back-bending workshop: 7 february 2010
i am happy to announce that there will be a back-bending workshop, taught by amelie strecker, on sunday, 7 february from 12pm – 2:30pm.
this workshop costs 30 euros (25 euros for students of casaAbhyasa). 20% will be donated to haiti!
* Deconstructing backbends… in this workshop we will explore the key ingredients needed for back-bending comfortably and safely. Back-bends are not only physically challenging, but also connect profoundly to the emotional body, tapping into deep-seeded fear and trust issues. This heart-opening workshop will focus on creating mobility in the shoulder area, opening the front of the body (psoas and quardriceps), strengthening the thighs, and engaging the inner legs, all of which are components of back-bending. This workshop is for all levels.
* This will be a technical and playful workshop that will include a dynamic aspect of the practice, partner-work, and a preparation to slowly soften and dissolve the layers of tension around the heart. You will leave the workshop feeling motivated, refreshed, and connected to your source and inner joy.
it is necessary to pre-register for this workshop at: premagita@gmail.com or 600 810 741.
i hope that you will take the opportunity to attend this workshop! see you there!
take care and much love… namaste, hojung

full moon yin yoga workshop: saturday, 30 january 2010
i am happy to announce that there will be a yin yoga workshop on the next full moon, saturday, 30 january, taught by kathy paez. the workshop will be from 11am - 1pm and the cost is 25 euros (20 euros for students of casaAbhyasa).
it is necessary to reserve in advance as space is limited: kathypaez@gmail.com or 617 672 872.
*Because the ashtanga practice can quite often be a very yang or masculine practice, yin yoga can be a nice complementary practice to it. The moon days, in general, are an opportunity to take rest from the asana practice of ashtanga yoga and to begin to cultivate a more inernal, meditative practice.
*Yin Yoga is mainly composed of Hatha yoga postures, which are passively held for 3 to 5 min. Its main objective is to stretch fascia and connective tissue, to explore range of motion from the joints, and to open certain energy channels.
i hope that you will take advantage of this unique opportunity and to see you in the workshop!
take care and see you soon! much love and peace... namaste, hojung

anatomy and yoga workshop: sunday, 17 january 2010
i am happy to announce that there will be an anatomy and yoga workshop, taught by damien de bastier, on sunday, 17 january from 12pm – 2pm.
this workshop costs 30 euros (25 euros for students of casaAbhyasa).
* Although this workshop is independent and comprehensive in itself, it is also a continuation of Damien's previous anatomy workshop held in December. In this session, we will quickly review the legs and pelvic floor before exploring the iliolumbar junction (lower back), the anatomy of udyana bandha, and the anatomy of the breath, finishing with an investigation of the arms and neck. Although we will be relating mostly to the ashtanga yoga practice and practitioner, this workshop is open to all levels and to practitioners of all yoga paths. PLEASE NOTE, THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH.
*Damien de Bastier is an ashtanga yoga practitioner and teacher, authorized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath in Mysore, India. He is also an experienced bodyworker and sees both the yoga mat and the massage table as laboratories in which we can experiment and cultivate awareness. He believes that developing sensitivity to what is experienced in the moment is the cornerstone to a healthy and vibrant life. He enjoys sharing his fascination for the body/mind connection with compassion, humor, and insight.
as space is limited, it is necessary to register for this workshop in advance with damien at: damien@8yoga.com or 666 365 802.
i hope that you will take the opportunity to attend this workshop!
