Working with the internal art of being in “Vertical Alignment" will be investigated, as will the well-grounded positions associated with the martial arts concept of “Stance before Striking the Pose” be explored & applied to the practice of different categories of Poses.  An overview of the Fundamental Postures associated with the various categories will be presented to support application of the alignments that help to advance the practice & teaching of vinyasa. Additional alignment principals will be put into action & the tools of balance using the" feet & hand points" & the pads of the fingers/toes as "points of extension." The alignment principals of "Internal & External Rotation" will also be presented in relation to the categories of poses. The use of language & voice when teaching these fundamental postures will also be explored along with the experience of receiving verbal cues & adjustments to help build on the vocabulary development .
