The "Optimal Blueprint" is the master design for the body's potential for optimal alignment and health. It represents the ideal spatial pattern of the body in any position. The "Universal Principles of Alignment" are a set of biomechanical principles that can be applied to all physical positions and postures in order to bring the body into alignment with the Optimal Blueprint. These Universal Principles of Alignment can be organized into five steps for any area of the body. These five common steps alternate between energetic expansion and contraction, reflecting the grand universal pulsation of life. - John Friend, Founder of Anusara Yoga

Come and explore your Optimal Blueprint, as Keric Morinaga and Nicole Honnig teach you how to apply the Universal Principles of Alignment to your poses and your body, both on and off the mat. Students will learn all 5 of the principles and how to apply them to every yoga pose and in daily life. Proper application of the principles facilitates the optimal flow of energy in the body, increasing strength, resilience, and flexibility. The principles protect the body from injury and can also be used to heal injuries. Teachers will be interested in how they can apply the Universal Principles of Alignment to every pose they teach, adding structure and clarity to their instructions.

This 3 hour workshop will include a full-spectrum class, demonstrations, discussion, and hands-on application. Don't worry, you won't be doing yoga for 3 straight hours. We'll take breaks and time to discuss the material.
