Our Bodies, Our Selves
Based on traditional Iyengar Yoga practices and sequences for women's health, the class offers an opportunity to explore our deepest selves, to convene with the rhythmic essence that we carry inside and outside of ourselves. The intention of this class is to help you connect through yoga, experiential anatomy, and selected readings. This online class is for women and people with or without internal organs, with an emphasis on back and scoliosis care.

Through this class series, students will understand, connect to, begin to reclaim and integrate the territory of the pelvis, hips, legs, lumbar, sacrum and coccyx. Through Embodied Anatomy, Developmental Movement, and Iyengar Yoga. The subtle and finer adjustments explored through these practices will influence posture off the mat as well.

Understanding Your Core with Patricia Videgain
The purpose of this class is to improve your connection with the dynamic spine, muscles, connective tissue and breath. This will allow you to move safely, efficiently and creatively—both in Yoga and in your everyday life.
Your body is fluid and wants to be strong, flexible and balanced all at the same time. This process comes about when we breathe and function with freedom, not restriction. With this practice, sensing, moving and standing from your Core brings joy and ease.
Sucking your belly in and tightening your abdominal muscles is not a good way to develop a strong core—this actually makes it harder to function, trying to contain us from the outside in. The organs do not enjoy it either. It is better to find the rhythm, connection and support inside and then relax on the outside.
All the structures associated with the spine, from head to tail, touch our core. They are all involved with healthy posture. The way we carry ourselves and how we function affects our core integration.
Our bodies are brilliantly designed to move comfortably and easily, but also succeed at working hard when necessary. What facilitates movement is the clever combination of breath, presence, and the movement tools you will learn through this class series.
Embodying core awareness in action both on and off the mat gives us multiplicity of choice.
