taught by Arnaud Kancel

This program will be taught in English.

Theme

A practice of introspection, Yoga is sometimes confused with its technical form. The Ashtanga Yoga is a very energizing practice. The conscious dimension is not always present and depends on both the type of teaching that the student has received as well as the student’s temperament. Some approaches reinforce the ego, and others favor an attention to an inner state.

During this workshop, we will study the psycho-physical dimension of posture and movement. The proposal is to understand the true meaning of the practice and to go beyond its apparent physical aspect toward an interior research.

Open to beginners to advanced

Program

Day	Hour	Session
Friday	19:00-21:00	The unity of body, breath and bandhas (2h) The energetic tools of Ashtanga yoga both requires and develops high concentration. For this workshop, we will see how to hold bandhas more easily and how to connect clearly the different aspects of the practice based on the first series of Ashtanga Yoga.
Saturday	9:00-11:30	Asana: to be established in oneself (2h30) One can easily understand the positioning of postures within Ashtanga Yoga by looking at them in familial groups. We will practice the sitting and standing postures in a deconstructed way to understand all possible options and opportunities for progression.
Saturday	14:30-16:30	Padmasana krama : Preparing for Lotus (2h) Iconic posture of yoga, the lotus posture is not always obvious according to the morphology of the hips and pelvis. This series of lotus uses Ashtanga Yoga to study many approaches and variations. It is a long and dynamic class using different postures to open the body and to understand and arrive at the lotus posture.
Sunday	9:00-11:30	Ashtanga & Hatha Yoga : Returning to the Tradition (2h30) Ashtanga Yoga is one of the many schools of traditional Indian Yoga. This workshop will present the history of Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali to Pattabhi Jois. We will also discuss ancient forgotten techniques. Then we will practice the first series of Ashtanga Yoga with traditional Sanskrit count and some of these forgotten techniques.
Sunday	14:15-16:15	Ashtanga Yoga : Second series (2h) Approaching the second series of Ashtanga Yoga with options to make it accessible to all levels.
