SUMMARY:Jason Birch & Jacqueline Hargreaves: Hatha Yoga: An Integrated Practice
DESCRIPTION:Share this:If you desire abundant vitality and the strength to embrace all that life may offer\, the practice of Hatha Yoga is a priceless jewel\, for it teaches us that the mind and spirit can be shaped by directly shaping the body. The connections are irrefutable; physical stillness is mental equipoise; strength is courage and lightness is joy. This workshop aims to present the full scope of Hatha Yoga\, as described in the ancient texts\, laying the foundations with cleansing practices (kriyas) and postures (asana)\, and deepening the experience by introducing breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana). The material will culminate to form a complete practice\, which may be varied according to individual needs and circumstances\, to bring about profound transformation. \nCourse Curriculum: \nWeekend 1: KRIYAS Cleansing the Body Pure \nExplore the traditional cleansing practices (Kriyas) of Hatha Yoga. This weekend will include an overview of the 6 cleansing practices as described in the main Hatha Yoga Texts; a demonstration of Jala Neti\, Sutra Neti and Danda Dhauti; and step-by-step instruction on the practice of Trataka\, Kapalabhati and Nauli (with many variations). Traditionally\, the Kriyas were taught before Asanas\, to those who suffered excessive phlegm (i.e. Kapha imbalances) and fat. The Kriyas are particularly useful for certain sinus\, throat\, eye\, stomach\, lung and digestive tract problems. They make the body shine from within! \n– Saturday August 2: 08:00-10:30  \n\nOverview\, Historical Context and Demonstration of the Kriyas\nLearn the practice of Kapalabhati and Uddiyana for cleansing and strengthening the respiratory and digestive systems\nExamining the results of recent scientific research into the Kriyas\n\n– Sunday August 3: 08:00-10:30  \n\nDiscussion on how to devise a Kriya Practice for specific needs\nDevelop the practice of Kapalabhati\, Uddiyana and Nauli (with variations)\nLearn the practice of Trataka (gazing at a fixed point) to cleanse the eyes and throat\n\nWeekend 2: KRIYAS + ASANA Strengthening the Body \nKriyas (cleansing practices) and Asana (postures) will be combined to form a practice to improve your overall health and vitality.

In the second session\, we will strengthen the body’s earth element making it still\, steady and calm using a Yin Yoga practice that will leave the body feeling rejuvenated. The combined effect of both the Yang (dynamic) and Yin (static) practices will be an enlightened and steady the body. \n– Saturday August 9: 08:00-10:30  \nYang (dynamic) Asana \n\nThe practice of Kapalabhati and Nauli will be used to quickly and effectively heat the body in preparation for asana\nChallenge and strengthen the body with a dynamic practice of Standing Poses\, Arm Balancing and Inversions\n\n– Sunday August 10: 08:00-10:30  \nYin (static) Asana \n\nA series of floor poses will be held in stillness to learn how the body responds to a static practice; demonstrating that an asana practice need not be ‘hard and fast’ to be effective in transforming the body and mind.\nLong hold poses will strengthen the body’s earth element making it still\, steady and calm\, and induce the natural healing response\n\nWeekend 3: KRIYAS + ASANA + PRANAYAMA Balancing the Nervous System \nPranayama (breathing exercises) are integral to the practice of the ancient art of Hatha Yoga.
