Take some time to learn the alignment principles of your favorite yoga poses, and learn to love the ones you avoid! Deeply learn the alignment principles of Iyengar yoga and apply them to your yoga practice to heal injuries quicker, see results faster, and make the poses easier and more enjoyable!
Nick and Christina will create a safe environment to learn and grow. They will start by leading you though a warm up flow, followed with an in-depth break down and practice of the alignment of your yoga poses. They will explain the alignment of each pose in a way that all yoga practitioners, no matter what level or condition, will understand and be able to walk away with great knowledge and clarity that will serve you for the rest of there yogic lives. According to the late B.K.S. Iyengar, there are many different effects/benefits of each pose. These include positive physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and growth. BUT, you have to actually do the poses in proper alignment to receive the full range of benefits of each posture. All this means is aligning your bones and using the muscles of your body properly to achieve the healing and energetic power of each posture. This includes learning how and when to use yoga props and the wall. You will walk away from each class with great knowledge and power!
Christina and Nick both have been teaching yoga all around Chicago since 2010. Both have well over 500+ hours studying with their alignment based teachers Sara Strother here in Chicago and Noah Maze in Los Angeles California. Both are deeply influenced by the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar who wrote the book Light On Yoga which shows and describes over 500 yoga postures.
