Yoga
Did you know that the stiffest muscle of your body is in your mind? We are mostly limited by our mind. By learning to ease and relax your mind you will find freedom in your body and flow with lightness in your practice.
About the morning classes:Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic and flowing Yoga using free body sequencing, in movement or in stasis. Guided by the rhythm of each breath, deep and conscious it becomes one big flowing sequence done with awareness and joy, a moving meditation.
This approach includes many variations of Asanas. The use of successive placement of the body permits to go deeper into the final Asana and allows a precise understanding from a new point of view. Each Yoga session will go deeper in the flow and will be different.
With a practical step by step program, you will practice a wide variety of Asanas, learn to correct your alignment, guided by hands on adjustments from the teacher.
In a week’s time you will feel taller, have built up stamina and a stable core strength. You will learn to release tensions and practice with tranquillity and ease.
Suitable for all: the classes are designed in such a way that both the beginners and the regular practitioner will benefit from the classes. Suitable variations are always proposed along the way.
As the days pass, the rhythm of the class and the number of Asanas will increase. Each student is invited to keep listening to the energy of the moment, practising within their own body’s limitations, with no expectations of what could (or could not) be done before.
Each day we will have a point of focus: breathing technique, Udhjaï Breath, applied to flowing Vinyasas and simple Asanas. Introduction to movement initiating from the Bandhas. Introduction to the correct placement of the weight in the feet.
Emphasis on the foundation of the Standing Asanas, and where to place the mind’s attention. Introduction of the tools of Mindfulness and how to integrate them in our Yoga practice, and further ahead in our daily life. We will learn to strengthen the core and to release tensions in the lower back. We will learn to smile and be content in the moment, changing your relation to the tensions around. As mums, we are very much solicited sometimes, we give over and over, and we need to know how to recharge ourselves.
There will be the subtle thread of the Divine Feminine woven through each practice.
For the April retreat, you will be blessed with the wisdom and serenity of Opale, and for the May/June retreat, you will be safe in the hands of the honey-voiced Kerry Wilde.
