In this workshop, students will be guided through a practice to generate awareness, through a combination of soft and more opening Chi Kung movements designed to deepen understanding of subtle energetics.

As Yoga and Chi Kung practises deepen, practitioners begin to familiarize themselves
with the physical sensations associated with energetic flow, and enhance their ability to be open and perceive Chi, the underlying energy of the universe, present in each of us.

From this internal awareness, we can begin to re-find more complex expansive external movement patterns (that we once explored as children) and expand our energetic boundaries.

The approach to practice is always light hearted, involving a combination of eastern practices (Yoga, Movement, Chi Kung and relaxation.)

Some time will also be spent on the fundamentals of Chi Kung and therefore beginners are welcome.

From First Principles to incorporating Chi Kung into Your Self Practise, Chi Kung can be used to enhance the practice of yoga by providing a physical framework with which to explore the bodies subtle energetic systems. By developing a self practice that incorporates aspects of both Yoga and Chi Kung, practitioners can actively take responsibility for finding health and balance in their own lives on a daily basis. Regardless of whether the requirement is for greater physical, mental, emotional or spiritual harmony.

In addition to extensive practice, this workshop will look at the requirements and components of a self practice, helping to augment the work of those with an established self practice or provide tools with which to start one.

The approach will be light hearted, involving a combination of Yoga, movement, Chi Kung and relaxation, tapping into levels of awareness and perception, beyond the ordinary and into the realms of the magical.

There will be extensive time for questions.

Learn to unleash the three C’s! Whether you’re a long-hold hatha person, a faster-flow vinyasa yogi, or somewhere in between. You’ll learn to unlock pivotal asanas to your practice. This asana based workshop will work with the ever-present “core” as well as what the core isn’t. Then moving on to how using the core applies to Crow pose and Chaturanga. Then we’ll move from proper alignment to investigating how your core, crow pose, and chaturanga all contribute to a “body knowledge” of other poses as well.
