A course for dedicated practitioners and teachers Glasgow 2010 A series of weekend workshops to clarify and give form to the fundamental principles behind 'Scaravelli inspired' yoga... the foundation to my teacher training course I am looking to work with a core group of people interested in developing new levels of depth and clarity in their yoga practice. It will run in Glasgow as a series of 12 weekends spread out over 2 years starting 2010. Throughout the course, as well as looking at the specifics of functional structural relationships, we will explore the role of breathing, gravity and the core response in creating freedom and support, as well as how to teach it. |

Please note: Although we will be clarifying the relationships between key structures of the body, this is not an anatomy course … the information I will be giving you will involve references to anatomy, but I believe it is important that course participants to do their own research into the anatomy of what is being taught. The ‘Anatomy of movement’ (ISBN 0-939616-17-3) I find is a useful guide, as well as explaining the terminology. Although it is easy to get the idea that the body works as a pulley/lever type mechanism if you give too much importance to the detail of what muscle does what. There are more recent publications with fantastic illustrations and plates if you are happy to spend a little more money (again you would need to do your own research on this). Certainly an intimate familiarity with the joint and fluid structures of the body is very useful when trying to understand the structure of movement and support, so a good clear picture of the skeleton and body cavities is very much worth developing. I will be setting homeworks that are mostly practical . There is usually also a question set to get you to research the anatomy of what is going on, but I won’t be interested in receiving homeworks that are simply read and copied out of the books – but I am deeply interested in your process, so describing what you discover about your practice and about your own personal physiology having done some research will be very welcome . I will also be very keen for participants to work together in between workshop dates to help each other with what is understood – to thrash out ideas and reveal questions that may not have been answered. I would also like to mention that, in my opinion, understanding the mechanics of yoga is not actually the Yoga itself. However, when we begin to move without conflict within ourselves, a practical philosophy seems to arise naturally and effortlessly from the practice. I am very happy indeed for this phenomenon to be discussed and explored within the course, but I feel it is not my place to attempt to teach anyone philosophy or spirituality … by all means read up on the subject, or we can spend some time in meditation together (which I would like). I believe the practice is a meditation in itself, and it would be nice if we feel free to explore this aspect and its effect on consciousness together. Course attendees get the benefit of attending my regular retreats at a £40 discount ! (subject to availability). I will also offer discounts on workshops outside of the course … My intention is to work deeply and consistently with a core group of inspired and inspiring people. |
