Intermediate/Advanced Yoga Workshop - David Muehsam
March 30th-April 1st
Cost €150

For practitioners with some experience, this workshop will be an opportunity to deepen one‚s practice, with guidance for progressing into more advanced postures and practices. We will do full yoga practices, and begin to focus on refining the poses to allow for a sustainable deepening of one‚s own practice. We will give a little extra emphasis to the variations of backbending and inversions, and how to use different variations to safely develop these seemingly challenging practices. We‚ll begin to perform some of the more advanced pranayama practices, including kumbhaka (breath retention).
As we practice, we will explore in more detail the inner balance or harmony inherent in each of the poses, and how to work within the postures to safely develop some of the more advanced practices. We‚ll see how this inner balance awakens the internal processes of the bandhas, and the natural balance of energy that comes when the postures and breath work together in harmony. We will also practice ways of experiencing and using the bandhas from the perspective of Vinyasa or breath/movement, and how this can naturally lead towards sequencing of the postures.

Booking essential, to guarantee your spot, a €50 deposit to be received at time of booking. Please mail info@the-elbowroom.com or call 01-6779859.

 

Shakti Spirit Yoga and Ayurveda Weekend Workshop - with Rachel Hull
April 20th-22nd
Cost €150

Most Yoga practitioners have heard of Ayurveda, but few have the experience to integrate it into their personal practice or classes.
We each have an individual Ayurvedic constitution made up of various combinations of what Ayurveda calls doshas ˆ these are vata, pitta and kapha. External conditions such as the weather, as well as diet and lifestyle, can cause the doshas to become imbalanced (vikriti).
The weekend workshop is designed to increase your understanding of Ayurveda and to give you the skills to balance the doshas through your Yoga practice. Whether or not the scheduled class relates to your current condition, you will find it fascinating to learn about yourself as well as recognise things about the people around you; this might be friends, family members or students. It is also important to realise that regardless of our individual constitution, it is possible to become imbalanced in any of the three doshas.
Whether you are a teacher, or a keen practitioner, this information is invaluable for maintaining a state of balance during your years of Yoga practice. If you are already teaching Yoga, you will find the sequences give you many teaching tools and direction for the future.

Students will leave with a print out of each dosha pacifying sequence, so they can continue these practices at home.
This workshop is filling quickly so please book early to avoid disappointment! Booking essential, to guarantee your spot, a €50 deposit to be received at time of booking. Please mail info@the-elbowroom.com or call 01-6779859.
