Exploring The Foundations of Yoga January 16th, 2016

“Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are” (Jason Crandell)

The new year is the time for new beginnings!

Bring up your curious, beginner` s minds and join Natasa & Mayka in exploring the foundations of yoga with the first workshop at Yoga Shala of the new year. Build, strengthen, refresh and refine your practice with us; whether you are new to yoga or a regular practitioner, the workshop offers something to explore for all. There are no limits in deepening the knowledge about yoga so join us at Yoga Shala on 16th of January 2016 for 3 hours of quality time from 10am-1pm. Feel free to bring your loved one and introduce him/her into yoga practice too!

The workshop is designated for yoga beginners to build and strengthen their practice by understanding the yoga fundamentals and for the improvers who wish to brush-up and refresh their knowledge. Hatha Yoga students of any levels may find the workshop useful for introduction to the Vinyasa yoga-the yoga flow and characteristics of its practice (ujjayi breath and bandhas-energy locks). Except of the practical part, the fundamentals of the Yoga philosophy will be discussed to give you basic insights of the secrets behind the yoga system, along with the tips for your yoga practice. Your curious mind will have the opportunity to unfold and you will be able to discuss any concerns you may have about yoga and progress in your practice. Rich, informative handouts will be provided for reference, with recommended reading, so your exploration can continue in your own time.

The workshop will guide you through:

- Background on yoga philosophy, yoga styles and principles of yoga practice, understanding the essence of the practice of the postures

- Practice of breath awareness, pranayama and bandha-energy locks

- Asana part- Introduction to the Yoga flow- detailed practice of the poses of Sun Salutations A & B, followed by guided flow; Restorative-Yin yoga

- Siting guided meditation

- Group discussion

The costs of the workshop is 20 Eur per person.
