In the Asana Lab course, Judith and Mireia start from the mother poses: a few basic positions from which all others derive. If you know them deeply, you understand any new pose you meet.
Why start here
- Each family of poses shares the same alignment logic: understand the mother and you understand the children.
- It lets us adapt poses to each body, because we know the aim of each one.
- It builds confidence: we know where to place the foundations and what to engage.
The families
Poses can be grouped by the movement of the spine and the base: standing and balancing poses, forward folds and hip openers, backbends, twists, inversions and arm balances. Each family has a reference pose containing the principles of the rest.
The small details
What transforms practice are the nuances: where the weight goes in the feet, how the pelvis is placed, how the spine lengthens before twisting. Applied with attention, these details completely change how we feel a pose we’ve done for years.
If you want to go deeper, Asana Lab is an online course designed exactly for that.
