Jared McCann: AUG 23-25
Jared McCann is back!
Weekend of Diverse Workshop Classes
AUGUST 23 - 25
JM VINYASA Hips
Friday, 8/23 at 5:00p
This sweaty and fun JM Vinyasa class will focus on standing postures and hip opening postures. We are gonna work that booty and stretch it out. This class begins with a dynamic and sweaty flow and then we hit the floor to explore depth in various hip openers. Certain postures on the floor will be held for longer to give students time to feel and let go if possible. Peak poses include leg behind head, yogi dandasana, vishvamitrasana, and lizard variations. Students do not need to put their legs behind their head to attend this class, modifications will be provided.
Backbends : ALIGNMENT, BANDHA, DRISHTI
saturday, 8/24 at 9:30a
This workshop will warm up with a backbendy vinyasa sequence to heat up the body and then we will focus on the second layer of stability and subtlety in backbending postures - the lower locks and how to incorporate rib closing into backbends. This workshop will cover Wheel Variations, Full Cobra, Full Camel, Forearm scorpion. Jared will also teach various drills to help students work toward and achieve these intermediate poses.
JM VINYASA ARM BALANCES & INVERSIONS
saturday, 8/24 at 3:00p
This is a classic JM Vinyasa class loaded with inversions. Forearm stands, crows, cranes, peacocks, fingerstands...all the birds in the menagerie will be there. Jared will go over correct hand, arm, and shoulder placement for safety and stability in these poses. We will finish the class with handstanding drills. Students will not be able to do all the poses but come with a brave heart and a playfulness to try!
ORIGINAL BIKRAM YOGA + Q&A
Sunday, 8/25 at 9:30a
The original hot yoga sequence! Jared has been teaching this class for 15 years and was his first yoga love when he stumbled into Bikram Yoga Lower East Side at 23 years of age. Jared also won 1st place in the international Bishnu Gosh Yoga Competition in 2012, which is when Bikram’s wife, Rajashree, sent him on his first world tour. The rest is history. Come and enjoy this powerful class led by a Bikram Yoga Champion. Jared’s focus is the Raja Yoga (yoga of the mind) when teaching this class. After the class finishes, we will take 30 minutes to answer questions and workshop any postures that students are curious about.
