Our yoga practice is an opportunity to clear some of the toxicity that we absorb and retain as a result of living in an ever-more physically, energetically, emotionally, and environmentally hazardous world. Yoga is one of our best defences for combatting the stress and disease that can result from this toxic build-up. But the ?detox potential? of yoga isn?t just a matter of sweating, breathing, and doing twisting poses. Addressing only the physical (or the mental or the emotional) without considering the entire ecosystem means that we might be overlooking the part of ourselves that needs cleansing the most! In this session, discover a simple, comprehensive approach to detoxing with yoga on five levels: physical, mental, energetic, behavioural and emotional. Leave feeling refreshed, lighter, energetic and inspired, and with the tools to continue your detoxification practice in the days, months, and years ahead.

"Any active physical yoga practice should be built on principles of good alignment if it is to serve the overall goal of long-term health and wellness. But with so many different trusted and often well-educated voices declaring so many divergent opinions on ?how a pose should be done,? how are we supposed to know which one to listen to?This workshop will focus on identifying some core principles of biomechanics and physiology that provide us with tools to help find appropriate and effective alignment for almost any yogi in almost any posture.Finding a universally beneficial expression of any pose that would be appropriate for every practitioner may be next to impossible. But finding good alignment principles that serve every yogi in every pose may be easier than you think. "
