Dynamic Yoga workshops with Jo Kemp at Red Earth Centre
I am first in line for this workshop!
I am thrilled to announce that senior Dynamic Yoga teacher Jo Kemp will be giving two workshops in Paris at the Red Earth Centre: Saturday September 21st 9.30am – 1pm “The Spine”, and Sunday September 22nd 2pm- 5.30pm “The Dynamic Yoga Experience”. Jo has been practicing and studying yoga exclusively for more than 20 years, trains teachers and runs her own studio in Sitges, Spain www.nowbeyoga.com. She is one of only five senior Dynamic Yoga teachers.
I cannot recommend these workshops highly enough – please don’t miss this wonderful opportunity. Please read on for details.
Saturday September 21st 9.30am – 1pm “The Spine”:
The spine is central to our movement and experience. When the spine is carrying unhelpful and habitual postural and movement patterns the experience of our body can be less than pleasurable and we can often find ourselves in pain and discomfort or lacking in mobility.
In this workshop we explore specific sequencing to bring release to muscles that may overwork and awaken muscles that may be inactive. Moving towards balancing, mobilising and finally strengthening the spine.
Using yoga posture practice and pranayama we are guided to a deepened level of intimacy with the sensations in and around the spine, sensitising the mind to what’s actually happening in our unique bodymind.
If yoga posture practice is to release us from the imprints of life held within our structure and musculature, i.e high shoes, bags on one shoulder, accumulation of hours on the computer. It needs to be undertaken with a keen sense of listening to the whispers of sensation within the spine so that each movement and posture is a nourishing response to the needs of the spine. It needs to be undertaken with a sound knowledge of the actions needed in order for all parts of the body to fully support each other and the central core of movement which is the spine.
The workshop will include posture practice, pranayama, relaxation and clarifying discussion, exploration and demonstration.
Suitable for all levels of practitioner from those newly exploring yoga to advanced practitioners and teachers.
Sunday September 22nd 2pm- 5.30pm “The Dynamic Yoga Experience”:
Dynamic yoga supports a process of awakening on all levels.
It is a kind, intuitive and nourishing practice grounded in sound universal principles. Principles that gently re- calibrate and re-integrate the body, and also importantly begins a steady process of internalisation and potent inquiry.
A subtle somatic (of the body) method that supports a deeper understanding of the body, mind, and a deeper relaxation into what we are.
Suitable for all levels of practitioner from those newly exploring yoga to advanced practitioners and teachers.
cost: 50€ per workshop, or 85€ for both

Atelier: Understanding energy and its effects in your body
Un stage d’une journée pour apprendre à pratiquer des exercices énergétiques animé par Junnon Merigoux.
Ce stage s’adresse aux tous qui s’intéressent à comprendre « l’énergie » et manipulation énergètique; les thérapeutes ou les coach, qui s’intéressent pour pouvoir apporter plus à vos clients, les professeurs du yoga pour la partie chakra et aura, ceux qui ont des soucis de santé, vous allez apprendre à corriger vous même la base d’énergie importante qui doit être corrigé pour rendre efficace tout les autre technique vous choissez d’entreprendre, dont les médicaments.
Le stage va se morceler les connaissances et l’expérience de Junnon sur la vision orientale des circuits énergétiques (méridiens), énergies subtiles et magnétiques de notre corps, et comment ces notions ont évolué aux Etats-Unis où elle a été formée. On va comprendre par les démonstrations et les jeux, et vous partez avec des outils importants.
Junnon sera heureuse de partager la base théorique et la pratique des exercices qu’elle a choisi pour ce stage, afin de vous sensibiliser et vous donner des outils concrets en rapport avec le thème de « l’énergie ». On va apprendre aussi l’utilisation de EFT, avec plus de points pour le rendre encore efficace.
La médecine Orientale a été développée depuis des temps très anciens en se basant sur l’étude des êtres vivants, et non pas sur l’étude de corps morts (anatomie via dissection). Elle se concentre donc sur l’énergie vitale. Junnon démontrera les énergies visuellement.
DATE : samedi 8 juin 2013 13h-18h
TARIF : 85 euros

One Billion Rising (and one)
« one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime…one billion women, one billion rising »
It’s been a few weeks now I’ve been hearing about an event called One Billion Rising : a global event inviting women to dance together, to come together in an expression of soldarity against the phenomenal global violence against women.
In November last year I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Lila. I often talk to her, tell her stories, tell her my thoughts. I often tell her that she is a lucky one, born in Paris in the 21st century. She is welcome as a girl ; she will have an education ; she will be able to love and marry whomever she chooses ; she will be able to wear whatever she chooses ; she will be able to choose and express her religion, her beliefs, her opinions ; whether or not to have a family ; she will be able to walk in the street, catch a bus, travel, without fear of attack.
Things could so easily have been very different.
For myself and for my daughter, and in an effort to support all these millions of women around the planet in their daily struggle, I will be rising (with Lila !) on Thursday 14th February.
Please rise with us !

Happy End of the Year and Beginning of a New One!!
19th December
Hello everyone !
Wishing you lots of love and fun for Christmas and New Year, here snuggled up with my lovely little girl Lila Star, four weeks old today !
The schedule will continue as usual except there will be no classes on Monday 24th December, nor Monday, 31st December.
The commercialisation of Christmas is tiring, even offensive for many people, but it’s nice to give a gift, right ?! So, Red Earth Centre has some ideas !! Who would not love a shiatsu or yoga session, especially after the festive season ?? See the « boutique » on the Red Earth Centre site for Red Earth gift vouchers online – shiatsu, yoga or Bushflower essence consultations.
And if you prefer something beautiful and literary, the outstanding publishing house Synchronique Editions has some new releases (please see below).
Voilà ! Have a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in 2013, when I will return progressively to work from mid/end February.
With love,
Louisa
