Connect to your embodied intelligence with Ashtanga Yoga! What is special about this traditional and dynamic yoga method is that it is followed by an intelligent sequence of poses that encompasses the body & mind as a whole. Unique to ashtanga is the central role of breath and that breath initiates, carries, movement. The ashtanga yoga sequence (first the Primary Series) is designed to promote vitality, strength and flexibility in body & mind. Following a specific series with every practice is a great method to ease and focus the mind over time, connect to ourselves, and making us receptive to our inner world - an antidote to modern life, where most of us are guided by external stimulus and attachments rather than following our own intelligence. Over time the practice leads from a gross to a subtle level of awareness. Contribution: €25 (€23 student - with valid student ID) includes course material Registration for either of these sessions is open, only 12 participants are accepted for this special workshop. In this 2.5h-workshop you will be introduced to the principles of this unique practice and develop a basic understanding behind its philosophy and benefits of the practice.
