If there is one yoga event in Brno you can´t miss this year, then it is our special ashtanga city retreat – WEEKEND FULL OF YOGA with BIANCA OLIVEIRA @bianca.raposo.oliveira . Check the program and save your spot!
THE WORKSHOP IS IN ENGLISH, WITH TRANSLATION INTO CZECH, IF NEEDED.
PROGRAM:
SATURDAY 29TH MARCH
8:00-10:00 MYSORE
10:30-12:30 – SOLAR FIRE – Join this practice to stimulate your inner fire, build a powerful sense of heat that will detoxify your body and mind as well.
The distinguishing feature of the Ashtanga Yoga method is to include a „vinyasa“ between each pose. Traditional vinyasa means coordination of breath to movement. However, in the Ashtanga practice the term refers to the jump back and jump through between the poses.
This practice will serve as a foundation tool to build strength for transitions, jump backs, jump throughs and arm balances.
All levels welcome. Come and play!!
13:30-15:30 – HIPS AND TWISTS – Openness in the hips and knees are a big part of the practice of yoga asana. Through the hips we have straight access to our spine and our nervous system. Join this workshop to learn how to safely open the hips and knees to access your entire spine in deep twists. Deep twisting increases energy levels, cleanses the body and opens the mind to new levels of awareness. Join me in a sweaty flow that will both warm up your body from the inside out and prepare to go deeper physically, mentally and even spiritually. Stimulate the inner fire and let the twists remove toxins and impurities while leaving you with a calm and balanced mind.
SUNDAY 30TH MARCH
8:00-10:00 MYSORE
10:30-12:30 BRAVE HEART BACKBENDS – During this workshop we will look at some postures of Yoga Chikitsa & Nadi Shodana, and how they can be used to purify our energy channels. We will look at what kinds of physical & psychological preparations do we need to do to prepare for Intermediate Series Nadi Shodana. We will explore some back-bending enhancements: looking at the principles of opening the heart, being vulnerable, and the importance to cultivate great strength in the foundation of our lives (and legs).
13:30-15:30 BREATHWORK – This class is combined with mantras and a set of breath work exercises that , (when practiced for a period of time and in the right conditions), calms the body’s fight and flight response, increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve. Calming the fight and flight response is important for helping us cope with the damaging effects of stress and also for helping the healing process.
