SPECIAL CLASS: SUBTLE FORMS OF YOGA
April 14th, 2021 18:30-20:00 @ YouTube Live
In this class we will focus on the more subtle forms of the yoga practice, we will explore awakening our pelvic floor and naval regions and integrate these complex patterns into our regular yoga practice. These patterns are called in the yoga terminology - "Mula Bandha" and "Uddiyana Bandha".
When it comes to the subtle forms of yoga practice, one must create the conditions that allow these patterns to arise, and then let the outcome be as it is, thus a certain amount of surrender is required.
It is more suited for those with some yoga experience, but complete beginners can join as well and receive some benefits.
This class will take place on the YouTube Live platform

hatha-vinyasa yoga
A breath-centered practice.
Suitable for all levels and anyone 16 or older
Description:
A yoga method which is based on linking movement with breath in an intelligent mindful way and finding a balance between effort and ease. Part of the practice is a flow of movement and posture as one is "riding" the breath, the other part involves holding postures for a little longer while maintaining the internal flow in a meditative quality. This kind of practice has a calming effect on the mind and the nervous system, it also enhances strength and flexibility, and gives an overall feeling of well-being and health.
yoga for emotional healing
Special yoga techniques that address trauma and grief, which we all suffer from to some level
Suitable for all levels and anyone 16 or older
Description:
In this class we will practice specific yoga techniques that target our mental and emotional state directly. We will learn and practice breathing exercises, we will chant mantras from the yoga tradition, we will work with our subtle body, get familiar with prana (subtle energy), we will meditate and also use group dynamic techniques.
Yoga, at it's essence, is a healing methodology. The original yogis realized that the body-mind-breath are one and discovered ways to increase the state of peace and wellbeing and decrease suffering and distress. We all need healing, whether it's from trauma, grief, depression or anxiety, or in a more preventative way of re-patterning our self-harming tendencies.
This class is open to all people, from all backgrounds, with any level of experience in yoga or other contemplative practices. Important disclaimer: this practice does not substitute therapy of any kind, if you suffer from any condition it is highly recommended that you seek professional help.
