Gudjon Bergmann E-RYT 500 hours, yoga teacher/trainer returns to Yoga Vela Studio for this 2 1/2 hours workshop. Using simple anatomical tests for each of the eight major joints, this workshop answers the question: “When should I pursue a pose and when should I settle for the progress I have made?” Gudjon will focus on the concepts of tension vs. compression and discuss the importance of proportion in certain poses. The workshop is inspired by the work of Paul Grilley and is highly beneficial for yoga teachers and yoga students alike.
