2,5 Day Practicum & Study Asana Energetics

“Body to shape the breath, breath to shape the mind , mind to connect into source”

Mastering Asana is not just about the perfect shape. It’s about knowing and experiencing what the shapes do. They impact our physiology (body), energy, and mind. In the yoga tradition, there are thousands of postures. However, in terms of spinal orientation, there are six main pose categories, defined by the great yogi and master Krishnamacharya. These groups of Asana influence us differently and serve various purposes on our yogic path.

For example, forward folds and twists are calming and grounding. Laterals and backbends are energizing. Extensions and inversions are uplifting and inspiring. They relate to awakening and ascending dormant energies. This distinction is essential for teachers and students who want to understand the energetic purpose behind each posture.

 

What?

In this 2,5 day workshop we will look at these six (spinal) pose categories. For each of these Asana groups we will do a complete practice (including Asana, pranayama & meditation) and a practicum to explore and discuss the characteristics of the Asana’s in terms of – physical alignment & energy flow – breath & energy as a way to shape the mind in the asana – energetic effects overall.
