- Elasticity, connection & awareness // Somatic Yoga, Fascia anatomy & Feldenkrais Methode

Awareness through Movement

This event can be booked as workshop or attend as module of the advanced training in Somatic Yoga.

Previous experience in somatics/bodywork/yoga is recommended.

What does this workshop include?

Within the theme ELASTICITY we use the Feldenkrais method in this workshop to let the yoga become light and stable at the same time, and thus to approach the yoga sutra of Patanjali 'Sthira Sukham Asanam' with very current and individual liveliness. Experiential anatomy of the fascia and somatic practice with the connective tissue deepen the body knowledge and allow breath and orientation in movement and stillness.

• Method focus: Yoga & Feldenkrais Methode
• Principals: Dynamic / Power / Expression / Direction
• Experiential anatomy: Fascia

For whom is this workshop recommended?

• Yoga teachers who have already enjoyed a basic yoga training and are looking for inspiration and reflection for their own work
• Yoga practitioners who want to find a new, sensory-perceptual approach and deepen their practice
• Researchers and people interested in all somatic methods who appreciate an interdisciplinary approach
• Pedagogues, therapists, doctors, etc., who are looking for impulses of a well-founded body and movement perception

The modules 6 - 11 of our Somatic Yoga training allow to deepen the knowledge about somatic methods from breath work according to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Continuum, Somatic Voice and Feldenkrais Methode in relation to the yoga repertoire in individual modules/workshops. The expanding understanding of 'knowing oneself' opens up a new space of freedom. The design and composition of the yoga sequences in this further encounter with freedom is supported by the rhythms and decision criteria of the Somatic Methods and by improvisational strategies.
