Day 1: Strength and Stability in the Lower Body
Day 2: Neck, Shoulders and the World Upside Down

Are you an iPhone or an Android person? Do you prefer rock or rap music? Are you a vegan or do you eat meat? How about fish? Are you going to get married or, in fact, you want to keep trying people out? Should you buy a Porsche eventually?

Everybody has a need of belonging, a sense of sacrifice. We have the will to devote ourselves to any cause to become more than we are. There’s an open market for new values in the information technology/ current societal predicament and it’s an endeavor to manage ones existence, while trying to “fit in” and become a beacon for personal discovery.

Taking a look at what defines each person in this talk, Andrei will explore the concepts of what values get associated along small path decisions and how this helps putting a bit of order and simplicity into the whole process.

This talk is a conversation about the very real aspects of the present society, the small things that take a lot of consideration and always seem to matter despite no real value. It’s a talk about the new dynamics of life aligned with the social media paradigm, self confinement and the values of identity defining choices.

Patrick Oancia has been developing his own pranayama, meditation and yoga practices for over 20 years. His teaching has been inspired by the methodologies described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the historical and scientific research of the Bihar School Of Yoga, combined with an invested knowledge of physical fitness, cardiovascular, neurological and reproductive health.

This immersion is open to all levels of students and is encouraged for those completely new to yoga as well. Each day includes systematic progressions of pranayama (breathing methods) and guided meditation utilizing effective techniques in and easy-to-understand way.

YogaJaya Baseworks Yoga:　Theory and basic application

YogaJaya Baseworks Yoga directly relates to all aspects of structural stabilization, enhancing energetics in the physical yoga teachings. Developing a physical yoga practice should be a steady combination of equally building strength, flexibility and sensitivity.

This session will include lectures combined with demonstrations and some very easy practice application reference for everyone to try!

During these two day sessions, we will be using the NLP tool kit, described by some as “the users manual for the brain”. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the ways in which people create their outcomes, feelings and realities through the interface (mostly unconscious) of their neurology that is communicating with every part of the body, the filters of language (verbal and non-verbal), beliefs/values, and the patterns and behaviour that result from those. How we can change these into more useful ones and the strategies to do this is the field of NLP.
