Functional Asana: The Disciple is in the Discipline

This class will focus on exploring classical yoga asanas with the intention of learning how to efficiently integrate each pose into the core structure of the body. I include the psoas/illiacus, quadratus lumborum, transverse abdominals, thoracic and pelvic diaphragm into my definition of core structure. We will use the direction of anatomical terms to go from the superior muscle structures to more inferior muscle groups, meaning deeper muscles, which allows for a more intrinsic idea/function of the work itself. Be prepared to sing as a way of expressing the disciple\'s fundamental attitude, which is based upon love & devotion for the self. All levels welcome.

Sri Louise is an internationally acclaimed yoga teacher who has been devoted to her yoga practice for the last 16 years and subsequently brings to her class a unique expertise derived from rigorous and sustained, intimate research. Her forte is in her understanding of alignment, which she sees as being fostered on many levels; physical, psychological, ethical and ontological. Since 1999, Sri has been committed to an unbroken teaching tradition in India and is the disciple of Swami Dayananda Saraswati under whose tutelage she studies Vedanta and Vaidika dharma. In 2001, Sri created The Underground Yoga Parlour for Self-Knowledge and Social Justice in San Francisco, where in addition to on-going asana classes and community organizing, she designed and continues to conduct, yoga teacher training programs that promote the understanding of the self as asserted by the Upanisads. Sri Louise does not have a separate ethics for her life as a dancer. Sri worked in europe with Sidi Larbi Cherkoui in a variety of capacities; physical coach, choreographic assistant and performer/co-creator in Myth. She is now channeling her artistic efforts into her own creative projects and is increasingly becoming an advocate for dancer rights out of personal and professional necessity.
