Yama and Niyama: The yamas and niyamas are the foundations of yoga. Why are they important? What is the difference between applying them from the outside and experiencing them from the inside out? Why some traditions do not mention them? What happens if we over- or under-emphasize them?

Asana: Why classical vinyasa yoga is the ideal foundation for Patanjali yoga and why vinyasa-less yoga is not based on scripture. What are Ashtanga Vinyasaʼs connections to the Yoga Sutra in its sequential and simultaneous applications?

Sanskrit Chanting and Mantra: Sanskrit is the sacred, ancient language of Yoga. The yogis say that knowledge is encrypted in sound. Correct pronunciation will lead to yogic knowledge because Sanskrit is encrypted yogic knowledge.

Kriya: The kriyas (shatkarmas) have two functions: firstly they are powerful methods of purification of the body and secondly their advanced versions are important ancillaries for the process of raising Kundalini. As purification exercises they support the work of the postures and are especially important for people who live in large cities.

Pranayama: Pranayama is the prime yogic method to achieve radiant health and spiritual fulfilment. It is the link to connect posture practice with meditation and it is the axial limb of yoga. We look at the fundamentals required to establish a successful pranayama practice (asana, mitahara, Bandha and Kriya) and trace pranayamaʼs sources in yogic scripture.

Pratyahara: How is pratyahara related to the yamas, niyamas? Various techniques of pratyahara based on asana, pranayama and meditation are introduced.

Mudras: Mudras are a large group of yogic techniques that are designed to divert subtle energy (prana) into a particular direction for a particular yogic purpose. They are powerful tools to achieve success in asana, pranayama, kundalini raising and meditation.

Dharana and Dhyana: We will enquire why Kundalini is not mentioned in the Yoga Sutra? Kundalini is the coiled life force and engine of spiritual evolution. If left resting at the base of the spine we are enslaved by our urges and desires.

Samadhi: What are the exact differences between dharana, dhyana and Samadhi? What are the various ways of attaining Samadhi (Bhramar, Yoni, Nadanusandhana etc) and what are the main avenues (Jnana, Karma, Bhakti)?

Gregor teaches an anatomically sophisticated interpretation of traditional vinyasa yoga, integrated into the practice of the higher limbs in the spirit of Patanjali and T. Krishnamacharya.

Asana (Yoga postures) forms the bedrock from which all other yogic techniques arise. It forms the base from which success in higher yogic techniques can be integrated. Our body is the combined crystallized history of our past thoughts, words and actions and as such one of the storehouses of our conditioning. The releasing of our conditioning and emotions lodged in bodily tissue supports and enables mental and spiritual freedom. This is possible if asana is practiced in a compassionate and intelligent way, with a maximum of precise anatomical alignment and without imposing the ambitions of our minds how far we have to go into the postures. If anatomical precision is supported by correct breath-work, bandhas and drishtis, the pranic flow in the body can be experienced as a liberating tool.

Gregor is using three formats of asana classes according to the needs of the particular group:

1. Technical Talk-Through to analyse the anatomical details of the postures and to break down the various phases of entering and exiting the posturesinto their constituents. Through inducing precision this format also achieves that students practice the postures safely without encountering demerit.

2. The Mysore-style format is used to attend to the individual needs of students, to eliminate individual problems and to propel them to the next level.

3. The Vinyasa-count format serves to establish students in an even rhythm, making the practice a meditative experience beyond mind. It also helps to dissolve energetic blockages and enhances pranic flow.

Gregor teaches an anatomically sophisticated interpretation of traditional vinyasa yoga, integrated into the practice of the higher limbs in the spirit of Patanjali and T. Krishnamacharya. His zany sense of humour, his manifold personal experiences, his vast and in depth knowledge of scripture, Indian philosophies and yogic techniques combine to make Gregor’s teachings applicable, relevant and easily accessible to all his students.

Gregor started his Yogic practices 30 years ago. In the mid-80’s he commenced yearly travels to India where he studied with various yogic and tantric masters and traditional Indian sadhus. Amongst others he studied for 14 months with K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India, and in 1997 was authorized by him to teach.

with Gregor Maehle

Yoga philosophy is a tool to gain inner freedom. Inner freedom means to be able to dictate our mind what to do, what it needs to think or when it should be quite. This is the exact opposite what happens in many people lives who are completely dominated by their own mind. Yogic philosophy is a training that teaches you to use your mind in the same efficient and creative way that asana is a training to use your body. For example when you perform an exercise you command a muscle to contract and once the exercise is completed the brain signals the muscle to relax so that the energy needed to contract it can be diverted to other areas. The mind is a thinking muscle only with the difference that it has lost the ability to let go and relax after it has solved a task.

Being in a constant thinking-spasm it uses up much of our life force, which could be diverted to more useful tasks. Mastery over mind (rather than mind being our master) is gained through yogic philosophy. To gain this mastery we need to be able to understand and free us from our conditioning (vasana). You will understand how conditioning is created by your past thoughts, words and actions and how to change future conditioning by changing your present thoughts, words and actions.

In India Gregor also received eight months of mostly one-on-one instruction in scripture and the higher limbs of Yoga from BNS Iyengar, a student of T. Krishnamacharya. Additionally he studied Sanskrit under Professor Narayanachar and Dr. Chandrasekhar. Gregor lived several years as a recluse, spending his days studying Sanskrit, yogic scripture and practising yogic techniques.

with Jaye Martin

Go back to the basics starting with your foundation. Perfecting the root of our yoga asana enables us to blossom into more complicated postures with ease and stability. We stand on our legs throughout our day, therefore the foundation of our movement should come from the actions of the legs and radiate into the core. From a firm and steady footing we can begin to add building blocks onto our yoga practice. With awareness of the breath, understanding of alignment and a connection with our core we start to free the mind from the restraints of the body. Remember The Highest, Pure Consciousness, The Divine, Source Energy, The Universal, God is the foundation of your very being. Return to this essential and basic truth to add clarity and meaning to your asana practice. Basic does not mean easy!

Jaye Martin, RYT 500, is an exuberant yoga teacher who is highly acclaimed and widely sought after for his expertise, enthusiasm, and spirituality. Loved for his heart and intelligence alike, Jaye gifts students of all levels with his bright spirit and his skill in communicating both the subtle and technical aspects of the practice.

with Emma Henry

The activities and stresses of our daily lives can often lead to tightness and discomfort in our hips. Our vital body functions, including digestion and elimination, can be greatly compromised by sitting in chairs all day. Lack of mobility in the hips can also cause problems with the lower back and knee joints and move up the torso to the shoulders and neck. Eek!

This workshop will focus on ways to ease some of that tension by practicing yoga poses that encourage flexibility while strengthening the muscles that enable you to take it even deeper. The uber-hip Miss Emma Henry will lead this enlightening workshop taking you on a journey of self-exploration and eventually letting go.

Emma was introduced to yoga in the mid 90s and has been teaching since 1998. Her background in dance and martial arts is evident in her dynamic, innovative and playful choreography and understanding of anatomy and the subtle body. Her yogic path has led her to Mysore, practicing astanga with Sri K Pattabhi Jois, advanced certification in the Jivamukti method with Sharon Gannon and David Life and to her own daily practice of alignment based Iyengar yoga.  Her goal is to create a space for practitioners to feel inspired, nurtured and uplifted. She has hosted yoga workshops and retreats around the world with many happy returning for more, year after year.

In the second of three anatomy workshops, the lower extremity covers the core musculoskeletal anatomy of the hip, knee and the ankle, which is essential to understanding the physical practice of yoga.

Osteology (bones), arthrology (joints), myology (muscles) and basic neurology (nerves) will be discussed in depth in order to explore the biomechanical requirements of the lower extremity and how this relates to asana.

Further relevance will be made by evaluating vulnerable positions of key anatomical structures, describing the dysfunctional kinematics responsible for common conditions and providing advice for the prevention and treatment of these injuries.

Twists in standing, seated and inverted asanas cultivate energy, clarity and vitality. The actions required are cleansing , invigorating and very important for spinal health. The lateral extensions are very effective in relieving stiffness in the neck and shoulders and realigning the spine.

In this workshop you will work through a sequence with particular focus on asanas that  require a twisting action in the torso. As the trunk turns, the kidney and abdominal organs are activated and exercised. These movements improve the digestive system and remove sluggishness, leaving the body feeling refreshed and renjuvenated.

Claudia’s utilisation of props allows her students to progress in the postures safely with intelligence and with a spark of dynamism. When we twist from a firm foundation we cultivate the ability to broaden our perspective, giving us the strength to digest things in our lives.

Claudia has been  studying yoga since 1998. She is an Iyengar Yoga JR Intermediate teacher and practices regularly with senior teacher, Alaric Newcombe. She greatly understands the needs of different body types and carefully customises the practice for each student. She believes in a system of teaching that is methodical and progressive, emphasising detailed alignment and firm thigh muscles. She teaches with joy, passion and an open heart. Her classes are always filled with melodious laughter!

This workshop is suitable for all, except complete beginners.

Sometimes we don’t have the time to come to class but feel the need to do some postures at home but are unsure of where to start. Helen’s Iyengar workshop has been designed to give you the knowledge you need to unroll your mat anywhere, with confidence.

This four hour workshop will focus on some of the key pilars of Iyengar Yoga that Helen learned while practicing with the Iyengar family in Pune! Various props: bricks, blocks, belts, blankets, ropes etc will be used to better understand the correct action of the asana.

The objective of this workshop is to have the luxury of time to explore and experience groups of postures in more depth which is not often possible in a regular class scenario. Helen will give you the tools to be able to sequence a well balanced practice, with this knowledge you can begin to piece together a home practice that suits you and your body.

Helen is a qualified Iyengar yoga JR Intermediate teacher and combines precise and careful body alignment with a dynamic and flowing teaching style.

with Ursula Scherrer

In this two day workshop we will take a journey from the extremities all the way into the depth of our being. Both days we will do a 2 hour Asana practice which will culminate in a simple, ancient Pranayama. We will align the body from the hands and feet playing with details like how a small adjustment in the fingers can effect the whole body, its alignment, flow of energy and expansion of breath. After exploring our bodies from the physical plane we will move to our inner being with a lying down Pranayama practice. There will be enough time for questions and sharing of thoughts. This workshop is at once invigorating, relaxing and deeply healing. Come nurture the gift of your body and breath – open blocks to allow energy to flow freely within your body, mind and spirit to reconnect with the universe without and within. Open level – everybody is welcome. To get the full benefit of this workshop come for both days, you are also welcome to just come for one.

Ursula Scherrer started practicing Yoga shortly after she moved to New York from her native Switzerland in 1988. After Ursula explored different styles of Yoga for her own spiritual and physical well being, she did her first teacher training in 2002 and is teaching ever since. In her classes she brings together the experiences and knowledge of the different parts of her life to inspire her students to find their own unique way of being. Yoga, Breath Healing and Qi Gong accompanied her and gave her strength through all the many changes and challenges in her life.

“The practice is not in the asana, it is in the awareness.” Julie Martin

Finding our Strength and Stability. Our true core strength comes from working with our connection to the earth and drawing it back towards our centre. This allows us to engage the universal core muscles (not just the abdominals) giving us stability and yet allowing complete freedom of movement.
This afternoon will include a 1h45m asana practice working with the principles of using our Foundation and Core within a flowing sequence. We will also breakdown these principles and work with tools to help us find our true strength and stability in any practice at any time. When we are rooted in the earth we can float in the breeze with ease and grace.

“The practice is not in the asana, it is in the awareness.” Julie Martin

Do you ever wonder where you are in your practice? Suddenly realised your mind was wandering off in a hundred different places? Our use of Dristi is an important part of Pratyahara, the withdrawing of the senses. We allow our energy and focus to be dissipated when we let our eyes wander. Every little thing we notice with our eyes needs identification and processing in our brains. However when we focus our Dristi in our asana practice our mind has less to process and therefore can settle into our experience of being in this body. This simple tool can be so powerful in bringing a heightened awareness of how we move, how we breathe and our process of being still. Julie will guide you through a flowing sequence continually directing your dristi and awareness to quiet the mind and dive deeper in your experience.

The last hour of this session will include pranayama techniques and guided meditation. All levels welcome.
