workshop:  INTRODUCTION TO ASHTANGA YOGA

The workshop will be an introduction to both theoretical and practical aspects of Ashtanga Yoga. It will provide a solid foundation for those who want to start or who already attended some classes, but would like to learn more about the method.

In the first part of the workshop I will explain the origins of the practice, its basic rules, philosophy and how to integrate yoga into your daily life. In the practical part we will have a closer look at the three main techniques – the ujjayi breath, asana and drishti. We will work on the beginning of Primary Series, which is the first and the most therapeutic sequence of the Ashtanga Yoga system, paying extra attention to the alignment of the asanas. Apart from the poses, you will learn how to connect the breath, the movement, and the point of focus so that your practice will not only develop strength and flexibility, but also focus and the feeling of internal peace.

I strongly recommend this workshop to all new students at Ashtanga Yoga Luzern. You don’t have to start with the workshop – you can also join it after already coming to some regular classes.

workshop: BUILDING STRENGTH FOR ARM BALANCES & INVERSIONS

People often associate the physical side of yoga with stretching and relaxation. But flexibility isn’t all – a balanced practice of asanas also requires a lot of strength and stability. New students often struggle with poses that require a lot of shoulder and core strength – they collapse in chaturanga and have trouble lifting to arm balances and inversions. And that’s a shame, because headstand is one of the most beneficial asanas and arm balances are a great tool for practicing concentration and are simply fun to do.

In this workshop I will give you tools to gain strength in your arms, shoulders and the core so that those important poses will become more accessible. We will do different preparations that you can incorporate into your daily practice and we will analyse alignment in poses you already know from the class. We will work through step-by-step progressions of the poses so that yogis of all levels will be able to benefit from the workshop.

workshop: THE ART OF HANDS-ON ADJUSTMENTS

In this workshop I will teach you the most essential hands-on adjustments of the Primary Series. I will explain you the main principles of adjusting and share with you some insights from my 13 years teaching experience. We will practice together assisting in some of the important yoga asanas, which is a great opportunity to learn and get feedback about your adjustments.
The workshop is meant not only for yoga teachers, but for all of you, who would like to deepen their understanding of yoga alignment and who want to learn why I correct you in a certain way during your practice. The principles of hands-on adjustments are universal, therefore teachers of other yoga styles are most welcome!
