Alignment is the term we use in yoga to describe the precise way to do any given pose in order to maximize its benefits and minimize the risk of injury. Alignment is intended to create a stable foundation for a safe practice, to allow your body to open in new ways, and to reduce your risk of injury. Wear and tear on joints and supporting tissues happens over time, so many yoga students find themselves with repetitive use ailments years into their practices and have to break long-established patterns to remake their poses in healthier ways. With Alignment yoga, one can make sure that each pose, action, and muscular activation is distinct. One can focus awareness in ways that spotlight details and specificity. Alignment yoga provides each breath in a pose to reveal greater levels of complexity and articulation.
