Kundalini Yoga workshop

With Nana Georgiou, professional Yoga teacher

Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of awareness, consists of simple Yogic techniques that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter the age or physical ability. It is a complete science that includes breath (pranayam), yoga postures (asanas), sound, chanting (mantra), and meditation. It is designed to provide you with the experience of your highest consciousness through the raising of your Kundalini.

The word Kundalini literally means 'the curl of the hair of the beloved'. It is a metaphor; a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness that already exists within each and everyone of us.

This workshop will include pranayama (the manipulation of the breath), exercises on body locks and chakras, kriyas, asanas, and different meditation for a calm heart and self renewal. It is open to everybody especially for those who have practiced Hatha Yoga and would like an introduction to a different style.

Nana began learning Kundalini Yoga 15 years ago with Astrid Felsenreich, a student of yogi Bhajan. In her Yoga journey, Nana studied different types of Yoga and has always used Kundalini in her teachings.

Body Mind Centering with Contact Improvisation

With Natalie Heller

This workshop is designed to explore the mind/body unity. Using features from Bonnie Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering in combination with Contact Improvisation and Breath-work our goal is to awaken the body, stimulate the imagination and deepen our sense perception. We work through muscles, bone and skin to encourage an immediate connection with sensations in the body. Body- Mind Centering is a movement technique which makes use of imagery to instigate an awareness of body sensation. Using this technique physical body patterns which cause pain or restriction of movement can be recognized and altered. Contact Improvisation is a combination of inner listening, rolling, gymnastic-like moves and play. We use our body to release weight into another body. This compression of the muscular system releases stress and alleviates the nervous system. The experience is often an opening of awareness of our selves and others.

The internal is used to effect the external as our emotions inspire our movement pathways, our interactions with other people and our relationship to the space around us.
