A weekend Yoga workshop offered by Studio Abhyas In the yoga tradition of Sri Krishnamacharya, the breath is used in a prescribed manner and used as the bridge between the body and the mind, i.e. through the methodical manipulation of the body and breath the mind is influenced and clamed. The weekend will equally focus on asana, pranayama and meditation. The asana sessions will include an introduction to the basic principles of yoga followed by a guided practice focused on various physical conditions. With special attention paid to each participant, the session will include ways of adapting asanas to suit the needs and capacities of each individual. Basic techniques of pranayama will be taught underlying the primary principles of correct breathing. The focus will be on refining the breath, making it deep, calm and mindful. The asana and pranayama practice will culminate in a series of systematically led meditations in which the breath will be used as a primary tool of attention. Also included will be lectures on the philosophy of yoga. Consciously refraining from esoteric terms and references, the instruction will delineate the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras in simple terms making it applicable to our present times and lifestyles.
