| Description: | WHAT IS BIKRAM YOGA? Bikram's beginning yoga class is a demanding series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas), which is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments and joints needed for the next posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100 percent of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order. Bikram scientifically designed this 90 minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury and limit the effects of aging. In addition, the series of postures combine skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control, which lead to increased mental clarity and reduced stress. A regular practice of Bikram yoga also improves body posture and spine alignment. It relieves back pains and headaches; strengthens muscles; reduces symptoms of chronic diseases; gives better self confidence; improves body image; improves flexibility, balance and strength; gives a general feeling of wellness and peace. |

Description: |
Issu de la technique du chant classique de l'Inde du
nord, Le Yoga de la Voix met en relief la musique et son effet subtil, l'harmonisation des
centres qui nous constituent. Avec le chant modal, d'une claire profondeur, les sons de notre propre nature, générés par la voix, deviennent des acteurs efficaces de notre bien-être et de notre environnement. Un travail vocal en finesse et en nuances nous fait apprécier à sa juste valeur la force du silence et son aspect dynamique dans la musique et dans notre sphère mentale. Deriving from the technique of classical singing from northern India, The Yoga Voice highlights the music and its subtle effect, the harmonization of energy centres in us. While singing modal, a clear depth, the sounds of our own nature, generated by our own voice, we become effective generators of our wellbeing and our environment. A work in fine vocal nuances makes us appreciate the value and power of silence and its dynamic aspect in music and in our mental sphere. |

| Instructor: | Suzy Daw (Scaravelli Yoga ), Martha (Dance) |
| Description: | Scaravelli Yoga Retreat - 'Awakening the Spine'
20th to 26th April 2009 Yoga retreat for teachers and students 20-26th April 2009. Inspired by the wisdom of Vanda Scaravelli, this workshop will teach you about the anatomy of the spine and it's relation to yoga poses. By working through postures in a practical way the classes will encourage you to explore and rediscover your own natural movement, inviting stillness into the body and mind as the body responds to gravity and your own breath. You will learn about prana & energetics of the spine; contraindications together with practical postures and exercises to help support yourself or others with back problems and also how breathing affects the spine. Letting go of tension in your body will enable you to connect and strengthen deeper core muscles whilst releasing the more held 'outer' body. Vanda Scaravelli's style is a unique way of moving rests in the flow of the spine, energy, breath and gravity. She was a personal friend and student of BKS Iyengar throughout her life and as a young pianist came to yoga through the natural rhythm of music. She discovered, as you will, how as we accept the ground, connecting with our own breath, an amazing sense of lightness unfolds within, from the spine and ultimately throughout the entire body. Vanda felt that our core divided around the lumbar 4/5 vertebrae, the lower part above the pelvis and sacrum. From here gravity draws the legs downwards, creating more space in the curves of the spine and allowing more lightness in the rest of the body. Natural movement without pushing or forcing supports the spine to increase in length and as it starts to awaken, tension releases. This openness encourages everything else, the shoulders, hips, sacrum, pelvis, neck and head to open and ultimately profound changes occur... "Through the practicing of asana, that become the song of the body, the lightness and natural intelligence of the body mind will arise and within this, complete awareness and ultimate stillness unfolds..."
