Reflex Body...Reflex Mind
Join Yoga Synergy’s Simon Borg-Olivier for a workshop focusing
on awakening the energy of your spine.
The conscious mind can only focus on a maximum of about 40
things at once, while the unconscious mind can focus on about 40
million things at once. During this weekend you will be shown how
to take advantage of spinal reflexes using the methods of traditional
hatha yoga. Once your practice is directed in this way your mind
starts to behave in a reflex manner and you find yourself doing yoga
as opposed to learning yoga.
Viparita Karani Mudra: Headstand and Shoulderstand workshop
Viparita Karani mudra, which includes inversions such as headstand
and shoulderstand, is highly regarded in hatha yoga mythology for
many valid reasons. In this special session you will be taught the
necessary prerequisites and releasing postures needed before you
can safely do headstand and shoulderstand. These prerequisites
and releasing postures are valuable practices for anyone who wishes
to develop trunk and neck strength as well as increase mobility and
relieve pain in the upper back and neck. Those who can successfully
do these practices will also be taken through some variations of
headstand and shoulderstand.
