Program
FRI 24 September 2021 - 19:30-21:30 - CENTERING SKILLS
Locate Your Center, and Relate to Your Circumference
All yoga talk aside, we all have an innate understanding that there is a link between our posture and our psychology in that we all respond to one another's body language, more or less consciously, more or less compassionately. This works both ways. We may also influence how we feel by altering how we posture ourselves, and recent findings in neuroscience validate this. Since yoga postures are revelatory and dynamic examples of our everyday posture, they offer a range of opportunities to self-adjust. In this way, among others, yoga asana can be seen as a necessary preliminary to meditation practice.
The goal of this class is to learn self-adjusting techniques that can facilitate well-adjusted posture and perspective. Simple concepts that describe how the body fits together will be made clear within the context of a sequential asana practice. The goal is to develop the skill to self-adjust.
SA 25 September 2021 - 9:00-11:00 - HANDSTANDS, HANDSTANDS, AND ALSO HANDSTANDS
Transcend the Fear and Discover the Joy of Handstands
Improve Your Handstand Technique by learning to:
- Use the hand as a map of the entire body, allowing adjustments to the placement of the entire body by sensing where the weight falls into the hand.
- Use your legs! The sign of a complete handstand beginner is usually that the legs are dull and lifeless or flailing. Learning to use the legs well lightens the load on the upper body allowing for a lighter and more versatile handstand.
- Proper wrist angles for a variety handstands types: people often dive headfirst into handstands and eventually have to back away from them because they over-stress their wrists. Develop the range and stability in the wrists with my *magic* wrist techniques.
- Shoulder and rib cage placement. Differentiation. Hip placement. Pelvic tilt. Foot articulation. All necessary to learn to lift up to handstand with good form. Let's discuss.
- Breath and Bandha: suspend your disbelief! Breath brings Bandhas and Bandhas are real!
SA 25 September 2021 - 14:00-16:00 - SKILLFUL VINYASA
Embody What You Imagine. Develop a graceful and safe yoga asana practice by learning how to connect what you visualize with your actual practice.
This vinyasa class strings together both classical and modern postural adaptations into a complete practice. The main idea is to develop a ‘skillful in means’ or ‘effortless effort’ practice where the many small efforts made to pay attention to seemingly small details, lightens the overall effort required to practice and holds the mind in a peaceful and focused state.
Learn to:
-Mentally “trace” the outer form of your postures to build proprioception.
-Improve spatial awareness by extending lines from your body in the direction in which you intend to move.
-Visualize the shapes you intend to become in order to foresee how one posture complements another, and how an advanced understanding of basic postures makes advanced postures feel basic.
SU 26 September 2021 - 9:00-11:00 - MULTI-INTENSO
A Vigorous Vinyasa Experience
Sets of technical yet exhilarating, complex yet purposeful postural sequences that are mapped out, explained, and broken down into formal details, then put together as a whole while practiced along music. Rhythmic cueing, such as a beat or a voice, is known to improve performance because it incites the body's own intelligence to organize and execute movement and form more efficiently.
Multi-Intenso is David's signature class from the early athletic vinyasa boom in NYC's yoga scene. Now back by popular demand.
SU 26 September 2021 - 14:00-16:00 - THE BASICS OF PHYSICAL ORIGAMI
Simplify How One Posture Folds and Unfolds Into Another
There are only so many ways in which the body is designed to fold. Learn unique and progressive sequences that exemplify how the body is made to fit together. We begin by examining some of the most foundational postures that are necessary to progress towards the vast array of bound and folded yoga postures that one might one day practice. We continue by putting these together into sequences that are worth practicing in repetition.
About David Regelin
David is a traveling yoga teacher based in New York City. Sought after for his workshops and teacher's intensives, his unique talent for simple yet precise articulation of form and technique, echo in the bodies and minds of his students.
As a young teacher, David was at the forefront of what became a popular trend of choreographed vinyasa classes to the sound of live music. He created the "Multi-Intenso" experience, a class that garnered a cult following in New York City. "Multi-Intenso" is a technique based, athletic and dynamic style of yoga centered around handstands. Over time, David's reflective nature and incessant personal investigation into the potential transformative powers that a yoga practice can give, has led him to a more comprehensive approach to how physical form relates to psychological and emotional states. Inclined toward the mystical and timeless, greatly influenced by intensive study with Nevine Michaan, David's practice and teaching has evolved into a more refined adaptation of how an asana (postural) practice can instigate profound mind-body awareness.
