Sridaiva Bowspring System:

Who is it for?

Anyone can learn to do the Bowspring in standing, sitting or any basic posture to increase health, mindfulness, and a positive mindset. The uniform muscle tonus of the Bowspring makes for maximum functionality in ordinary tasks like walking, sitting, housework, and even more specialized exercise activities like biking, jogging, or any athletics.

The Bowspring is an antidote to the health issues arising from our modern, sedentary C-curve posture.

The Bowspring alignment is also highly therapeutic for the lower back, neck and shoulders when performed while doing all normal daily activities.

With the Bowspring, students of any age can learn to move with springy agility, graceful lightness, whole body strength, and expanded vitality.

All movement becomes more efficient with the Bowspring - increased power with less force.

Although the Bowspring is a natural, primordial posturing for humans, it has never been systematized into a practice.

New Approach, New Results! 

While the Bowspring is filled with physical benefits, it also offers great mental and emotional health. Since the Bowspring posture positively affects the nervous system and the circulatory system, a student can expect to see better mental focus, emotional clarity and a reduction in stress with regular practice.

The bouncing, hopping, pulsing, rhythmic movement of the Bowspring is also mood elevating! It brings back a youthful, spirited, positivity to one’s outlook on life.

The Bowspring is movement medicine.

Thunder Bay has four brand new Certified Hatha Yoga Instructors.  The intensive 21 day training was a huge success.  What some of the students had to say:

"It was an intense training, but it went by fast.  I prefer the 21 day intensive."

"I will never look at a yoga class the same again.  The alignment principles really work."

"Noelle is an amazing instructor.  She made learning fun and really cared that we understood. I enjoyed the field trips!"

Learning to set the foundation

Learning to create themes.  Based on my book: "What Makes Your Heart Sing?"

Growing Roots

I am so excited to be doing Yoga Teacher Training in Thunder Bay.  Partially, because it's my home town, partially because I love to teach, and partially because these particular students will be the very first in CANADA to be trained in Growing Roots.

Growing Roots is a radical new philosophy of yoga asana that will change the way we move our bodies in a yoga class.

Focus is on alignment and working with myofascia lines, natural curves of the spine and energy.

Each student who graduates from the program will bring their unique-ness to their class by learning how to create and weave a theme through the asana.

Each student who graduates from the program will be the catalyst for change; both physical change and mental/emotional change.

Each student who graduates from the program will be the light that leads others out of darkness.

Thunder Bay is the place to be!  Growing Roots is the future of yoga.
