KRIYA/ASANA/PRANAYANAMA WORKSHOP
with Petros Haffenrichter, Advanced Certified Teacher, Jivamukti Munich
Saturday and Sunday
March 20th and 21st
2:00pm-4:30pm
£35 each or £60 for both
Patanjali describes ashtanga yoga, the eight-limbed yoga path in his Yoga-Sutras. A possible approach to an open perspective, deep understanding and the experience of our unlimited potential and creativity. The different practices allow us to slowly sharpen our focus on the unchangable true nature of our existence, which we eventually meet within us, our way of living, our diet, social conditioning - our definition of what's real or not (mostly given through the collective consciousness of our environment) and our perception. Based upon those principles, an honest view of our own truth covered by this veil, becomes rather difficult. In these workshops we will approach parts of these practices and establish a possible connection to our greater potential.
With kriyas and the practices of nada-yoga (the yoga of sound) we will clense our koshas (body-layers) deeply - so a feeling of clarity and balance can arise. When the body, mind and breath are cleared and opened through those practices, we set the base for a dynamic, challenging asana-practice. What we started with kriyas, we will continue with asana on a more subtle level. Becoming aware of the energy within us, we will then begin a journey towards our very core - through pranayama, conscious, focused breathing we eventually arrive at a point of clarity, peace and freedom.
Finally, here we find total silence.
A silence that doesn't occur through the outside, but arises from within, with a smile....

TWISTING WORKSHOP with cat
Self-help for IMMS: “I, ME, MINE Syndrome”
SATURDAY, APRIL 24th
2:00-4:30pm
£35
In order to arrive at the ever-expansive, compassionate heart centre of anahata chakra, renunciation of the I, ME, MINE aspects in manipura chakra is necessary. This is where the ego, sense of individual self and limited (as well as limiting) personal concerns reside. Twisting facilitates an upward ascent of energy through the central channel of shushumna nadi, bringing one to the doorway of universal love and compassion, enabling one to care for others as much as, or even more than, oneself.
Twisting asanas can be mentally calming for the mind and physically detoxifying for the internal organs. To achieve those benefits, first and foremost, the seat…the grounding force…of every asana should be well established and full of grace before lengthening and spaciousness can occur. This workshop will delve into the ‘root’ of an unsteady foundation which can lead to self–consciousness (affiliation with the ego) instead of “Self”- awareness (connection to the Divine within).
A personal donation will be made to charities supporting children in India www.saraswatishands.org (lady ruth’s project)…an opportunity to look after someone other than oneself.
ALSO AVAILABLE/BY DONATION:
RECORDING ON CD-YAMAS/NIYAMAS LECTURE 12/12/09....PRICELESS!
