Jo Kemp, Senior Dynamic Yoga Teacher, at Red Earth Centre Paris

Following the success of her workshops at the Centre in September 2013,  Jo Kemp, senior Dynamic Yoga teacher, is back due to popular demand and proposes two workshops:

Saturday 25th January 2014 2pm – 5pm The Bandhas

This workshop takes us progressively and experientialy into an exploration of the 3 overt and 3 covert bandhas. In yoga posture practice shape and form is evidently important yet for a shape to become a yoga posture depends much on the integrity of the body and a certain quality of awareness, depth of sensitivity and inquiry.
The Bandhas are a powerful unifying mechanism that transforms outer shape and internal awareness into the subtle yet profound inter-connectivity that is Asana.

Suitable for practitioners and teachers from all yoga backgrounds wishing to deepen their practice.

Sunday 26th January 10am – 1pm : Pranayama-Freeing the Breath

“ Transcending of the duality of the breath uncovers the inner light and initiates the mind into meditation” Patanjali.

In this dynamic yoga workshop we are invited into a deep and potent intimacy with the breath.

The habitual patterns of holding, controlling and resisting that often show up in the breath and are often revealed within yoga posture practice can be transcended by bringing a continuous sensitivity and open inquiry within the arena of breath/ movement synchronization.

In the first part of the workshop participants are guided through a powerful yet gentle sequence that opens and gently awakens the body in full support of the respiratory system.This is then followed by a deep yet accessible exploration of potent pranayama techniques, concluding with a guided meditation bringing a further elucidation and invitation to intimacy with the breath and therefore life.

All students, practitioners and teachers from all styles of yoga are very welcome and can benefit from this workshop.

Tarif : 40€/workshop or 70€ for both workshops
