A training-intensive for yoga teachers and inquiring students
Our bodies and minds are in a constant process of change throughout our lives, and each stage has its own challenges and opportunities. This much becomes clear as we mature. And our yoga practice evolves with us, becoming all the more insightful. A truly ‘optimal’ yoga meets us where we are in life, supporting us and addressing obstacles as they arise.
Aging is a natural process, and the downside of this process involves increasing inflammatory conditions in different forms that not only cause pain problems, but also reduce resilience and vitality. This can begin as early as one’s 30’s.
The body has natural built-in mechanisms to counter these inflammatory conditions, and they are all linked to the kinds of movement, breath, and practices of mental focus that are the essence of yoga practice.
This training is about refining these practices to derive fully from them the benefits that they offer.
Through the lens of practice, we’ll be exploring a range of topics, from the central role of joint health and freedom, to principles of ‘fascial fitness’ that refine our approach to ‘stretching’ and strengthening in yoga, to the deeper systems that maintain our resilience and vitality, and are supported by breath and mental practices. A new dimension of this will be to explore the role of mudra in providing support and focus in breath practices especially, refining their effectiveness and benefits.
The themes will be rolled out progressively over the three days, though it is possible to register for single days. All elements of practice will be included in each day!
More information will be presented shortly. Spots limited to 20.
