Much of yoga asana are dependent on the ability to bend forward. The hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh can limit this action, of course, but there are other factors, which make forward bending difficult. How do the hips, lower back and rotator muscles contribute to a forward bend, for example? Further, what can we do about tight muscles that hold us back in forward bends, and contribute to alignment problems for many yoga practitioners? 
 
This special recorded teleclass with renowned yoga teacher and yoga therapist Judith Hanson Lasater explores the anatomy and kinesiology of forward bends, and discusses some of thecommon limitations many yoga students have and how to overcome them.
 
Judith also touches on the deeper meaning of the surrender it takes, both physically and mentally, to practice forward bends with affection and ease. Mostly discussion, but this one-hour teleclass includes about a 15 minute practice section with alignment technique in forward bends.
