Contraindications / Precautions / Injury Prevention:

As yogis an understanding of the physical body, and how asana and pranayama relate to the physical body is essential.
Most students of asana begin their studies well beyond youth, and have a vast history of holding patterns, injuries, pain, and even disease. These course will help you to understand the relationship between movement, relaxation, breath, and longer held postures.
We will discuss physiology, kinesiology, and present day pathology (common injuries and their cause) to more safely and accurately understand entry, exploration, and exit of asana. We will also cultivate an understanding how the structure and status of the human body enables or limits the access of certain asana. We hope to instill greater confidence and appreciation in the magnificent human body.
We also recognize that we are neither doctors nor able to diagnose disease. We respect each body's innate healing wisdom and guidance, and strive to deepen the mind body connection.

Panchakarma means five actions and is Ayurveda's methodology of purifying the body.
Whether used for chronic illnesses or simply as a seasonal cleanse, it is surprisingly effec-tive in removing deep, shallow or seasonally seated toxins that interfere with the proper flow of energy in the body.
As the flow in our bodies is of three types: anabolic (that which builds structure), meta-bolic (that which transforms structure) and catabolic (that which reduces structure); the five methods of Panchakarma restore the proper balance between these three forces.
Why do our bodies, minds and spirits gather toxins?
Over the course of our lives, these ex-tremely sensitive forces of nature, in themselves representing the five elements we are made of, are subject to many different assaults: the assault of age, of season, of diet, of mind-stuff, of time and the inevitable toxicity associated with high levels of Elctro-Magnetic Fields (EMF's) are some of the unavoidable forces we are constantly bombarded with. In Ayurveda, health is defined as the body being clear of toxins, the mind being at peace, emotions being calm, wastes efficiently eliminated and organs functioning normally. This ancient treatment is designed to restore this balance by eliminating the toxins and stresses of our daily living that cause degenerative changes. In effect, panchakarma gives us a new lease on our vitality, immunity and enthusiasm.
