Alignment: Does It Matter?

August 21, 2023The Funny Thing About YogaAlignment: Does It Matter?Episode No. 28This week Giana leads with an intro that addresses new listeners, she shares information about upcoming yoga retreats, and she gets personal about whats been going on for her. Then Bradshaw joins the conversation and they begin to talk about Alignment and pose the question: Is there a right or wrong way to do things? They both share their viewpoints on alignment and discuss if the rules matter and how or why things might be altered. In doing so they give three examples: warrior one, wheel, and triangle pose. Of course they can’t resist tangents, advice for new teachers, and funny stories.Thank you for listening and as always, rate, review, and subscribe! 00:00 Intro00:30 Welcome Gigglers - theres so much to update you on!06:18 Bradshaw Joins in the Convo07:35 Does Alignment Matter?08:39 Bradshaws Thoughts on This11:22 Giana Shares her Thoughts13:22 Different Variations of Warrior 1 20:20 Having a Broad Perspective21:00 Different Variations of Wheel Pose26:20 Different Variations of Triangle Pose 35:52 Linear Thinking Versus Nuance 39:03 Critical Thinking, Growth, and Discernment42:22 The Funny Thing about Yoga48:00 Closing Thoughts and OutroFollow Us on Instagram:@TheFunnyThingAboutYoga @CayaYogaSchool @GianaGambino @BradshawWishJoin our Substack Newletter to Receive extra bonus FUNNY THING content:https://thefunnythingaboutyoga.substack.com/?r=2m1azy&utm_campaign=pub&utm_medium=webJoin us in Starved Rock: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/starvedrockJoin us in Nicaragua: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/nicargua Be Featured on the Podcast: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSck2nTNc_UlcCKBhZId5DmDwoU6aslkFfGKtdz-1uSo-HNY8g/viewformSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/contactFollow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefunnythingaboutyoga/Learn more about C.A.Y.A.
