A workshop with Michael Lucey, Afternoon Class
with Michael Lucey

Recently in his teaching, Prashant Iyengar has been encouraging us to consider how our asana practice should involve more than just "doing" asana. He has suggested, among other possibilities, that we think of an asana practice as an occasion of "reading" and "being read." We can use our body, our breath, and our mind in our asana practice to do various kinds of reading of what is going in the way body, mind, and breath interact. 

But as we practice, we are also "being read" by the asanas we engage with. Learning to be attentive to this can influence both how and what we practice. 

 In the afternoon we will work on inversions and pranayama and focus in particular on how the breath reads us and how we can use it to read ourselves.
