The Mythology of

Discovering the meaning behind the poses WORKSHOP RUN BY ANUSHA WIJEYAKUMAR

Have you ever wondered what is truly the purpose of Savasana, apart from it being a well-deserved rest after an exhausting and most likely rather sweaty asana practice? Or what could possibly be the philosophical meaning behind Downward Dog? Perhaps understanding the meaning behind the poses will bring a new depth to your practice. Or just provide you some new nerd knowledge to enlighten your friends with over your post-class beverage.

Join Anusha for a 2-hour workshop that will include an in-depth exploration of the philosophy, mythology and meaning behind some of Yoga’s most popular poses for the first hour. Followed by a calming meditation and rejuvenating yoga flow incorporating all of the poses covered for the second hour. This workshop promises to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and with a slight spring in your step as you leave, hopefully more knowledgeable and with the ego in check of course!

Poses covered will include: ™ Sun Salutations/Surya Namaskar ™ Eagle/ ™ Mountain/ ™ Crescent Lunge/ ™ Downward Dog/Adho Mukha Svanasana ™ Fish/ ™ Warrior/ I, II and III ™ Corpse/Savasana
