Creative Yoga Therapy

Many styles of yoga have become regimented and repeat the same poses every week. Freestyle yoga has come to many yogis who have had various styles of training and advanced body awareness. The body’s intelligence takes over and uses all that it has experienced to put together the practice needed at the moment. Series can be repeated for some time and suddenly a whole new movement and discover may begin. It is spontaneous yet rehearsed in bit and steps. The concept is to encourage participants to approach each class with an open mind to their yoga practice.

It’s much more interesting and fun to attend a class where you can never fully anticipate what will be experienced next. This is very important to encourage both flexibility of body and mind.

The workshop encompasses strengthening exercises, long stretches (asanas) and play between the poses. There may be constant flow of movement and there will be periods of stillness. Pranayama, meditation and mantra are incorporated bringing you a full Yoga practice, all ultimately guided by you.

Yoga is the process of unraveling the tension that builds up in our bodies and minds. The wheels of this unraveling process are turned using poses, breathing, mantras, meditations and learning to listen within. We cleanse and purify, open and strengthen, and we prepare for the increase of life force that will guide us further forward. Eventually we begin to incorporate this process into the way we live our day to day lives. Like going with the flow and doing exactly what is needed at the moment.

Living in the moment! Let you Sadhana evolve.
