Workshops & Masterclasses
BEND WITHOUT BREAKING. Backbends with Ron.
SAT 16:30-19 Uhr /4:30-7 pm
In order to liberate our energy in backbends, we first need to discover ways of working that allow us to find balance through the whole body. This requires stabilizing and strengthening in some areas, and extending and opening other areas. We will be exploring the components necessary for developing both deeper and more balanced backbends. With lots of modifications for all levels!
PILLARS OF STRENGHT. Armbalances with Ron.
SUN 15-17 Uhr/3-5
Arm balances help us to develop the strength, stamina and focus to truly energize our practice., Finding stability through proper placement and alignment of the hands, arms and shoulders in arm balances.
By learning how to build from the ground up we will find the means to master these challenging poses and transform struggle into ease.In this workshop we will embrace the work in more exhilarating arm balances (such as headstands, handstands, and forearm balances) to feel a shift towards a stronger, healthier, more confident and more stable experience in our practice.
SHANTI PULSE Vinyasa & Rhythm with Ron & Marla.
MON 10-12 Uhr
This class is set to the Swaha recording (Marla and Ron's band) of “Shanti Pulse”, a 1 hour and 40 minute piece of music that uplifts and inspires the practice. In shanti pulse, peace chants weave their way through electro-acoustic ambient grooves, while Ron and Meenakshi blend elements of Vinyasa Yoga into a transformative and inspirational experience. The blend of prayer, pulse and trance-inducing spaces take us on a journey to find the breath and ride it into both an earthy and transcendental experience. Culminating in a short yoga nidra and chanting!
PRANAYAMA, RESTORATIVE & NIDRA with Ron & Marla.
