Sunday October 20th Black Mountain Barn
Morning workshop: 10-1pm – to include soul food lunch.
Afternoon workshop: 2-5pm -to include sol food supper.
In these workshops, we’ll delve into all asana groups utilizing the support of ropes, enhancing alignment, and deepening stretches. From grounding standing poses to soothing forward bends, exhilarating backbends, detoxifying twists, and rejuvenating inversions, experience the synergy of ropes and yoga.
After our invigorating practice, we’ll share a delightful lunch/supper, followed by an optional stroll to the nearby river. Bring an empty bottle to fill with mountain spring water. All levels are welcome to join this supported and exciting workshop!
To quote Geeta Iyengar on Kurunta, “In our body, there are many ropes attached, and if we know how to use them, we can direct the mind and prana in the right direction.”
Secure your spot for an enriching yoga journey amidst nature’s embrace! 🌿🧘♂️
Yoga Kurunta aims to allow the body to be suspended as well as supported. Because the body is tethered by the ropes and anchored with the feet, a pose like Down Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) can be held for a much longer period of time. This gives you an opportunity to refine, focus and go deeper into the experience of asana.
Many beginners of yoga are not always ready for inversions, but working with ropes facilitates the process by making you feel more stable and secure. You will develop confidence to practice inversions which in the ropes are safe and easy to acheive. Just as a reminder, Inversion helps :
- Reduce back pain
- Increase mental awareness and concentration
- Increases digestive power and regulates elimination
- Helps detoxify the body as the lymph nodes and blood are purified
- Elevates mood, reduces depression and improves quality of life.
Heres a few take aways from our spring workshop;
It was fantastic to have the opportunity to try something new and be guided by you and all your knowledge and attention to detail. I really did enjoy the workshop, the venue, scenery (being in the mountains makes me feel truly alive even in the dismal weather), the food and the company were first class.
One of my highlights of my experience of the ropes would have to be the benefits that were felt after and that continued into today. I had the best nights sleep after the workshop that I’ve had for a long time and today I felt like I was walking far more upright, straighter and at least a foot taller all with totally relaxed shoulders. What a difference 🤩 My spine has definitely benefited from the rope experience.
Thank you soooooo much for being such an amazing and attentive teacher and for giving us this opportunity to deepen our yoga practice.
