Alignment Essentials Worksop
with Serena Orsinger
Whether you're new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, this workshop invites you to tune in and explore alignment from the inside out.
Saturday, July 26, 2025

Sliding Scale: $15-$35

This isn’t about “perfect” poses—it’s about uncovering your unique structural and movement patterns, noticing how they show up both on and off the mat, and cultivating the awareness to move with greater ease, stability, and freedom.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and any postures you’d like to explore more deeply.
What to Expect
Thoughtful instruction and hands-on guidance in a supportive, conversational space
Opportunities to workshop postures, ask questions, and receive personalized feedback
Practices to build awareness of your body’s alignment and habitual patterns
A blend of movement, stillness, and instruction to deepen your connection to your body
What You’ll Gain
Tools to support alignment both on and off the mat
A deeper sense of embodiment and connection to your body’s inner wisdom
Strategies for addressing areas of tension that stretching and strengthening alone haven’t resolved
Confidence to adapt your practice to meet your body’s unique needs
This Workshop is for You If
You want to refine or build your yoga practice in an experiential, accessible, and informative way
You want to learn new ways of modifying your practice to make it more accessible to where your body is at right now and more supportive of aligned growth
You experience areas of discomfort that feel more like connective tissue or nervous system “holdings,” beyond joint pain or muscular tension. Certain areas might feel tight, locked up, or overworked despite efforts to stretch or strengthen
You’re curious about how alignment and embodiment can support self-discovery and healing
The Flow
Gentle, guided exploration of the spine and pelvic floor, including how patterns like anterior and posterior pelvic tilts affect alignment
Workshop essential postures like Downward Dog, Chaturanga transitions, and the Warrior series, exploring them through an anatomical lens while integrating the bandhas (internal muscular “locks” that cultivate strength and energetic focus)
Space to ask questions and workshop additional postures of your choice
