The Power of The Breath – with Flo Fenton

Yoga is union. The union of Body, Breath and Mind forms the first ‘rung’ on the yoga ladder. But how aware are you of your breath during your asana practice-and how much importance do you give to the quality of your breath?

 

Breath is the vehicle of prana. Unless the breath is free to move, prana cannot move freely, and the benefits of our practice are lost. For the breath to be consistent and subtle, we must truly inhabit the meaning of asana in each pose-that is each posture must be steady, and comfortable-with no strain.

 

Join Flo at Sukha Mukha Yoga for a two day exploration of making breath the focus of your practice-and be challenged in a whole new way!

Flo Fenton
Has been practicing yoga since 1991, and teaching since 1997. Trained by masters of Iyengar, Astanga, Satyananda and Viniyoga traditions, Flo’s focus is on finding our natural ease within the postures, and on cultivating an ever deepening awareness of the relationship between the body, the breath, and our state of mind. ‘Paring back’ each pose and starting always from the essential foundation of each posture, we build awareness of where we can remain with comfort in each pose, through the medium of graceful, flowing sequences in synchrony with the breath.

Her style is both meditative and enlivening, balancing the active and the passive sides of our nature.

As we focus within, developing the capacity to witness ourselves, the sessions themselves become a form of Yoga Therapy, which flows out into our lives beyond the class-room.
Flo is based in Suffolk Park, Byron Bay and is director of Intouch Yoga. She holds retreats, workshops and Level 1 and 2 teacher trainings as well as community classes and private yoga therapy sessions.
