Ashtanga Yoga Weekend

Tuesday 08 january 18:30 - 17:00

"Space: Completeness and Emptiness"

Arnaud Kancel will teach this Ashtanga yoga workshop in English.

These 5 sessions create a link between all components of the Ashtanga Yoga practice. The perception of the subtle body will be approached through postures, helping us to intuit the logic of energy within the different series.

This workshop will focus on refinements that lead us from the physical practice to a state of immanence. Composed of gentle, yet intense sessions, this workshop is accessible to everyone, from beginners trying to improve on the basics to those at an advanced level who will be able to adjust and open their practice.

The Program

FRIDAY EVENING - 18:30-20:30

"Awakening the core of the body"

In this session, we will study the energy of the postures that make up the Ashtanga Yoga practice. After breaking down the different series, we will approach the components and scope of posture practice.

SATURDAY MORNING 9:00-11:00

"Free flow"

We will practice the primary series using techniques that allow us to move into the postures so that they can be executed harmoniously and in rhythm to the breath.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON 14:30-16:30

"Roots and alignments"

The quality of the posture is partly determined by a firm base. Moreover, there is a physiological link between the way we place our body, the energy of motion and our breathing capacity.  This session will lay out some principles that can be applied to all postures in order to secure additional power and ease when practising Ashtanga Yoga.

SUNDAY MORNING 9:00-11:00

"Jamboree" 

This session uses Ashtanga Yoga and variations to open the body and facilitate breathing, a happy session based on the primary and secondary series that will keep us full of energy.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON 14:30-16:30

"Unity"

Recap on what we studied during the weekend, sometimes using different approaches for a greater understanding.

Style: Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga vinyasa is a hatha yoga practice transmitted to Pattabhi Jois from the great yoga master Krishnamacharya. It is for students seeking an invigorating approach that purifies, stimulates and energizes. It consists of postures practiced in a fluid rhythm with a concentrated breath, steady gaze, and internal contractions to direct vital energy. Due to the dynamic nature of this practice, one feels completely energized and purified in each cell of the body and also in the mind. Go to the Ashtanga yoga page.
