SUN MAR 15, 1 - 3 PM MDT (SUN MAR 15, 1 - 3 PM MDT)

Vinyasa Foundations Workshop: Plank to Down Dog

Sunday, March 15 | 1:00–3:00 pm

Cost: $45 + GST

Learn to move through one of the most common vinyasa sequences with strength, awareness, and ease: Plank (Phalakasana) → Chaturanga Dandasana → Upward-Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana) or Cobra (Bhujangasana) → Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana).

We’ll explore what vinyasa means, the connection between breath and movement, and how these postures fit into Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara). The workshop includes a warm-up, stretching, and time for rest and recovery.

Ideal for anyone who wants to:

  • Build confidence in Chaturanga and transitions

  • Protect wrists, shoulders, and low back

  • Learn modifications and variations that support their body

  • Understand the purpose and feeling of each pose

All levels welcome — the focus is on finding the right variations for you right now.


What We’ll Explore

  • Plank (Phalakasana): alignment, core engagement, and wrist support

  • Chaturanga Dandasana: safe lowering, modifications, and shoulder care

  • Upward-Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana), Cobra (Bhujangasana), Little Cobra (Ardha Bhujangasana): variations, back support, and breath

  • Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): alignment, options for tight bodies

We’ll work through multiple variations, using props to support the body and help you feel each posture with intention.
