Blissology Yoga Foundations

Do the YOGA that is right for YOU, using Blissology Alignment techniques that will empower and transform your practice and your attitude to YOGA forever.

We will explore not just how to use the muscles to line up the bones correctly in gravity but also we will also explore the breath, the subtle body and some juicy Blissology philosophy.

Some of the poses we do most often in yoga are also the most complex: upward dog, downward dog, and triangle. Fortunately, when we learn the details of these poses correctly, we can understand the underlying principles for so many other asanas.

We will explore not just how to use the muscles to line up the bones correctly in gravity but we will also explore the breath, the subtle body, and some essential Blissology philosophy.

This course is crucial for both beginner and intermediate students who want to develop an intelligent foundation for a safe, therapeutic, and fluid yoga practice.
