Weekend workshop

Friday, 30 August 2013

• 17:00-20:00 Seminar: Build your foundation - The standing postures
  
  Through detailed analysis and fun partner work you will feel how your legs are your connection to the power center in your pelvis and to the Earth below. The standing postures are perhaps the most healing series of movements in the Ashtanga practice. When done with healthy alignment these humble series of postures build your foundation, connection to the ground and sense of inner awareness. In this workshop learn how the structural foundation for forward bends, inversions and deep hip opening work is set up in the standing series of Ashtanga yoga. Gain a new found appreciation for this foundational work of yoga!

Saturday, 31 August 2013

• 09:30-11:30 Guided class
• 13:30-16:30 Seminar: Twist into your center
  
  Deep twisting increases energy levels, cleanses the body and opens the mind to new levels of awareness. Find the perfect balance between activation and release in this new approach to twisting. Learn healthy technique to increase flexibility in your spine and shoulders while creating solid foundation in your pelvis. Use the core strength of the body to support the twisting and extension. You will have fun with many levels of twists and even use the twisting position to enter some challenging arm balances!

Sunday, 1 September 2013

• 09:30-11:30 Guided class
• 13:30-16:30 Seminar: Inversions, headstands & arm balances
  
  Learn practical tools to turn upside down with stability, tranquility and grace. Gain a thorough understanding of the anatomical patterns at play in your body while inverted. Detailing the shoulder mechanics helps you integrate your arms, spine, ribcage and hip to create a solid platform for accessible and pleasurable inversions whether on your head, hands or elbows.
