How we br eathe may affect how we think and how we feel. In his class we explore how different breathing techniques (in motion and stillness) have an impact o n our physical and mental states\, how we can alter our reactions by regul ating the way we breathe and how we can become more present. The aim is to help participants improve the relationship to their breath\, to learn how to self-regulate and to gain a deeper understanding of the role of the br eath in their yoga practice and daily life.\nThursday 04/01 - Grounded and stableThis class looks at how to create a good foundation for a stable pr actice\, how to be grounded and steady on our feet and in our head. We loo k at the importance of the standing sequence in Ashtanga yoga and how we u se our feet and legs is fundamental to laying a good foundation for what w ill come. We also look at how to find variations and adapt the practice in the most suitable way for each individual in order to progress safely in the practice.Friday 05/01 - AwarenessThe first and second limb of Ashtanga yoga - Yama and Niyama – often end up in the shadow of the third and four th limbs (asana and pranayama). This class looks at how the practice of yo ga needs to include these first two limbs for it to be called yoga. We exp lore how we can to relate to each of the five Yama and Niyama and how to m indfully include them into our daily lives.\nSunday 07/01 - Strong and Lig htWe explore the connection of Bandha (locks) and their relationship to th e breath\, asana practice and life energy (prana/apana). We specifically e xplore the balance between mobility and strength in different asana\, the transitions in between and how to create lightness in the practice.Monday 08/01 - SpaciousnessThe pressures and stresses of life may make us feel co rnered or trapped. Uncomfortable asana or fear of making certain shapes wi th the body may cause tension and compression. In this class we look at ho w to create space in our movements\, in our breath and in our mind. We par ticularly look at making space for the spine and its natural curves in bac k bending and how to practice in order to prevent future pain or injury.\n Wednesday 10/01 - Dedication\, Determination and DevotionKriya yoga – the yoga of action – includes the concept of Tapas\, Swadhyaya\, Ishvarapranid hana. How can we stay motivated\, keep learning and have faith in the proc ess of the practice even after many years of practice? What is the purpose of what we are doing? We explore how to stay curious\, how to overcome ob stacles and adapt to changes in life and our practice. The class is intera ctive and we exchange personal experiences and advice.\nThursday 11/11 - A new moon practice (morning or afternoon)In connection with the new moon w e do this softer yet dynamic yoga sequence that is specifically designed t o for times where body and mind may feel heavier or tired. It is ideal to be performed at full/new moon while taking a break from Ashtanga practice. The class ends with guided relaxation.\nFriday 12/11 - Wrapping upWe fini sh the retreat as we finish the sequence – upside down. We play with inver sions and look at how to safely be on our head.
