Description
About the Retreat
If you love your yoga practice and want to learn more about anatomy, alignment, and most importantly how to make it relevant and right for your body and mind…. then this course is for you…
Each day there will be an early morning pranayama and meditation session followed by an Ashtanga Mysore style self practice class. In the afternoons we will look at key aspects of the practice such as backbends, forward bends, twists and vinyasas. We will make the anatomy clear and relevant with practical exercises so you can experience it in your body as well as understanding what is happening.
We aim to give you a working knowledge of
- which muscles are being activated (stabilised) or stretched in the different asana.
- what is happening in each pose in terms of alignment.
- and most importantly, what is the right approach for your body.
We will also look at the underlying physiology: the role of breath and the nervous system in yoga asana and how we can use this to deepen our practice mentally and physically.
Each evening we will end with a session of slow deep poses in a yin/restorative style followed by pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra.
We will also include an introduction to yoga philosophy and a chance to practice some of the more energetic practices such as chanting, mudras and krias. The philosophy will focus on exploring the roots of modern yoga and what are we actually doing in our asana practice…
