Positive Force Yoga Alignment System

The Positive Force Yoga System is a clear, logical system for teaching correct alignment of Yoga Asanas.

"It occurred to me over the years of practicing yoga that there are really simple patterns of the feet, legs, pelvis torso, head and arms that are repeated over and over again in various postures. It is like Mexican Food; you have salsa, cheese, beans, lettuce and guacamole mixed up in a bunch of different ways to make Tostadas, Burritos, and Enchiladas."

In the same way, in this Positive Force Yoga System course we will see that most yoga poses can be made up of:

7 basic foot patterns,

3 wrist positions,

3 positions of the torso,

4 positions of the pelvis

3 ankle positions and

6 fundamental arms patterns.

If yoga practitioners can learn these basic patterns as building blocks for all yoga poses from the most complex to the most basic, then suddenly Yoga poses will become more easy to understand. The method is to teach yoga practitioners basic anatomical reference points. We can then line these reference points in the body to create basic patterns. If the student can maintain that alignment of all the reference points and not "go around" them in order to go deeper into the pose, then the yoga experience will become safer, more therapeutic, more fun and will facilitate better 'energy flow'.

It is my hope that everyone who practices in our yoga class can eventually do this course. Suitable for all levels from beginner yogis to yoga teachers.
