Knees in View

A special four-week series
Saturdays In November/December
with Stephanie Quirk

Not Really the Bee’s Knee’s !?!
How can I sit on the floor in Virasana?
A great benefit in all aspects of life comes because we begin a yoga practice. The practice of the asanas brings an embodied experience of contentment and sense of completion. But some poses we try to learn bring us the uncomfortable truth of limitation. Yoga requires a balance of actions and responses, stability as well as pliability and malleability. It is in yoga postures that many of us will encounter a limitation with our knees.
As Mr Ratan Shah of Pune once said ‘Yoga isn’t a race, it’s an obstacle course’ !

This mini-series on the knees is a learning opportunity for both teacher and student to find ways to move forward with intelligent understanding of the asana and the solutions to the limitation at the same time. The series will work through all the categories of asanas commonly practiced. It is not a therapy treatment but an explorative course where the focus is on the necessary interaction we must have with our own embodied state, or our students’ limitations.

Target Audience
Suitable for those with at least 3 months Iyengar yoga experience.
This series will be very helpful even if you have perfectly healthy knees that you want to keep strong and happy as you move into more challenging poses, or if you have knee restrictions, limitations, or weakness that you wish to improve. 
It is also very suitable for teachers seeking to improve their ability to assist students with their knees. 

This series is not suitable in acute situations when the knee is newly or seriously injured or in a very deteriorated state requiring a therapy session. If you are unclear about your suitability, please contact us for advice before registering.
