Proper body alignment and flexibility are important components of powerful aikido technique. Misalignment triggers our fight and flight responses, making "complete relaxation"--one of Koichi Tohei Sensei's 4 basic principles of aikido--substantially harder to achieve. This special 3-hour intensive will focus on body alignment, relaxation, and aikido technique. The workshop will also address building constructive relationships with training partners and cultivating curiosity.
Josh Paul Sensei will lead the intensive. Paul Sensei is the head instructor of AOSB and a member of the Aikido World Alliance Technical Committee. He is ranked godan Aikikai and is also a 200-hour certified yoga instructor.
