3 ifs [Intermediate/advanced level] - Infinite Body Yoga with Katerina Wen

At the height of my yoga teaching career, I encountered a life changing experience with illness and injuries that led me to discover the magic healing power that is encoded in the symbol of infinity (figure 8), and ways to resuscitate a broken body and spirit through harmonic, structured, flowing movement. Ever since the, my work has been developing and sharing the infinite potential of this language. Here is an example of how I work with all level students. Preparing their bodies to go deeper, and encouraging their mind to be in sync with what the most essential - 3 ifs.

Strength level: 4.5
Flexibility level: 5
Stamina level: 5

This practice is inspired by the 3ifs - by Rabbi Hillel ( 110 BCE -10 CE): “If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” I hope you chew on them, and live them well.

Infinite Body Yoga is based on the principle of Grounded Body, Fluid Mind / Fluid Body, Grounded Mind ®. It is a somatic movement practice utilizing fluid, continuous sequencing to induce re-patterning of body posture & awareness, correlative enhancement of cognitive focus, mental-emotional balance, and interoceptive consciousness. This fluid, yet internally consistent practice enables people to connect introspectively with the life currents that run throughout their body, and fortifies them to better cope with the inevitable challenges of aging, emotional stress, injury and/or disabilities, retaining serenity and joy. Targets included in this method: strengthening and conditioning of the ligaments, core and other skeletal muscles; spiralic re-calibration of the spine; deep breathing exercises to oxygenate the whole body & rejuvenate vital organs; somatic stimulation for the cardiovascular, metabolic, & respiratory systems; release of tension, tightness, or holding patterns causing physical restrictions or pain; calibration of the right and left hemispheres of the brain to foster emotional balance; balancing of neurotransmitters; deep relaxation to help generate quietude & efficient sleep cycles; stimulation of bone remodeling.
