Understanding the breath is the key to understanding the physical practise of yoga.  Embodying that understanding in a natural way is one of the purposes of pranayama. One of my  aims  is to use these  Friday sessions to help unveil the nature of breathing, as well as to explore the relationship that it has with providing natural support within our posture work.  This will naturally lead on to the more subtle and deep aspects of the work, which I will then organise into a course.

This is deep and transformative work, and you will need to have worked with me before to attend.

 from June 2008, I will be organising these sessions into a course structure, covering  the following  subjects....

  • Advanced asana – sitting postures
  • Pelvic bowl/sacral/lumbar/abdominal/ diaphragmatic responses
  • Thoracic spine and ribcage/diaphragmatic cervical and occipital responses
  • Voice and breathing – mantra, kirtan – the simple solution
  • The great 'smiles' of the body - clarifying mula, uddiyana and jalandhara bandhas
  • The bandhas & breathing - influencing movements of apana/prana/samana/udana
  • Movements of prana, the 3 main nadis, and gravity (pranayama)
  • The physicality of chakra and movements of prana through the nadis – understanding it all in today’s language
  • Adjustment of the mind, body and prana in sitting
  • Mudras and movements towards and within stillness
  • Tapping into the source - the power of stillness

 For this, I will be looking for a core group of people to work with, so we can delve into the more advanced aspects of yoga practice....

Each subject will be thoroughly explored and is likely to be covered over at least 3 consecutive workshops...

Cost:
£96 for 8 sessions (£12/session)
or £18 per session drop in if you are unable to commit to the course (space permitting)

 Preference of place will go to those that have completed Part one of my course for teachers and dedicated practitioners.  But of course it is also open to those of you that have  had a good broad experience of the work of Vanda Scaravelli, or just if you have worked with me consistantly for some time.
