Vinyasa Krama – A Master Class with Stewart Gilchrist
The synchronisation of breath and movement!
“Gradually putting yourself in a new place in a special way.”
Much, much more than “flow” or “sequenced” yoga, vinyasa krama, in its modern context, was created by Yogacharya Krishnamacharya, it offers methods of forcing prana (lifeforce) through the channels (nadis) of our physical bodies using asana, pranayama, dharana, dhyana.
The workshops will show that this profound movement of kundalini shakti (cosmic energy) has an enormous effect on mind , body and soul.
It will highlight marked differences in the practice of traditional yoga asanas when synchronised to breath.
Intelligent movement in a backward sort of way!
This workshop will include the 4 practical aspects of Astanga yoga : asana, pranayama, mantra and dhyana.
As the breath and the body are moved in time the practitioner will focus on twisting and back bends as a means to attaining a state of self realization through modern hatha yoga.
