Workshop description:
When we link breath and movement, we discover an essential connection to our postures, one that can illuminate and inform how we practice, simultaneously building heat and focusing the mind. Whatever your level of experience, this workshop will help you refine both your postures and your attention, allowing you to find a clarity and ease in your practice that will translate into greater freedom in body and mind. While the emphasis will be on asana, the goal will be to use the experience on the mat as a catalyst for greater self-knowledge.
Friday 13 – 16:
Teacher's Intensive; Take flight – the art of teaching arm balances
For many students, arm balances seem like a family of poses designed for another species. When we present them as reconfigurations of other more familiar poses, however, the love affair begins. Combining strength, flexibility, focus, and poise, these postures become wonderful vehicles for introspection, exploration, and self-discovery, empowering your students to experience themselves in a whole new way.
Saturday 10 – 13:
Open workshop; Joyous backbends - set your spine free
Backbends can be some of the most liberating and exhilarating poses in Yoga. Sometimes, however, they create feelings of compression and discomfort instead of openness and freedom. The solution lies in understanding how to take pressure off the spine. Using a sequence of progressively more challenging backbends, we will explore the alignment and preparatory poses that allow the spine to move freely so you can experience the true bliss of these transformative postures.
Saturday 14.30 – 16.30:
Open workshop; Fearless upside down – demystifying headstand & shoulderstand
Often described as the King and the Queen of the asana, for many students Headstand and Shoulderstand instead end up being the proverbial pain in the neck. With both poses it’s a combination of openness and strength in the upper body that will protect the vulnerable cervical spine and allow one to experience the delights of inversion. Discover how thoughtful preparation and a clean foundation can equip students to go upside down without trepidation or injury, and stay there with confidence and comfort.
Sunday 10 – 13:
Open workshop; Open your hips - and open the door to everything else
When our range of motion is compromised in a given area, the surrounding joints can be vulnerable. In the case of tight hips, the knees and the lower back are at risk, leading to discomfort and sometimes injury. Through a dynamic sequence of standing, seated and supine poses we’ll open the hips in a variety of directions, and then discover how flexibility in the hips translates into freedom in the rest of the body, both on the mat and off.
Varmt välkommen!
