Julie Gudmestad Julie Gudmestad, PT, C-IAYT has been active in Portland, Oregon, as a yoga teacher and licensed physical therapist for over 40 years. She has integrated her western medical knowledge with yoga training into a unique teaching style, and regularly teaches anatomy and asana workshops throughout...

The most foundational yoga pose of all is Tadasana or Mountain Pose. Tadasana demands just one simple thing: that we stand with good posture in a way that supports the natural curves of a healthy spine.

In our Western sedentary society, however, it's surprisingly difficult for most yoga students to achieve correct alignment in Tadasana. Modern life conspires against good posture; we spend our days sitting at desks, staring at computer screens. The result is an epidemic of back and neck problems linked to poor posture and bad alignment habits.

Regular yoga practice offers a great pathway to perfecting alignment and gradually eliminating posture problems. Unfortunately, our habitual posture habits and misalignment issues tend to carry over into our yoga practice, often causing us to perpetuate habits that don’t serve us, rather than eliminating them.

Learn how to assess and better understand the unique posture issues and misalignment patterns in your own body, and how they affect your yoga practice. In this course, Iyengar yoga teacher Julie Gudmestad will show you the 5 keys to understanding your body better and how to assess which posture habits, muscular imbalances, and alignment issues that may be holding you back in your yoga practice.  
 

This Course Also Includes:

Yoga Practice Video: Enjoy two yoga practice videos that accompany this course designed by Julie Gudmestad.

Recordings of All Webinar Sessions: It’s generally acknowledged that many people only retain 10-20 percent of what they learn in a workshop. You will get access to the recordings of all webinar sessions - both MP3 (downloadable) and MP4 (streaming online), enabling you to go back and listen to the workshop as many times as you like.

Transcripts of All Sessions: Ever wanted to refer to a certain part of a course? Even the best note takers miss a point every so often. With the transcripts of the webinar sessions, you can go back and refer to particularly important passages or clarify sections you were in doubt about.
