With Ana and Gwen
This magical and alchemical day will be for those yoga practitioners who want to deepen their yoga practice and experience, through the embodiment of the physical, the more subtle realms of universal consciousness and wisdom.
Together we will explore a unique and transformational practice using eight techniques of Yoga, linked in a choreographic flow sequence where you’ll observe the fluctuations of the mind and will be led to higher states of consciousness.
These eight techniques will be performed in the following sequence:
Mudra - hand gesture to enter a state of receptiveness.
Puja - sensory experience where we’ll offer our energy and gratitude, honouring and communicating with our higher Self.
Mantra - we’ll use mantras as a vibration tool to clean the nadís (prana channels or meridians), so prana can flow freely throughout the body.
Pranayama - once we have cleaned the nadís, we’ll expand our life energy through breathing exercises.
Kriya - cleansing techniques to purify the body .
Asana – a meditative flow sequence of dynamic and challenging poses with a strong emphasis on strengthening the core muscles, focusing the awareness to the moment and calming the nervous system with fluid transitions, linking intentional breath with conscious movement.
Yoga Nidra - guided relaxation.
Samyama – guided meditation.
This workshop will conclude with a grounding, calming and restorative yin practice to allow us to integrate our learning and deeply explore and connect with our inner landscape.
