This year, I have chosen to focus on the creation of new spaces to breathe through the exploration of spirals, waves and eights.
We will get to know different pranayamas (specific breathing exercises) before, during and after the active yoga component of the workshop. The intonation and transition into mantras will also be part of the seminar.
Respectfully adhering to the yoga tradition instilled in me by Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, Mysore, South India, I have chosen to weld multiple yoga styles to create a new whole. I personally love to combine litheness, strength, balance and stillness in my practices.
We will ease into the sequences of the sun salutations (Surya Namaskar) and reach more intense Asanas (postures) after a longer warm-up phase. We will alternate between gentle Vinyasa (movement flow) and postures that are held longer. There will be plenty of time to grow into postures, all while paying attention to detail and alignment. I will draw on knowledge from Applied Anatomy and Spiraldynamik®, which offer a clear basis for our breath to fully develop. Likewise, knowing how to get out of postures plays an important role in our internalisation of the state of meditative practice/being.
This workshop is for all those who seek more respiratory volume, a calmness and serenity and expanded horizons. Through individually chosen paths, yoga can lead to the essence of movement and being.
