One Day Inside Addiction Workshop
Cancelled
November 28, 2020 •
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Description
In this day-long workshop Marta will help you get inside what is driving your addictive nature and provide a new path through self reflection, kundalini yoga, neuroplasticity, pranayama and meditation. Addiction takes on many forms, and can be a destructive force that undermines our ability to realise our full potential.
The majority of us have an addictive nature but do not recognise its presence. Addiction is a tool to manage your reality, longing for something external to change the way you feel.
We will be working with substance addiction (drugs, alcohol, nicotine, sugar & food) and the process additions related to our thought patterns. The latest include shopping, social media, anxiety, stress, depression, negative thinking, excessive working, intense exercise, relationships, acceptance, power, control, eating disorders, self-harming, drama and sex among others
Start your journey of self-exploration and understanding the nature and root of your addictive nature, and the possibility of healing the impact of childhood trauma and emotional loss in which addiction is rooted.
Gain an insight into the impact this trauma has on your body, brain development and emotional state, why you feel the way you feel and incur into behaviours that do not serve you to change how you feel and you cannot stop yourself. You will learn to self regulate and different tools to support yourself in managing your emotional responses to triggers and create long lasting change
Kundalini yoga is one of the most powerful tools to heal addictions and to create transformation. The yoga practice throughout the course will be suitable for all levels, beginners and regulars, no yoga or kundalini yoga experience is necessary.
What to expect: The workshop will split in two 3 hours sessions with one hour lunch break. Each session will include knowledge sharing, self-reflection, kundalini yoga, pranayama and meditation.
What you will need: A yoga mat and space to physically practise, a pen and paper and a comfortable place to sit. Each session will be conducted via zoom in the comfort of your own space. You can join the sessions with or without your camera turned on, whatever feels most comfortable for you on the day.
Testimonials:
“Marta’s workshop on addictive behaviours is a must-experience and if goes beyond ‘addictions’ as we perceive them on daily basis. It explains the thought process and the body response and it suggests ways to deal with it. Taking up Kundalini has made a big impact on my life and this workshop was one of the highlights of that on-going process for sure.”
“Marta is an amazing teacher. I have taken her Addiction workshop before and it was one of the best workshops I’ve taken in a long time. I learned so much, she is passionate, charismatic and knowledgeable, I have recommended her workshop to many of my students, and would take it over and over again. London is lucky to have her teaching, grateful to have been able to attend”
