Subtle Bandhas: A Yin Yoga Experience, Saturday May 4, 4:30-6:00 at the Burlington Yoga Conference In this Yin Yoga class we will explore the anatomy of the three Bandhas or energy seals, Moola Bandha, Udijana Bandha and Jalandhara Bandha. Often misunderstood, Bandhas contain and direct energy in the body. In the beginning Bandhas require effort yet with practice we learn to engage the Bandhas on an increasingly subtle level. This class will teach you to find Bandhas in a relaxed way, use bandhas in your yoga practice, and deepen your understanding of the subtle body. You will leave feeling energized and connected.  Register here.
