Union Yoga presents Take Your Vinyasa, a workshop taught by Kelli Nairn on Sunday, April 8, 1pm-4pm. Fee is $35. Register now online.

In many vinyasa yoga classes teachers will say 'take your vinyasa.' For those new to yoga, this leaves us looking around to guess what that might mean and we figure it out to the best of our availability. We unfortunately also know this is often why people say they hurt their back in yoga.

This workshop addresses Surya Namaskar A, or Sun Salutation A, which is a flow of key vinyasa poses. We will break down Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Uttanasana (standing forward fold), chattarunga (lowering of plank), Bhujangasana (Cobra), and Urdva Mukha Svanasana (Upward facing dog). This will be a fun and informative workshop for those who are new to yoga as well as practiced yogis who would like a slower refresher to come back to the basics.
