CPD Events in Manchester

17 March 2012, 2 - 5pm

Yoga Philosophy & Story

How do you put the ‘spirit’ and the ‘extra spark’ into your yoga class? One part is in how you prepare for it, both practically and spiritually.  Another is how to add moral, value based or funny, inspirational stories to your class content. This can deepen your students' experience by giving them meaning and purpose to postures, sequences and helping to give the mind something positive to focus on. We will also look at some of the traditional yogic scriptures that are popularly used for personal development in yoga such as Patanjali’s 8 Fold Path as well as some of the key verses from the Bhagavad Gita. A little bit of chanting too!

Yoga Postures and their Chakra Focus
Every posture has a main chakra focus that gives the power and key benefit to you that effects you physically, emotionally and spiritually. In this CPD learn and experience how the chakra awareness moves within a pose. Once you understand this, you are able to harness your practice to create an optimum state within yourself. Watch your life, relationships and dreams come alive in a way you will not have thought possible.

The Energetics of Energy Block Release
The energy block release sequences are designed to peculate freedom of movement from the surface to the deeper organs. We hold so much physical as well as emotional energy in our body and at different layers of it. Review your EBR’s and experience ‘Stillness in Motion’ – the paradox that makes Energy Block Release sequences so energising as well as transforming. They are not simply the second part of a class session, they are ‘awakening forces’ in their own right.
