Journey through the Self: Developing a Yoga Self-practice
About this Event
This 15-hour intensive is for people who have been practicing yoga in studio classes for a while and are interested in developing the next levels of depth and meaning in their yoga practice.
Self-practice allows you to slow down and get in touch with what your mind, body and spirit need. It empowers you to design a practice for yourself to encourage you in the direction that feels most meaningful to you. In self-practice you have the space to play with new skills in the freedom of your own space. You have the opportunity for self-inquiry that is liberated from the whims, dogma, and opinions of your teacher and the pace and skill level of the people around you. In this intensive weekend you’ll learn the essential bits of philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, pranayama, intuitive movement and using inquiry to create intentional direction to their yoga practice.
Self-practice is perfect for times when you....
- are travelling
- are in a season of recovery requiring extra modifications for your practice
- are working on a skill that requires consistent repeated practice
- are seeking solitude / to not be perceived
- are trying to build consistency
- are looking for a different balance of physical / mental / spiritual practices than you’re finding in studio classes
- are curious about slowing down to investigate a sensation in your body and finding what it actually needs
- are interested in movement as a creative outlet rather than yet another place to follow the rules of authority
- you’ve had a day and need a session where you just get to do the things you like and bring you joy
- don’t have time to commute to a 1+ hour class
- don’t have child care
Continued Supported Self-Practice
Equipped with this information there’s still some barriers to self-practice: where does it happen? when does it start? where’s the community?
On the 6 following Mondays at 6pm, you’re invited to join our community in supported self-practice where you’ll self-direct your practice for 90 mins with the support of two expert teachers. It’s all the best parts of group class, privates and self-practice. We’ll be coming around the room to give you longer deeper presence of our 1:1 attention focused on whatever you are exploring in that moment. Even 5 mins of 1:1 attention from a yoga teacher is as much as you might get in a few years of going to typical flow classes every day and can greatly accelerate your practice. We believe this is the most effective way to teach yoga. In the Ashtanga community they call this “Mysore” we want to offer a similar container of support without the rigidity of the Ashtanga system. You can come and breathe the whole time, journal, work on your forward bends, create a flow, or practice your inversions.
