The Movement of Breath and Wisdom of Heart
Friday- 17.30-19.30
Dedicated to the practices of Pranayama in the lineage of Kaivalyadham as well as reflections around yogic wisdom teachings and the Buddha Dharma – this lovingly crafted session opens up our weekend by establishing a common ground from where transformation can take place.
Master Class: An Embodied Approach to Ashtanga Yoga
Saturday & Sunday 9.00-12.00
In these dynamic practice sessions, we develop a deeper understanding for Ashtanga Yoga as an instrument for insight, inviting us to illuminate our heart through the intelligence of our body.
We move through key elements of our sequence with an explorative mindset, looking at common physical and energetic actions to help cultivate an attuned practice rooted in yogic principles.
These profoundly comprehensive master classes will open up new dimensions in your practice that we will continue to expand on in the Mysore sessions that follow the weekend.
Asana Inquiry: Awareness, Principles & Skills
Saturday 14.00-16.30/17.00
Cultivation of internal and physical awareness- and observation skills lie at the heart of an embodied approach to Ashtanga Yoga. When we allow the beauty and form of each Asana to be an invitation for inquiry, we open our practice to endless new pathways for learning and growth.
This session is designed to support teachers and practitioners wishing to develop practical skills and clear understanding of the art of alignment, adjustments – and to uncover the dynamics that shape the methods we teach and learn through.
Centering & Satsang
Sunday- 14.00-16.00
This last afternoon session, we come together for a centring meditation practice, shared reflections, as well as offer space for Satsang – discussion and inquiries around the practices and teachings of yoga.
Meditation & Mysore Practice
Monday, Tuesday- 7.00-10.00
We open these mornings together with Mindfulness Meditation, cultivating deep awareness aligning body, breath, heart and mind. Kia guides us through the beginning of practice to set a common intention, before continuing with Mysore Style at our own rhythm. This is a wonderful opportunity to fully anchor the teachings from the previous days in your personal practice, while receiving individual guidance to further deepen your experience.
All levels welcome but you need to be able to practice Mysore Style Self-Practice
