S'établir dans le souffle du yoga (2 hr)
Dimanche 17 mars 09:30 - 11:30
Breathing is an amazing physiological function: it happens mostly under the threshold of our awareness, yet it can partially be brought under our control. The conscious intervention on the breath is a cornerstone of many yogic breathing practices. Any such intervention requires skillfulness as it impacts many parameters of our organism: our nervous system, blood pressure, muscle tone, etc. Yet, many of us come to yoga with already strained, inefficient breathing and decreased sensitivity to what happens as we breathe. Before the formal practice of pranayama, we thus first need to rediscover the connection with our own breath.
This three-part series helps students develop breath qualities and skills which are fundamental for pranayama and will enhance asana practice as well. The overall program is layered and progressive, but each session stands as a complete whole and can be taken independently. In each session, the insights from specific techniques and practices are applied in the formal practice of foundational pranayama practices of nadi shodhana and ujjayi.
In the first session (January 28th), we shed more light on the purpose of interventions on breathing, as well as the qualities we seek within different techniques. Students will understand interconnection between different breath phases, and will work with techniques helpful in cultivating sensitivity to breath, developing breath regulation and gradually extending the breath without causing strain or unnecessary stress.
In the second session (March 3rd), we will work further on practices to develop more subtle awareness of breathing patterns, progressing towards fuller exhalation and deeper and effortless inhalation. We will also discuss and observe the pattern of prana and apana within the breath cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have elevated blood pressure, glaucoma, hernia, acid reflux, or are pregnant, please consult before registering.

Style : Pranayama - Respiration yogique
La respiration consciente exige présence et concentration continue. Les pratiques respiratoires purifient les canaux énergétiques du corps, appelés "nadis”, et ont une influence directe sur notre santé physique, émotionnelle et mentale. Nous pratiquons les exercices respiratoires du pranayama traditionnel et nous utilisons les 3 Bhandas: verrouillage de la racine, verrouillage abdominale, verrouillage du menton et tous les exercices préparatoires y nécessaires.

Enseignant : Marija Bjekovic
Marija practiced Ashtanga vinyasa yoga since 2008 under the guidance of Denise Pesch. Over time, she complemented Ashtanga with Iyengar Yoga (with Constantinos Giannetakis) and with Vinyasa Krama. This brought an understanding of how to wisely adapt the physical practice in order to emphasize strength, mobility, mental focus or healing as needed. With gradual extension to other limbs of yoga, her practice became a means to balance energy, reconnect to a state of deep inner peace, and relate to the world more meaningfully. Her teaching path started after 200 hours of Ashtanga yoga teacher training with John Scott and Lucy Crawford Scott in 2015. Over the years, she continued her studies and teaching within the lineage of Sri T. Krishnamcharya (the father of modern yoga and a pioneer in yoga therapy) through Srivatsa Ramaswami and A.G. Mohan. She is currently following an 800-hour Svastha Yoga Therapy Foundations program with A.G. Mohan and his family.
