Partner & Thai Massage Yoga Course with Gweon Jung Eun

September 6, 2009 - September 27, 2009

Prana, life energy is obtained through air, food, water, sunlight, correct breathing, yoga asanas, and the compression and release of massage.

A lack of touch or love can lead to a lack of prana, while a nurturing massage or bodywork session can restore and increase prana.

In this Partner yoga and Thai yoga massage session, we will focus on becoming more aware of our body and feeling the prana through the physical application of loving kindness in the form of a touching action.

Peter Roussel: The Thread of Tantra Workshop

July 4, 2009 - July 12, 2009

This workshop is about Total Hatha Yoga practice: exploring deeply the inner world through the three most important Hatha Yoga practices of Meditation, Pranayama and Asana. In this Workshop we will combine these three in detail and how they relate to one and other.

Each module will be composed of all three practices but will have an emphasis on one. Spending longer on that specific practice allows more detail to be shared and most importantly deeper experience of the effects of the practice. The workshop is designed to be progressive.

By attending all three modules the student will gain a good understanding of the relationship that these ancient practice share with each other. There will be question time at the end of each module so students are able to remember the connections between the various 'limbs' of Yoga.
