#mindfulmobility #yogateachertraining Sign up in advance for the 4 part workshop series by @amandakohkalariyoga Saturday & Sunday, July 21-22nd, 2018 FULL WEEKEND: Early Bird Cost: $180 / Door: $200 *INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE @guruvyoga #lakemary www.guruvyoga.com or call @englishyogi1 407-687-0407 We used to believe that stretching or strengthening a muscle will make us better yoga practitioners because it would mean that we were stronger and more flexible. In the short term, stretching and strengthening enable yoga enthusiasts to get their bodies into yoga poses but after a few years, they hit a plateau and find that stretching and strengthening no longer enables them to go further in asana practice. Frustrated practitioners then increase their efforts in stretching and strengthening and end up creating instability, sustain injuries from over-training and over-stretching, and either end up practicing painfully with injuries, or give up on the practice altogether. A tight muscle is a muscle which does not fully contract or fully relax. It is a muscle that the motor cortex does not have conscious control over, a condition which Thomas Hanna called "Sensory Motor Amnesia". Releasing it, stretching it or strengthening it will not resolve the issue. The problem is a software issue in your brain not a hardware issue in your tissue. We need practices that enable connectivity between the Muscle and The Central nervous system. This workshop series enables yoga practitioners to come to yoga from the perspective of functional flexibility and mindful mobility and enables us to explore the familiar through new eyes. The practices taught in this workshop are the culmination of several years of research and development and are unique to the yoga teaching technique and experience of Amanda Koh. #orlandoyoga #lakemaryyoga #yogavibes #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #mandukayoga #yogainspiration (at Guruv Yoga Pilates Dance)
