Whether you're just a few forward folds into your yoga journey, or a veteran instructor, this alignment and hands-on adjustment workshop will deepen your personal practice and forever change the way you look at touch — on and off the mat.
This three-hour Sunday-fun afternoon session will open with a short connection/ice-breaker activity, followed by a ground-and-arrive ten-minute guided meditation and breathwork, then a 60-minute Strong & Slow flow (with plenty of hands-on adjustments :)
During an interactive talk/discussion and demonstrations, Roma will explore the intention and connection of Touch, in general, as well as asana-specific hands-on assists and his own best practices for conscious alignment/refinement through touch.
Then comes the fun part: participants will split into pairs or small groups to adjust each other in various postures and, using the principles previously discussed and demonstrated, improvise to invent their own unique hands-on adjustments. Depending on the number of participants, they will be invited to share and demo in front of the group.
What to expect from this session: Touch and human contact, in a cozy and safe container. Deepening of your understanding of yoga postures and their refinement, through touch and verbal cues. Improvisation, exploration, and play. Fun. A whole lot of oxytocin.
Pricing: €45, €35 with USC check-in. Reserve your spot in advance via the Dharma app or here below.
Date: This will be a series. First one is Sunday, July 6, 15h-18h
ABOUT ROMA
A NYC native, Roma has been living and teaching all over the world since 2017. Whether he’s hosting retreats in dreamy locations in Pacific Mexico, guiding university soccer teams as their Yoga & Mindfulness Coach in Atlantic Canada, or leading surfers through dynamic warm-up sequences before they hit the big waves in Portugal, Roma’s guiding principles are joy through movement, mental and emotional balance, community, and feeling better rolling up the mat than you did when you showed up to class.
Roma enjoys lovingly curated playlists, interesting/challenging transitions and flows, reminding his students not to take themselves too seriously, and writing about himself in the third person.
