Introduction au Yoga Iyengar

commençant le Jeudi 23 novembre 2017 à 11:00

This series of two workshops is designed to give an insight into Iyengar yoga practice and the opportunity to get acquainted with the main groups of asanas which build the regular daily practice.

The fundamental asanas are taught in a specific sequence from simple and basic to more difficult, so each previous asana prepares the body and mind for the following one. Asanas are performed statically with repetitions that make it possible to align the body from the base, moving gradually to the top, laying a solid foundation for safe home practice or further studies with yoga teachers.

Those who are new to yoga could benefit from this series of workshops, because they learn the basic poses which can be adjusted according to their own condition and needs, but it could also be very helpful for yoga practitioners of other yoga styles as well as they are able to add alignment and precision to already known postures and deepen their knowledge about the body and its work in asanas.

These workshops follow a logical sequence. Nevertheless, each workshop stands alone as a whole unit. Therefore, one can participate in any of the workshops independently, and we request that you register for them separately. Beginners are welcome!

Date	Time	Workshop
Sunday, Nov. 26	11:00-13:00	Standing poses lay a solid foundation Standing poses correct carriage and improve balance creating lightness in the body and agility in the mind. They shape and strengthen the leg and arm muscles and decrease stiffness in the legs, hips, and shoulders. This category of postures alleviates back and shoulder aches. The feet become supple, the ankles are strengthened, and the chest expands fully. Practice of the standing postures invigorates the abdominal organs, increases peristaltic activity, aids elimination, and increases the blood supply to the spine. Mastery of these poses increases stamina and prepares the student for all the other categories of poses.
Sunday, Dec. 10	11:00-13:00	Forward bends and seated postures “loosen the soil” (visit workshop page) Seated postures benefit reproductive organs and the urinary system and relieve menstrual irregularities. They alleviate pain and stiffness in the joints of the lower limbs. Practice of seated poses quiets the mind and reduces anxiety, tension, and mental stress. Forward bends loosen the joints and lengthen the muscles of the upper and lower extremities. They make the spine elastic. Blood flow is increased in the pelvis which benefits the digestive, reproductive and eliminative organs. Forward bends soothe the nerves, reduce stress and remove mental and physical fatigue. Twists increase lateral movement of the spine and blood supply to the region of the discs. They relieve neck and shoulder pain, tension and stiffness. Backache may also be alleviated with the practice of lateral extensions.

Enseignant : Beata Gerbredere

Avec 14 ans d'expérience comme enseignante de Yoga Iyengar, Beata a commencé sa pratique à l’age de 17 ans. Elle a étudié avec Faeq Biria, directeur du Centre de Yoga Iyengar à Paris. Sous sa direction, la pratique d’asana était physiquement exigeante mais avait apporté beaucoup de bonheur et de lumière. Elle a reçu sa certification Iyengar de 3 ans et 500 heures en 2003 et a donné des cours et dirigé des stages en Lettonie pour les débutants et les élèves avancés. Pour mieux comprendre la mécanique corporelle, elle a étudié la kinésithérapie.
