Smart Ass, Dumb Ass  ::  June 29 Do you tightly grip your butt muscles with all of your might in yoga poses or is there a “lazy ass” you may not be aware of? Leslie writes for Yoga Journal, has conducted groundbreaking studies with UCSF and presents globally. Leslie developed it as an extension of her work with the pelvic floor and noticing how many yogis/yoginis are not using their buttocks muscles properly. This workshop will give you a deeper understanding of the anatomy used in standing poses and hip opening poses. As a result you will experience familiar poses in an unfamiliar way.
