Chaturanga Workshop
Saturday, March 23, 2024
1:00 - 2:30 PM
$30 | with Jill
In this workshop we will dive deep into the function and proper mechanics of each movement in chaturanga dandasana. We’ll review the muscle actions of all four movements (high plank, low plank, upward facing and downward facing dog) and how to prepare the body for each. We’ll discuss modifications and injury prevention.
If you’re looking to delve deeper into your physical practice and improve your chaturanga — this workshop is for you!
About Jill:
Jill began practicing yoga in 2011 when she walked into a Baptiste studio. Being an exercise physiologist and an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, she was drawn to the physical aspect of yoga. Soon, however, she discovered so much more. Jill fell in love with the introspective process that yoga ignites through the mind, body and breath connection. She has relied on yoga through many changes and challenges in her life since that first class. In 2016, she moved abroad with her husband. It was then that she decided to complete a yoga teacher training. In February 2017, Jill traveled to India to develop a greater knowledge of the heritage and philosophy of yoga. She completed her 200-hour training at Himalaya Yoga Valley Centre in Goa, under the direction of Lalit Kumar. She taught yoga in Ireland for one year before moving back to New England in 2018.
Jill has also studied the Yin yoga tradition with Josh Summers in Boston and most recently became Pre/Post Natal certified with PROnatal Fitness. Jill has relied heavily on yoga principles in the transitions of pregnancy, labor and motherhood. She is very passionate about helping other new moms.
All of this experience has inspired her goal of honoring the roots of the practice while bringing in modern alignment principles that consider everyone’s unique anatomy. No one cue fits all!
