Philosophy & Pranayama
Friday- 17.30-19.30
Drawing from traditional Yogic and Buddhist teachings, Kia shares reflections and insights, and guides us through classical Pranayamas in the lineage of Kaivalyadham. We deepen our appreciation for the subtleties of breath and its significance in yogic practices and philosophy.
New students are mindfully introduced to traditional Pranayama, whilst those with more experience refine and expand their practice and understanding.
An Embodied Approach to Ashtanga Yoga – Practice, Principles & Philosophy
Saturday & Sunday – 9.00-12.00
In these inspiring and dynamic 3-hour masterclasses, Kia will share insights for developing a deeper experience of Ashtanga Yoga as a pathway back to our innate wholeness. Looking at common physical and energetic principles, we cultivate a fully embodied practice rooted in yogic teachings. We will journey through key elements of the Primary- and Intermediate Series with an explorative mindset. Refining somatic awareness along with skilful means offers us the agency, understanding and confidence to attune our yoga practice intelligently to our individual needs and motivations. It is an approach that yields exceptional rewards as it moves the practitioner towards self-reliance, self-compassion and self-realisation. These profoundly comprehensive sessions will open up new dimensions in your practice that we will continue to explore and expand on in the Mysore sessions that follow.
Asana Inquiry – Awareness, Principles, Repatterning & Discussion
Saturday Afternoon – 14.00-16.30
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 to endless creative opportunities and discover new pathways for healing.
This session is designed to support teachers and practitioners wishing to deepen their understanding of the art of alignment, adjustments and repatterning, as well as uncover the dynamics that shape the methods we teach and learn through.
Satsang
Sunday Afternoon– 14.00-16.00
Satsang means exploring truth in the gathering of ones spiritual community, Sangha. This last afternoon session of the weekend, Kia will guide us in a centring breathing practice as well as offer space for Satsang – discussion and inquiries around the practice and philosophy of yoga.
Meditation & Mysore Practice
Monday, Tuesday morning 6.30-9.30
We open our morning with a guided meditation to align body, heart and mind. Kia may take us through the first standing postures to set a common intention, before we continue into Mysore self practice at your own rhythm.
This is a wonderful opportunity to apply the teachings from the weekend in your personal practice, while receiving individual guidance. With a sincere dedication to the growth and development of each of her students, Kia offers an including, safe and inspiring space open for personal exploration, inquiry and transformation.
All levels welcome but you need to be able to practice Mysore Style Self-Practice.
