Standing Poses in Purna
Yoga™
Standing poses form
the foundation of asana practice. When
there is alignment in these poses with proper intention, they leave the
practitioner full of vitality. Learn to
use your muscles, your mind and your breath to create alignment and joy in
these foundational postures. Standing poses bring power from the earth into our
bodies, and traditionally have been used to strengthen the legs, which are our
instruments for movement in life. In
this class, Aadil will teach standing poses to strengthen the legs, energize
the pelvis, enliven the body, and cultivate the student’s personal power and
ability to take progressive action in life.
Open to all levels
9 June, Saturday 2pm – 4pm
Inversions in Purna
Yoga™
Inversions are to the
practice of asana what sunlight is to the growth of trees. They are a
fundamental part of progress. They allow
us to get a reversed perspective, both physically and psychologically and are
an offering of all the power cultivated in the standing poses to the wisdom and
love of the heart. Learn the inner
workings of inversions in Purna Yoga
and the effects the pelvic energy has on the heart center in these special
postures.
Open to all levels
10 June, Sunday 10am – 12pm
Connection and Flow in Purna
Yoga™

practice such flowing forms safely and effectively so that you not only avoid
injuries in your shoulders and sacrum, but are able to practice for the rest of
your life.
Open to all levels

Opening the Pelvis, the Heart, and the Throat in Purna Yoga™

strength, focus and power. Learn how to
do beginning backbends safely, with alignment and strength, so that as you move

injury.

About Aadil Palkhivala
Aadil
was conceived because of yoga. His devout Parsee (Zoroastrian) parents had been
unsuccessful in their attempts to have children for seven years, and so they
began studying yoga with B.K.S. Iyengar. He told them that if they were
faithful in their practice, they would soon conceive a child. A year later,
Aadil was born in Bombay.
He
began studying asana with Iyengar at the age of seven and shortly after was
introduced to the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. When Aadil was twenty,
Iyengar encouraged him to embark on his first teaching tour of Europe and North America. Two years later, he awarded Aadil the
Advanced Yoga Teacher’s Certificate.
For
nearly thirty years, Aadil has had a reputation as a “teacher of teachers,” and
many of the world’s top yoga instructors have studied with him. He has a unique
teaching style, mixing melodious instructions with recitations of poetry and
philosophical insights with in-the-moment humor.
An
encyclopedic knowledge of health matters informs Aadil’s teaching. He is a
naturopath licensed by the District
of Columbia, a certified shiatsu and Swedish bodywork
therapist, a clinical hypnotherapist, and an Ayurvedic health practitioner
recognized by the American Ayurvedic Association.
Aadil
is also the author of the three manuals used in his beginning, intermediate,
and therapeutic teacher trainings. He is currently working on an expanded
version of this book for yoga students as well as their teachers. In addition,
he is finishing Passion for Yoga: Purna Yoga, Level One, a practice guide for
beginning yoga students. Aadil has written extensively for Yoga Journal, having
been the Asana Columnist in 2003 and, author of the Teacher’s Column for the
website, as well as the “Asana Expert” for both the magazine and the website.
He is frequently a keynote speaker at national events.
