SIMON BORG-OLIVIER – November 7th - 9th, 2008
WORKSHOP - Moving Energy with Yoga
How to use asana (posture), vinyasas (movement) and pranayama (breath control) to move prana (energy) and citta (information) through the nadis (subtle channels) of the body.
It can be said that the main purpose of yoga is to realise that our individual consciousness and the universal consciousness are one; but the practical purpose of hatha (physical) yoga is to enhance the connections within our physical body. This is best achieved by clearing physical blockages in the body and allowing the free movement of energy and information through the subtle channels. In this workshop Simon will teach practical ways to unblock your body and circulate energy and information in its various forms through the blood vessels nerves and acupuncture meridians. You will be shown how to develop your yoga practice towards being effortless, relaxing and energising, with increased strength and flexibility. This type of practice is also very therapeutic and can be adapted for use in all situations. Each class is progressive and the last class will include a 90 minute lead meditative dynamic to static practice that will consolidate the teachings of the course.
