Simon Borg-Olivier-Moving Energy with Yoga
From 25 to 26 Oct 2008
YogaJaya Daikanyama Studio

This workshop will cover how to use asana (posture), vinyasas (movement) and pranayama (breath control) to move prana (energy) and citta (consciousness) through the nadis (subtle channels of the body). It is said that the main purpose of yoga is to realize that our individual consciousness and the universal consciousness are one; but the physical purpose of hatha yoga is to enhance the connections within our physical body.

Simon will teach practical ways to unblock your body and circulate energy and information in its various forms through the blood vessels, nerves, and acupuncture meridians. You will be shown how to develop your yoga practice so that it becomes effortless, relaxing and energizing while simultaneously increasing strength and flexibility.

Each module is progressive, and the last module will include a 90 minute lead meditative dynamic static practice that will consolidate the teachings of the workshop.

Module 1-Connections within our physical body
Module 2-Clearing physical blockages
Module 3- Relaxing and energizing, with increased strength and flexibility
Module 4-Progression in action
