Tensegrity is the word Buckminster Fuller used to describe the combination of strength and resiliency found in the geodesic domes he invented. We’ll explore how this principle applies to asana practice as we seek to optimize the shape of many domes naturally found in the body, such as in the hips, diaphragm and roof of the mouth. In particular, we will investigate whole bone movements, and the ways that bones can act as levers on each other to improve the overall tensegrity of our poses. One beauty of this approach is that it takes you deep into yoga anatomy, but does not require memorizing any Latin names or complex muscle attachments! $45 pre-registered; $50 after July 6.
