Anusara Weekend

Anusara Weekend with Patrick Creelman

16th-18th March 2012

Full Weekend R1650 or R375 per session

Venue:  Hot Dog Yoga Studio, Sea Point

This is the third visit Patrick has made to South Africa as a mission to empower and inspire by sharing all the teachings of Anusara Yoga and beyond.  This weekend will focus on accessible technique, healing application of the Universal Principles of Alignment, outlining self made practices to progress in more challenging poses (inversions and arm balances), empowering philosophy and community building.

Friday 7pm – 9pm – Opening Practice! Tapas: the fuel for transformation

A cathartic and heart opening practice of standing poses to build heat, twists to ring out tension, backbends to build strength and internal power all taught through a creatively stimulating vinyasa flow sequence.  This opening class will set a beautiful tone for the entire weekend by unveiling the transformative Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara Yoga, and the Tantric Vision of intrinsic goodness.

Saturday 10.30am – 12.30pm – Built to Last

A class of masterful inversions.  Using the Universal Principles of Alignment, learn effective preparation poses and exercises to build up to and then practice handstand, forearmstand, head and shoulderstand. A key focus will be on masterful alignment in the arms, neck and shoulders which will set a mature foundation for all students to leave with tools to continue their inversion practice for years to come.

Saturday 2pm – 4pm – Muddy Waters

NO MORE BACK PAIN! A slower, introspective practice of healing techniques for hip opening and twisting.  A focus on masterful alignment of the legs and pelvis intended to create clarity and freedom in the hips equalling freedom in the lower back.  Culminating in a deep Tantric meditation and pranayama practice.

Sunday 10.30am – 12.30pm – Air Miles

This is a playful workshop for climbing around with your feet off the ground. By making use of skillful awareness and intelligent effort you will learn to move gracefully into the dynamic and beautiful poses including: Bakasana, Parsva Bakasana, Visvamittrasana, Tittibhasana, Astavakrasana, Vasistasana I + II, Eka Pada Koundinyasana I + II, and handstands.

Sunday 2pm – 4pm – Pranic Charge

This class will leave you feeling boosted through a series of energy charging poses culminating in an exploratory meditation based on the subtle body anatomy, nadis, and the Tantric Chakra system will be taught with intricacy.  This class is both physically challenging and meditatively empowering.  Aimed at both students and teachers, be prepared to expand your yoga.
