Elements of Yoga - Akasha Sunday 23. 5.
Exploring inner and outer space
A different kind of yoga workshop with James Boag
Akasha - ether or space - is the subtlest of the five elements: the one in which earth, water, fire and air exist. Akasha is also that in which we exist. By refining our relationship to the space inside and around us we create energetic pathways to support steadier and more joyful existence in the space we inhabit.
Using essential verses from the Bhagavad Gita and the niyama and asana sections of the second chapter of Patanjali's yoga sutras as the principal reference context, this workshop class will also draw on principles from modern dance to develop tools and techniques to refine and invigorate our relationship to the space inside and around us. These techniques can be applied to all types of mat-based yoga practice and to the broader context of yoga in our daily lives.
In the afternoon, participants can continue to refine the awareness of the space which expands from the centre on the slackline in the Letná park.
We will close the day with evening Kirtan led by James from 5:00 - 7:00 pm at the studio. According to traditional systems of Indian knowledge, the defining characteristic of akasha is sound, vibration. Join James for a blissful journey of devotional chanting and experience how the simple and uplifting practice of call and response kirtan can transform your vibration.
