Vinyasa Yoga Authentique

commençant le Samedi 18 novembre 2017 à 09:00

Cet atelier est enseigné en anglais.

Vinyasa is an art form of practising yogasanas, based on the parameters mentioned in the Yoga Sutras. Sri Krishnamacharya taught this method of asana practice in which numerous asana movements or vinyasas are practised in succession, slowly and with synchronisation of breath. In this course you will learn Vinyasa Yoga in a comprehensive manner including pranayama, bandha, mudra and meditation based on the Yoga Sutras. Stephen will transmit the method as he learnt it directly from Srivatsa Ramaswami. The entire range of vinyasas in eleven classical sequences.The mental attitudes and breath control required in Yoga are cultivated within the practice.

This workshop will cover the theory and take students through several vinyasa sequences of the practice along with a focus on Yoga Psychology, Pranayama, Mantra, and Meditation.

This workshop is suitable for students of all levels including beginners as well as teachers.

Style : Vinyasa Krama Yoga

Vinyasa Krama Yoga développe la force et la flexibilité. Elle améliore la circulation du sang, de la lymphe et de l'énergie de vie (prana). C’est une façon simple, agréable et efficace d'exercer toutes les articulations, les muscles et les tissus du corps sans surcharger le cœur. Les mouvements sont lents et synchronisés avec la respiration. La respiration (ujjayi) concentre le mental et l’amène dans un état de paix. En mettant l'accent sur la respiration et le mouvement synchronisé, Vinyasa yoga prépare l'élève à une assise stable et confortable pour les pratiques plus subtiles de pranayama et de méditation incluses dans chaque séance. L'ensemble du processus transforme peu à peu le corps et le mental, dissolvant les anciens schémas de tension mentale et des schémas dysfonctionnels de mouvement.
