Course Overview

Description

This six-part course explores how a wall can be used to enhance your home yoga practice. Walls are a readily available prop that can offer a variety of benefits, from therapeutic support to stability and even a reference point for proper alignment. In this course, we’ll explore different ways to use a wall to achieve a variety of outcomes in your yoga practice.

First and foremost, a wall can provide therapeutic support to help preserve energy during your practice. This can be especially beneficial at times when you are feeling tired or unwell. It can also offer stability when you’re struggling with balance, allowing you to focus on alignment and breath. In addition to this, a wall can be used for more energetic purposes, such as providing a reference point for the vertical plane that informs our asana alignment. It can even act as an unyielding structure to press against, giving you leverage and access to regions of the body that may be difficult to reach otherwise.

A wall can also be great for giving your yoga practice a back releasing emphasis. It can help bring stability and freedom of movement to positions that might otherwise restrict spinal mobility. It can also be a great way to preserve energy during times when you’re feeling fatigued or unwell.

Incorporating a wall into your home yoga practice is easy – most people have access to a wall, even if it means temporarily moving some furniture or taking down a picture. By exploring different ways to use a wall, you can enhance your practice and take it to the next level. So why not give it a try? Join our course and discover the versatility and benefits of using a wall in your yoga practice.
