Yoga classes will be intermediary level, so best if you have done some yoga before, without having to be a pro. Morning classes will be more energising, focussing on back-bends, arm-balances and inversion. Afternoon classes will have a more inward focus, main working with forward folds, hamstrings and hips. Poncho and Laurence will rotate teaching the classes. They have studied a variety of yoga styles including Anusara, Hatha yoga, Vinyasa, Yin yoga, restorative yoga, partner yoga and acro-yoga. We invite you to take care of your body and to find the balance between challenging yourself and accepting your limits. Meditation and Mindfulness We will practice guided or silent sitting meditation each morning and some evenings. Meditation sessions will last for 20 to 30min. The idea of meditation is to bring our body and our mind together in the here and now. Often our body is in one place but our mind is drifting off into the past, future or into ‘wonderland’. When we sit just to sit, we are able to arrive in the present moment, release tension and find peace inside of ourselves. Introduction to practical Anatomy During these sessions we will look at applied anatomy principles, focusing on the mayor joints and muscle groups in the body, and their application to asana practice. Introduction to Philosophy We will explore the century old wisdom of two main text: the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras. The philosophy sessions will focus mainly on the symbolic meaning and the translation of this wisdom into real-life. Schedule7:30 am - 9:30 am Yoga (1) and Meditation
