Patrick Oancia at Truenature Karuizawa 2013
The “YogaJaya Baseworks" system combines refined breathing with asana practice that ranges from working on the details in structural alignment, to promoting fluidity and grace through awareness in movement. This practice safely builds from beginner to more experienced dynamics in a complete and holistic way.
Throughout these 6 sessions participants will learn practical pranayama (breathing) and asana (posture) applications with lectures on the interface between human anatomy & physiology, psychology and subtle energetics.

Sthira Sukham Asanam: Core Foundation- Baseworks 2.0 Sequence.
(All Level, Intermediate, Yoga Teachers) - 2.0 hours
Sthira (steady) Sukham (comfortable) Asanam (posture) is one of the many aphorisms introduced by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. It is said that when the body and mind achieve equanimity that the feet, legs, pelvis, torso, arms, hands, neck, throat and head are perfectly balanced.
When practicing with a sense of equanimity one learns to detach from the pure physical challenges while remaining confident and calm throughout.
As an extension to the 1st module, this session will first outline the approach to building core stability utilizing muscles that stabilize the spine, abdominal region and pelvis so as to enhance an understanding of body mechanics. This will be followed by a “Baseworks 2.0 Sequence”.
