Elise Miller presents her internationally acclaimed workshop on working with scoliosis. This workshop is designed to present information and experience in the ways that Iyengar Yoga can be used to meet the challenges of scoliosis. We will include an anatomical background on scoliosis, identify each participant’s scoliosis, and discuss cause and effect as well as psychological consequences of scoliosis. Participants will learn optimal yoga postures for scoliosis as well as how to adapt specific yoga postures to their scoliosis. By combining the yoga postures with breathing awareness, one can develop more structural alignment of the body and become more symmetrical and balanced. Through yoga, one can find the balance point that allows the scoliosis curve to coexist with gravity and activates the body’s natural plumb line. Adjustments and props will be used to assist participants to work with their individual scoliosis.

The workshop will be held at Castle Hill Fitness Downtown. Schedule:

THE KARMENDRIYAS NO. 2:  THE OUTER BODY THAT GESTURES, OFFERS, AND HOLDS:  ARMS, SHOULDERS, AND THE UPPER SPINE.

There are two four-day sessions in this series.  This is a two-part workshop, the first part will be held AIY at Clear Spring and will focus on the upper body organs of action, and the second one in June (in Dallas, at the BKS Iyengar Yoga Studios of Dallas) addresses the lower body organs of action. 

The purpose of these sessions is to link the teacher with ways to help the students attending their classes. In each session we undertake an in-depth study of the subject. The teacher studies the dynamics, statics, coordinations and integrations of the asanas they teach their students – how the asana(s) interact with the whole student, as well as effect change in a part of the student. The first two days is devoted to the study and observation of the asanas and of the students performing.  This leads onto an understanding of how to adjust, adapt, arrange, and organize the asana(s) to bring benefit as well as knowledge to the student.

These four-day sessions are for teachers; however the experienced and interested student can attend days 1 and 2 of any session.

Manouso Manos is one of the most capable and experienced of the Senior Iyengar Yoga Teachers.  He holds one of only two Advanced Senior certificates granted worldwide by BKS Iyengar.

He began his studies with Sri BKS Iyengar in 1976, and served as chairperson of the First International Iyengar Yoga Convention in 1984.  After numerous trips to Pune, India and nearly 4 decades of personal practice, his understanding of and insights into Iyengar Yoga are conveyed with authenticity and precision.

Methodical in his teaching, Manouso lays a solid foundation and progressively refines each of the asanas.  His sense of humor and sensitivity shine through as his dynamic and challenging teaching style moves his students beyond their perceived limits.
