Ramanand Patel will be teaching a focused class on the intricacies of forward bends. At physical level
forward bends facilitate the opening of the hamstrings and the groins as well strengthen the quadriceps
and the back. At organic level they are a boon to the digestive system and tone the abdomen. Correct and
progressive approach to forward bends yields some of the most desirable fruits of deep mental and
emotional introspection. Along with the emphasis of correct breathing the practice opens the door to the
unconcious. Such approach requires actions of backbends and what is known as double action in
Iyengar method. Under careful and experienced instruction of Ramanand be prepared to go deeper in your
forward bend practice. This workshop is appropriate for those who have been practicing yoga for at least
one year.
