elimination.
- Stress Relief & Nervous System Support: Twists balance the parasympathetic nervous system and relieve tension.
- Improved Posture & Core Stability: Twisting activates core musculature, supporting spinal alignment.
- Energetic Cleansing: Twists are thought to release emotional and physical blockages, leaving the practitioner feeling refreshed.
Registration
This workshop is limited in capacity to ensure a focused and personalized experience. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.
Give your body a fresh perspective and your mind a breath of clarity through the art of twisting. Whether you’re seeking physical renewal, digestive support, or simply a clearer mental space, twisting poses have something powerful to offer. We look forward to sharing the practice with you.
