ROPE WALL SERIES
with Karen O'Lone
Dates: Mondays, Oct. 28-Nov. 18, 2019 Time: 3:45p – 5:15p
Normal Heights - East Room
One of the best props in yoga is the Rope Wall!
Practicing on the ropes can lead to a better understanding of some postures, deepen others, and allow one to access postures that may seem out of reach in a traditional mat class. For example, the use of the ropes can help a student to better understand the actions required of the back leg in a standing posture like Warrior 1; may deepen a student's standing forward bend; and, can help a student access the benefits of an inversion by helping to hold the student in position.
Early-bird Rate: $64 for all 4 classes in the series if registered by 10/11/19.
Please contact your teacher, Karen O'Lone at [email protected] with any questions, more information and to register.
