TANTRA: THE ART OF LIVING
Being fully alive does not depend on knowledge, wealth, possessions but on being authentic in your own nature. To truly flourish as a human being your true nature as unconditional love needs to be the foundation of your living. This workshop will present Tantra as a way of deep, loving intimacy rather than a practice of exotic erotic sexuality. There will be no exploration or presentation of sexual techniques. Instead we will use yoga posture praxis, pranayama and meditation to engage, release and assimilate the deep energies of being human that underpin our ability to be intimate and satisfied as sexual beings.

Friday 17.00-20.00

TANTRA, THE ART OF LIVING

Godfrey will give a talk on the tantric approach to life, and its implications for human spirituality, sexuality and relationship. The talk will provide a conceptual contextualisation for the weekend workshop, but is open to anyone interested in relationship, sexuality, spirituality or self enquiry.

price: 300DKR

Saturday all day 10.00-18.00 (with lunch break)

MAKING LOVE: THE ART OF INTIMACY
Making love is not a skill, but a frame of mind. Becoming intimate with your own presence as love is the only way to become able to be genuinely intimate in love with others. This session will explore the experiences, attitudes, and tools that can make genuine love a real possibility, while remaining clothed. Using yoga posture praxis, pranayama and meditation godfrey will use refined and focussed instruction to invite you to experience the deep, impersonal love at the heart of human consciousness. Open to anyone interested in love and intimacy regardless of experience in yoga. There will be no sexual activity during this workshop, as we will be exploring the love upon which satisfying sexual activity depends.

Sunday all day 10.00-18.00 (with lunch break)

TANTRA: THE ART OF LIVING
To thrive as a human being in relationship to others core sexual energy must be flowing freely without repression or indulgence.  This requires a deep intimacy with the subtle presence of your body that can allow you to let go of the habits that distort your sexual energy creating difficulties with sensitivity, honesty, openness, intimacy and authenticity. Using yoga posture praxis, pranayama and meditation while clothed godfrey will use intimate instruction and contact to invite you to  access, release and harmonise your core sexual energy so that you can live more freely and fully. Open to anyone interested in being fully alive regardless of experience in yoga. There will be no sexual activity during this workshop, as we will be exploring the energies upon which satisfying sexual activity depends.

DYNAMIC YOGA WORKSHOP

A three-hour introductory workshop with Godfrey. Open to all.

Dynamic Yoga the Training Method makes you feel good. In your body and in your mind. Not just on the surface, but deep down. Not just while doing it, but afterwards too. No matter your age, experience, flexibility or strength, Dynamic Yoga allows you to access and enjoy the eight limbs (ashtanga) of classical yoga practice by flowing intelligently from movement into deep stillness, and into the meditative mind (citta vrtti nirodha) explored in the The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Soft rhythmic movements synchronised with the breath fully harness the mobiity of the body to awaken and energise it. Focussed sensitivity to sensation quietens and clarifies the mind, so that a deep intimacy with body, mind and spirit becomes possible without demanding extremes of strength and flexibility. This invites you to spiritual integration by way of functional, structural and energetic integrity.

Price: 300 DKR

I yoga undervises fysiske stillinger, åndedrætsøvelser og meditation oftest som selvstændige teknikker. Når de tre opleves simultant åbner de døren til at dybere lag af din praksis. På denne workshop får du mulighed for at undersøge hvordan det at arbejde i flow kan hjælpe dig til at finde et meditativt nærvær hele vejen igennem en dynamisk yogapraksis. I stedet for at skulle følge klassens fælles tempo lærer at følge dit naturlige åndedræts indre rytme. Denne indre vinyasa giver dig en konkret og kropslig erfaring med enheden bag krop, åndedræt og bevidsthed.

Workshoppen er åben for alle. Den undervises på dansk eller men hvis nødvendigt kan vi skifte til engelsk. (class in English if required)

Som børn lærer vi at opfatte og bruge kroppen gennem distinktioner. Vi lærer at skelne mellem aktiv/passiv, smerte/nydelse, højre/venstre, op/ned, indre/ydre og selv/anden for at lære at navigere i verden. På samme måde som at vi overser baggrundsstøjen når vi har travlt med at lytte til en samtale, kan vores fokus på adskilte dele og distinktioner hurtigt få os til et glemme den enhed som er vores dybeste natur. Yogaens fysiske praksis hjælper os til at integrere det vi oplever som adskilt så vi igen kan høre livets blide baggrundsstøj og mærke den totalitet som vores distinktioner opstår fra.

Birgitte underviser en serie af workshops der arbejder med yoga som enhed fra helt konkrete kropslige erfaringer og ikke som en abstrakt filosofisk overbygning. Hver workshop starter et sted i kroppen og viser dig hvordan kroppens tilsyneladende adskilte dele fungerer som et udeleligt hele. Du bliver guidet igennem en lang flow-baseret yogaklasse, en dyb afspænding og en kort siddende meditation. Vi balancerer muskelaktivitet og forløsning og vi arbejder både med bevægelse og stilhed. Hver workshop slutter med en afklarende dialog over en kop the. Hvis du kommer til begge klasser lørdag kan vi bestille vegetarisk frokost til dig for ca. 100 kr.

Du kan booke hver enkelt workshop som en separat event eller kombinere dem som du vil. Du får rabat hvis du booker hele forløbet fra torsdag aften til og med lørdag eftermiddag. Elever der ikke bor i København er velkommen til at blive og overnatte gratis i yogarummet.

Bandhaer eller kropslåse beskrives ofte som yogiske teknikker til at låse, tilbageholde og udnytte energien I kroppen. På denne workshop arbejder vi med deres evne til at integrere, frisætte og ”låse op” for en oplevelse af enhed (yoga). Bandhaerne er på ingen måde esoteriske, mystiske eller svære at lære. Tvært imod er du født med bandhaerne som helt naturlige funktioner i kroppen når den er aktiv og hele kroppen arbejder harmonisk sammen. Når der er integritet og sammenhæng i kroppen i de fysiske stillinger i yoga, opstår bandhaerne spontant som en naturlig sideeffekt. Aktiveringen af bandhas er typisk det som udgør forskellen mellem oplevelsen af yogastillinger som ren fysisk træning og oplevelsen af yogastillinger som en spirituel og integrerende praksis.

På denne workshop vil du lære hvordan du i de fysiske stillinger kan invitere bandhaerne som en naturlig del af din praksis snarere end som en separat teknik (som f.eks at trække maven tilbage mod rygsøjlen, spænde i bækkenbunden eller holde vejret). En serie af fire klasser guider dig hen imod muskulær og energetisk integration ved at lære dig hvordan bandhaerne hænger sammen med f.eks aktiveringen af hænder og fødder. Klasserne undervises primært som et langt flow af yogastillinger, men der vil også være små kollektive eksperimenter på yogamåtten, dialog og praksis I mindre grupper.

Fredag17.00-20.00: Blødhed

En blid aftenklasse på gulvet hvor vi arbejder med at aktivere rygsøjlen I små bagoverbøjninger og rotationer. Du lærer at aktivere de dybe muskler der ligger tæt ved rygsøjlen som er helt vitale for bandhaerne samt at slappe af og blive blød i den dybe kerne af kroppen. Denne klasse er en god forberedelse til weekendens workshop men er åben for alle.

Lærdag-Søndag 9.30-16.30: Asana som bandha

9:30 – 12:30: Dynamic yoga klasse, afspænding og siddende meditation

13:30 -16:30: undersøgelse og eksperimenter med morgenens teknikker samt en kortere, blid yogaklasse til at slutte dagen på.

Sunday 17.00-18.30: Bandha I din undervisning (for yogalærere)

Denne ekstra klasse er åben for yogalærere der har deltaget i hele workshoppen ”asana som bandha”. (Hvis du endnu er under uddannelse til yogalærer er du også velkommen så længe du har deltaget i weekendens workshop). Vi går bag kulissen og kigger på metoden bag weekendens undervisning. Hvilke instruktioner er væsentlige når du underviser asana som bandha? Hvordan sekvenserer du en klasse der har bandha som tema? Hvorfor er bandhaerne vigtige og hvad er deres betydning for yogaens fysiske stillinger? Hvad er de mest almindelige misforståelser omkring bandhaerne? Klassen foregår som en løbende dialog afbrudt af kollektive eksperimenter på yogamåtten.

Sanserne er dit indre kompas. Alt hvad du ved, alt hvad du har lært, alt hvad du kan hviler på din krops evne til at opfatte sansefornemmelser. At mærke er ikke det samme som at iagttage eller sætte navn på det der sker. Når vi går dybere end vores viden om kroppen, dybere end vores evne til at tale til os selv, finder vi vores indre yoga-guide helt uden mystik og akrobatiske krumspring. På denne klasse får du en introduktion til hvordan Dynamic Yoga arbejder med sensitivitet som grundlaget for de fysiske stillinger i yoga. Du bliver guidet igennem et meditativt flow af månehilsner samt liggende stillinger som øger din evne til at mærke kroppen og handle spontant på dens indre sandhed.

Workshoppen er åben for alle der interesserer sig for yoga og/eller meditation.

The date is set! We are going to Ibiza for a yoga retreat extravaganza!
We are proud to be working with one of the worlds best retreat centres on this luxurious week of high quality yoga, stunning nature and delicious detoxing food. The award winning retreat provider started in Formentera and quickly earned its space in Tachens “Great yoga retreats of the world”. Since then it has received wide recognition for its top quality retreats venues. In 2012 they opened a new venue in the north of Ibiza that is likely to go straight to the top ten in Europe. They feel especially passionate about the Dynamic Yoga Training Method and this is their first retreat hosting a senior Dynamic Yoga teacher. Our Ibiza Country House is away from the city, has a lovely seaview and is within walking distance of one of the finest beaches in Ibiza (Aguas Blanchas).

What´s its all about:

This 7-day retreat will take you on a step by step journey into loving yourself just as you are by becoming deeply intimate with your body and mind. Sunrise pranayama and yoga posture practice, afternoon softening explorations and a progressive series of evening meditations allow you to take your practice deeper day by day and discover the wisdom and unbounded love within you.

The food for this retreat is tailor made to fit your body-loving yoga practice. You will enjoy some super delicious home cooked vegetarian food that awakens your senses while allowing your body to cleanse itself. Detoxing is a delight with the right chef in the kitchen!

You will learn how to refine your actions on the basis of their impacts so as to be able to enjoy the spontaneous internalisation of awareness that flows from effortless effort. This immersion is open to anyone, teachers as well as pratititioners, interested in the biomechanical and energetic integrity of the bodimind. It is especially fruitful for newcomers to yoga posture praxis, and anyone who considers themselves to be an advanced practitioner.

Booking: info@dynamicyoga.dk. The price for one immersion module will be around 4200 Swedish Kroner. A fixed EUR price is coming up very soon.

About immersion modules and Dynamic Yoga Teacher Training

In 2014 dynamicyoga.dk and Yogarummet  will be hosting 4 immersions in Stockholm. The modules are open to anyone wanting to deepen their yoga practice. Each immersion can be booked individually and can be taken in any order. The immersions are open to all yoga practioners

Taken together, the four immersions constitute the first half of the 200-hour Dynamic yoga teacher training. In practice though, this involves close to 300 hours of contact hours in training. To become certified in this 200hour training you will need to complete all four immersion modules (again in no particular order) plus a 3 week residential ‘Teaching Skills’ intensive with Godfrey Devereux and Olivia Crooks. This is held each September in France at Windfire School of Yoga. Any trained teacher with a 200 hour certificate from another school of yoga, can add these hours to this 200hour training to make 500hours.

Each day will include a long yoga practice with pranayama and meditation and a presentation of the postures and techniques used in the morning practice. The afternoon consists of a guided exploration of the techniques and if time another short yoga class at the end of the day.

THE TEACHERS:

OLIVIA CROOKS

Totally committed to allowing the wisdom of life to guide her through the intelligence of the body Olivia has a manner and teaching style based on the depths and subtleties of her personal practice. Inspiring and supportive, she is able to invite practitioners of all experience to go deeper into their own nature safely and effectively, while bringing new, liberating insights from the mat into daily life. She began formal Yoga teacher training in Sydney, Australia by completing 1000hrs in 2001. Since 2004 she has been studying the Dynamic Yoga Training Method closely with its originator Godfri  Devereux, and has completed 10,000 hrs in a Teachers Apprenticeship with him. She is one of only two certified Senior Trainers of the Method.

BIRGITTE GORM HANSEN (www.dynamicyoga.dk)
Is one of the five senior teachers in Dynamic Yoga. Originally trained as a psychologist (Ph.D) she started practicing yoga in 1996 and has taught since 2001. Birgitte is based in Copenhagen, Denmark but frequently teaches workshops and retreats in Scandinavia and around Europe.

Birgitte has studied with Godfrey Devereux through all her years of teaching and has been assisting Dynamic Yoga Teacher trainings since 2006. Her instruction is joyfully clear and comes from a deep commitment to help students access their teacher within. Her classes invite you to subtlety deepen the awareness of your physical body and establish the deepest possible intimacy with life, just as it is.

In her practice and teaching she enquires into the possibility of falling lightheartedly from the pedestal of knowledge into the arms of wisdom.

10.00-13.00: Flow-meditation

En serie af meget enkle yogastillinger inviterer dig til at finde meditationen i bevægelsen og lade åndedræt og bevidsthed smelte sammen til en blid indre rytme. Små bølgebevægelser (ullola) bringer dig helt ind til hjertet af din oplevelse af kroppen og forbereder dig til siddende meditation. Klassen er blid og langsom og handler mere om den indre tilstand end om det ydre udtryk.

Workshoppen er åben for alle, også dig der aldrig har prøvet yoga før.

14.00-17.00: Siddende meditation

Meditation undervises ofte som ”træning af sindet” eller ”kontrol af sindet”. I Dynamic Yoga går vi til meditation som en kropslig praksis. Snarere end at disciplinere dig selv handler denne workshop om at møde det, du allerede er. En serie af siddende meditationer afbrudt af små bløde yoga flows tager dig gradvist dybere ind i din oplevelse af kroppen. Vi går til meditation som en fysisk og sansebaseret praksis snarere end en mental observation.

Workshoppen er åben for alle der har lyst til at lære at meditere, også selv om du ikke har nogen tidligere erfaring. For dig der har stiftet bekendtskab med mindfulness, vipasana eller zen vil workshoppen kunne tage dig dybere i din praksis og give dig nogle nye teknikker at lege med. (max 14 deltagere)

GODFREY DEVEREUX
Godfri’s pioneering journey into the roots of human experience is grounded in a lifetime of yoga practice on mat and cushion that began when he was 16 years old. Fertilised by professional training in Child Development and Education, Oriental Medicine, and dedicated study with masters of Zen, Advaita and Tantra as well as Indian Yoga Gurus, Godfri’s practice has brought him to a deep, lucid intimacy with the subtleties of being human within which its apparent paradoxes are all heart-warmingly resolved. His teaching will invite you to the same.

Meditation og yoga betragtes af mange som to adskilte praksisser. Den ene stille og (meta)kognitiv og den anden aktiv og kropslig. Men trods den umiddelbare ydre forskel udgør de hver især hinandens indre ansigt. På denne workshop undersøger vi det meditative aspekt ved fysiske stillinger i yoga. Du bliver guidet igennem et sensitivt flow af enkle yogastillinger som tager dig dybt ind i oplevelsen af den fysiske krop som sansefornemmelse. Klassen handler mere om den indre tilstand end om det ydre udtryk, derfor behøver du på ingen måde være i god fysisk form for at deltage.

Workshoppen afholdes som en del af mindfulnessforeningens årsmøde. Læs mere om foreningen her

De omvendte stilinger på skuldrene begrænses ofte til de to eller tre mest kendte variationer. Men denne gruppe af stillinger har langt flere muligheder og en hel række forberedende trin som ofte overses når vi blot bruger skulderstand til hurtigt at afslutte en yogapraksis. Denne workshop guider dig sikkert og nænsomt op på skuldrene og nærer kroppen ved at dedikere en hel praksis til denne gruppe af stillinger.

Den første halvdel af klassen forbereder dig til de omvendte stillinger på skuldrene gennem chandra namaskar (månehilsen) samt blide bagoverbøjninger. Her lærer du nogle enkle principper for at aktivere hænder, arme og rygsøjle sådan at du kan integrere skuldrene og finde dig til rette i de omvendte stillinger. Derefter bevæger vi os gradvist op på skuldrene hvor vi udforsker forskellige variationer.

Efterhånden som vi går frem vil de elever der har nået deres grænse blive tilbudt restorative hvilestillinger hvor kroppen er understøttet af tæpper og puder. Klassen slutter med en lang afspænding og en siddende meditation.

Workshoppen er for alle og undervises på dansk eller engelsk alt efter behov. Nye elever vil få en solid introduktion til de omvendte stillinger på skuldrene. Elever der allerede er godt bekendt med Dynamic Yoga vil få mulighed for at udforske drop-over backbends på skuldrene.

Dynamic Yoga – Sensitivitet i din yoga praksis
Underviser: Birgitte Gorm Hansen
Pris: 450 kr. pr. workshop – booking

Workshop I – Onsdag d.26.2.2014 kl.17.15-20.15:

Sensitivitet (åben for alle) 

Sanserne er dit indre kompas. Alt hvad du ved, alt hvad du har lært, alt hvad du kan hviler på din krops evne,
til at opfatte sansefornemmelser.

På denne klasse får du en introduktion til hvordan Dynamic Yoga arbejder med sensitivitet,
som grundlaget for de fysiske stillinger i yoga.
Du bliver guidet igennem et meditativt flow af månehilsner samt liggende stillinger som øger din kropsbevidsthed,
og din evne til at mærke din krop og lade den guide dig på yogamåtten.

Workshop II – Torsdag d. 27.2.2014:
At undervise fra kroppen (kun for yogalærere)

En mini-workshop om at undervise sansebaseret snarere end alingmentbaseret yoga.
Vi bruger dine kropslige erfaringer fra onsdagens klasse og koger den til små eksperimenter på yogamåtten.
Du får inspiration til at instruere ”hands off”, det vil sige uden fysisk justering eller visuel demonstration samt en demonstration af,
hvordan du kan guide eleven ind i hendes/hans egen sanseoplevelse.
Workshoppen er åben for yogalærere, (også hvis du stadig er i gang med en uddannelse).

OBS: Du kan booke workshop II individuelt, men vil få langt mere ud af den, hvis du har deltaget i klassen onsdag aften.

The advantages of doing backbends in yoga are many, especially for us bent-over westerners who tend to get stuck at the desk in a forward bend for many hours a day. This workshop allows you to enjoy a sensitive step-by-step journey into back bending where the opening up in the front of the body goes hand in hand with a loving care for your lower back and other soft spots. “Opening your heart” as it is often said in yoga is not just a matter of pushing into more and more crazy postures. It’s rather about embracing what is actually happening within you right here and now. Birgitte will guide two classes that take different approaches to backbends as a way of feeling and responding lovingly to the whole of your being.

The classes are open to all from beginners to the most advanced and can be booked individually or together as you see fit.

Program

10.00 – 13.00 Loving the lower back.
A long and energizing flow of postures teaching you how to support the lower back as you begin to open the front of your body. This class prepares you for backbends by teaching you how to activate the whole of your body to protect the vulnerability of your joints.

14.00 – 17.00 Opening the heart.
A meditative three-hour flow will take you through a progressive series of backbends, closing with a deep release of the spine. As the class progress, supported alternatives will be given to those who have reached the limit of their capacity.

Price: 450 swedish kroner for one class. 800 for both classes

Booking: yogarummet@gmail.se

Yoga and meditation are often seen as two distinct and separate practices. One dynamic and physical and the other still and mental. However, both practices are an invitation to experience the unity within body and awareness. This three-hour workshop will explore meditaton and yoga posture practice as an undivided whole through movement, breath and stilness.

Both yoga postures and meditation will be guided as invitations to become deeply present to what is actually happening here and now. We begin and end the class in seated meditation. The two rounds of sitting will be connected by a simple and nourishing flow of yoga postures taking you deeper in your experience of body and awareness.

The workshop is open to everyone, from beginners to the most advanced

Vi ser ofte på yogaens fysiske praksis og meditation som to forskellige teknikker. Den ene virker umiddelbart kraftfuld og kropslig mens den anden synes stille og mental. Men begge praksisser kommer fra samme sted og rummer samme invitation: At blive et med det der sker i dit liv her og nu.

På dette sæsonkursus dykker vi dybere ned i dynamisk yoga og meditation for at opdage enheden bag vores dagligdags oplevelse af krop og bevidsthed som to adskilte størrelser. Vi går til meditation som en konkret og fysisk praksis (somatic meditation) og vi bruger et dynamisk flow af yogastillinger som en invitation til at genfinde den meditative tilstand du blev født med.

Alle der er interesseret i yoga og meditation er velkomne på dette kursus. Du vil uge for uge blive guidet dybere i din praksis uden kamp, pres eller smerte. Vi starter i slutningen af januar med en blid praksis som bliver mere kraftfuld som lyset vender tilbage og foråret bliver til sommer.Der er åbent for tilgang af nye elever indtil den 1/3, derefter lukkes gruppen sådan at vi komme mere i dybden med teknikker som ikke undervises på åbne klasser i Dynamic Yoga. Hvis du vil hoppe med på kurset efter 1/3 skal du have været på minimum 6 åbne klasser i dynamic yoga med Birgitte før du kan deltage.

Klasen starter kl 8.00 med siddende meditation. Birgitte vil være til stede i starten til at hjælpe dig i gang med at meditere og introducerer i løbet af kurset nye elementer du kan inkludere i din morgenpraksis. Fra kl 8.30 glider vi fra siddende meditation til bevægelsesmeditation gennem et blidt flow af enkle yogastillinger som giver dig mere kropsbevidsthed, styrker og mobiliserer muskler og led og inviterer  dig til ro og nærvær . Hver klasse slutter med en guidet afspænding.

Datoer for undervisning: 31/1, 7/2, 14/2, 21/2, 7/3, 4/4, 11/4, 25/4, 2/5, 5/5, 9/5, 12/6, 13/6, 20/6, 27/6

(NB: ingen undervisning den 28/2, 14/3, 21/3, 28/3, 18/4, 16/5, 23/5, 30/5, 6/6)

10.00-13.00: Flow-meditation

En serie af meget enkle yogastillinger inviterer dig til at finde meditationen i bevægelsen og lade åndedræt og bevidsthed smelte sammen til en blid indre rytme. Små bølgebevægelser (ullola) bringer dig helt ind til hjertet af din oplevelse af kroppen og forbereder dig til siddende meditation. Klassen er blid og langsom og handler mere om den indre tilstand end om det ydre udtryk.

Workshoppen er åben for alle, også dig der aldrig har prøvet yoga før.

14.00-17.00: Siddende meditation

Meditation undervises ofte som ”træning af sindet” eller ”kontrol af sindet”. I Dynamic Yoga går vi til meditation som en kropslig praksis (somatisk meditation). Snarere end at disciplinere dig selv handler denne workshop om at møde det, du allerede er. En serie af siddende meditationer afbrudt af små bløde yoga flows tager dig gradvist dybere ind i din oplevelse af kroppen. Vi går til meditation som en fysisk og sansebaseret praksis snarere end en mental observation.

Workshoppen er åben for alle der har lyst til at lære at meditere, også selv om du ikke har nogen tidligere erfaring. For dig der har stiftet bekendtskab med mindfulness, vipasana eller zen vil workshoppen kunne tage dig dybere i din praksis og give dig nogle nye teknikker at lege med.

Saturday 9.30 a.m – 1.30 p.m: The Spine

The spine is central to our movement and experience. When the spine is carrying unhelpful and habitual postural and movement patterns the experience of our body can be less than pleasurable and we can often find ourselves in pain and discomfort or lacking in mobility.

If yoga posture practice is to release us from the imprints of life held within our structure and musculature, e.g.  high shoes, bags on one shoulder, accumulation of hours on the computer, it needs to be undertaken with a keen sense of listening to the whispers of sensation within the spine. In this workshop we initiate a vital sensitization of the mind to the spine, exploring specific sequencing to bring release to muscles that may overwork, and awaken muscles that may be inactive. Within the arena of yoga posture practice and pranayama we are guided to a deepened level of intimacy  to what’s actually happening in our unique body mind, moving towards balancing, mobilizing and finally strengthening the spine.

The workshop will include, posture practice, pranayama, relaxation and clarifying discussion, exploration and demonstration.

Suitable for all levels of practitioner from those newly exploring yoga to advanced practitioners and teachers.

Sunday 9.30 a.m- 1.30 p.m:   Sadhana – Deepening practice

Subtle yet powerful, with inquiry at the very heart of the practice, this workshop proves valuable and insightful for students, practioners and teachers from all styles and levels of practice.

Using skillful Vinyasa Krama (progressive instruction), intelligent and effective sequencing of Asana, movement and Pranayama, this workshop invites you into feeling and experiencing the deeper, less explored areas of posture practice, taking us via body and breath beyond belief and acquired knowledge  into a steady and continuous flow of simply experiencing the wisdom of the body expressing itself in any given moment. When the intelligence of the mind free from agenda and imposition  meets the body deeply, the apparent split between the two dissolves and Yoga is !!

The workshop will include, posture practice, pranayama, relaxation , sitting and  shared group inquiry…

Price: one workshop day: 500 DKR.  Both days booked together: 800 DKR

OPENING IMMERSION FOUR: focusses on using the Seven Universal Actions of Yoga Posture Praxis to develope the power, flexibility and resilience of the spine and its supporting musculature.

This immersion has a strong emphasis on backbends, and is open to anyone, teachers as well as pratititioners, interested in the bionechanical and energetic integrity of the bodimind. It is especially fruitful for newcomers to yoga posture praxis, and anyone who considers themselves to be an advanced practitioner.

The bandhas are often taught as techniques to “lock” or harness the energy of the body. But when practiced sensitively they have a much deeper power to integrate and “unlock” your being in the body and invite you to experience the inherent unity of yoga. This is by no means mystical, esoteric or difficult. Activating the bandhas is a natural response of the body when doing yoga postures (asana) with integrity. Practicing asana as bandha is an invitation cross the threshold from experiencing yoga postures as just being physical “shapes” to accessing the subtle energetic resonance within them all. This workshop will explore the bandhas as an organic and natural event in your body rather than a separate “technique”. You will be guided towards physical and energetic integration in four sessions. We will mainly be engaged in flowing yoga posture practice but the workshop also offers a bit of group work and pranayama practice.

Friday 19.00-21.30: Softening

Soak into softness with a gentle floor practice of spinal extensions, gentle backbends and twists. The class teaches you to access the deep spinal muscles and invite release into the core of your body. This yummy evening practice is highly recommended as a preparation for the weekend workshop “asana as bandha” and suitable for everyone.

Godfri Devereux

Godfrey Devereux has been teaching and practicing yoga for over 40 years and his contribution to the art and science of yoga is unique and remarkable. His discoveries and developments are numerous, ongoing and allow yoga to be experienced without reference to esotericism or unverifiable concepts. Unintimidated by the ideologies and hierarchies of tradition he has been able to cast clear light not only on the subtleties of yoga practice, but also on the nature of the body-mind relationship and the significance of human consciousness.

Godfrey’s pioneering journey into the roots of human experience is grounded in a lifetime of yoga practice on mat and cushion that began when he was 16 years old. Fertilised by professional training in Child Development and Education, Oriental Medicine, and dedicated study with masters of Zen, Advaita and Tantra as well as Indian Yoga Gurus, Godfrey’s practice has brought him to a deep, lucid intimacy with the subtleties of being human within which its apparent paradoxes are all heart-warmingly resolved.

At the heart of his teaching is a presentation of yoga as unity, rather than union, intelligence not knowledge.

Pranayama and yoga posture practice

There is many a myth out there on what the breath should be doing in yoga posture practice, and much confusion on how to apply the breath when moving.  This workshop will take you on a journey into a deep experience of your own breath. Without distracting you with borrowed dogma you will be invited to experience for your self how to release the breath in action and enjoy the benefits of free, conscious breathing in yoga posture practice.

Suitable for all posture practitioners, from those who have much experience to those to have very little.

Kernen af kroppen er det sted hvor vi ofte holder dybe spændinger der påvirker vores fordøjelse, åndedræt, stofskifte og sindsstemning. At give slip på spændinger i kroppens dybe kerne er derfor både nærende, livgivende og udrensende. Tre timers blidt flydende yoga inviterer dig til at  aktivere og forløse den dybe kernemuskulatur gennem rygsøjlerotationer og twists. Birgitte guider et blidt dynamisk flow som vækker den dybe styrke og bevægeligheden i rygsøjlen og giver næring til de indre organer. Vi lægger ud med et mere aktivt flow der arbejder hele kroppen igennem. Halvvejs gennem klassen skruer vi helt ned for tempoet og holder siddende rotationer og twists i længere tid. Vi lander blødt i en dyb afspænding og en kort siddende meditation.

To mini-workshops som du kan boke individuelt eller som et heldagskursus. De to workshops fokuserer henholdvis på styrke og forløsning i kernen af kroppen.

10.00-13.00: “Dyb styrke: Giv din praksis rygrad”

En lang yogaklasse med masser af flow og fokus på kernen af kroppen. Vi arbejde med at vække muskulaturen omkring rygsøjlen og finde den dybe styrke som holder dig rank og stærk livet igennem og sikrer et sundt flow op igennem ryggen. En flydende serie af stående, liggende og siddende stillinger inviterer dig til at finde rygraden i din praksis uden anstrengelse og kamp. Klassen slutter med en lang afspænding.

14.00-17.00: ”Dyb forløsning –Den bløde kerne”

Kernen af kroppen er det sted hvor vi ofte holder dybe spændinger der påvirker vores fordøjelse, åndedræt, stofskifte og sindsstemning. At give slip på spændinger i kroppens dybe kerne er derfor både nærende, udrensende og forløsende. Vi skruer helt ned for tempoet og holder hver yogastilling i længere tid så du får tid til at give slip på unødvendige spændinger. Klassen lander blødt i en lang afspænding og en siddende meditation.

Bandha oversættes ofte med “kropslås” og beskrives som en teknik der oplader kroppens energi ved at lukke kredsløbet og cirkulere energien i stedet for at lade den strømme ud. Bandhaerne beskytter de sårbare steder i kroppen ved at give stabilitet, men de er også en nøgle for dig der gerne vil udforske de energetiske, og spirituelle aspekter af yogaens fysiske praksis. De fysiske stillinger i yoga (Asana) går meget dybere når de praktiseres som en invitation til Bandha. Kurset giver dig mulighed for at opleve bandha som en integreret del af din fysiske praksis snarere end som teoretisk viden eller selvstændig teknik. Kurset forløber over fem klasser der alle er baseret på en fysisk yogapraksis med masser af bevægelse.

På kurset bliver du undervist i at aktivere følgende bandhaer: Håndens bandha (hastabandha), fodens bandha (padabandha), rodlåsen (mulabandha), brystkasselåsen (uddiyanabandha), halslåsen (jaladarabandha), rygsøjlens bandha (merubandha).

Bliss (“Ānanda”) is a word often used in relation to yoga. But the bliss that yoga has to offer is much more than a brief peak of ecstasy or a temporary pit stop in relaxation. Ānanda, by contrast, is a baseline for being conscious and alive. You don’t need flexibility, strength or yogic superpowers to access the subtle experience of being bliss. All you need is to deeply feel your body – just as it is. These four classes invite you to take the plunge into the quiet world of sensation to uncover the subtle heart of yoga within the body you have today. Especially suited for beginners AND extremely advanced yogis/meditators.

The four classes can be booked individually or as a progressive series going from the obvious to the subtle aspects of yoga posture practice.

Friday 7.00-9.30 pm: Softening
Soak into softness with a gentle floor practice of spinal extensions, rotations and twists. The class teaches you to access the deep spinal muscles and invite release into the core of your body.

Saturday 2-5 pm: Feeling
Sensitivity is the ultimate compass of a nourishing yoga posture practice. Feeling your way through moon salutations, standing postures and seated backbends takes you step by step into the delight of being deeply present in the body. The focus of the class is to sensitize all of your joints so your body can teach you how to balance activity and release.

Sunday 1.00 – 3.00. Opening
Sun salutations like you´ve never done them before! Often squeezed in as a warm-up or transition between postures the true potential of this classical practice easily gets overlooked. A deep and continuous flow takes you from basic to advanced variations without pain or struggle. The activation of the whole of your body supports the opening quality of backbends and forward bends and invites you to feel the vibrant aliveness of the spine.

Sunday 4.00-6.30: Being
A series of inverted, supine and seated postures allows you to settle into quiet stillness as we hold gentle postures for longer periods of time. The class may include restorative variations using blankets, blocks and bolsters to support you in exploring the subtle heart of sensation. We close the practice with a guided meditation.

The Workshop takes place in Synergy Yoga, Miami’s first and oldest yoga studio.  Booing and prices coming up at the Synergy website

Bliss “Ānanda” is a word we often hear in relation to yoga. This does not mean that yoga will draw you into a “blissed out” hypnotic trance state. Ānanda is much more than a brief peak of wild ecstasy or a quick pit stop in final relaxation. Ānanda is a ground state, a baseline for being conscious and alive. Its subtle universal quality is always available whether you are sad or happy, in pain or in love, grieving or celebrating. Its not the light at the end of the yoga-tunnel. Bliss is your birth name.

09.30-13.00 Tuning in A long slow-flowing class focused on becoming sensitive to physical sensation. By effortless action and soft movements we flow through standing, inverted and supine postures to deepen your ability to feel more subtle sensations, thereby inviting a quiet, soft feeling of being deeply present in the body.

 14.00-15.00 Exploring After lunch we will have a brief exploration of the techniques used in the morning practice. Little experiments on the mat help you clarify how yoga posture practice can be an  invitation to go deeper without pain or struggle

15.00-16.30 Leting Go  The afternoon class will be taught as a soft floor-flow. You will be guided slowly through a series supine, prone and sitting postures ending in two rounds of seated meditation. This very meditative and soft flow invites you to explore the blissful being state of human embodiment.

Surya Namaskar
Undervist af Birgitte Gorm Hansen

Suryanamaskar – solhilsen – bliver ofte brugt til at åbne og styrke hele kroppen og sætte blus på energien. På yogaklasser verden over bruges elementer af serien, men oftest kun som opvarmning eller overgang mellem to stillinger. Solhilsen kan dog være en smuk meditativ praksis i sig selv hvis man giver sig tid til at nyde flowet og arbejde i kroppens eget tempo.

Flow – Lørdag 9.00-12.00 & 13.00-16.00
Vi starter med en lang, blid yogaklasse der giver dig de basale teknikker for at finde meditationen i en flow-baseret yogapraksis. Du lærer grundteknikker til at aflaste de sårbare led i kroppen og forløse åndedrættets naturlige rytme.
Om eftermiddagen udforsker vi principperne bag, som hjælper dig til at arbejde sikkert i flow så du kan tilpasse teknikkerne til din egen krops behov. Du får også en kort præsentation af alle grundstillinger i suryanamaskar-serien.
Lørdag lander blødt med en kort yogaklasse på gulvet der forløser unødvendige spændinger i kernen af kroppen og forbereder dig til næste dag.

Suryanamaskar – søndag 8.30-12.00
Søndag byder på et langt flow baseret på solhilsenen. Klassen starter med let tilgængelige variationer og bevæger sig gradvist over i mere udfordrende flows hvor bagoverbøjninger og ekstensioner kommer i fokus. Klassen ender i en lang afspænding og siddende meditation.

Alle kan være med uanset yoga-erfaring. Deltagelse søndag morgen kræver dog, at du har været med hele lørdagen. Workshoppen undervises på engelsk hvis nødvendigt.

Et langsomt og nærende flow der trin for trin guider dig op på skuldrene og udforsker nye variationer. Den første halvdel af klassen forbereder dig til skulderstand gennem chandra namaskar (månehilsen) samt blide bagoverbøjninger. Her lærer du nogle enkle principper for at aktivere hænder, arme og rygsøjle sådan at du kan integrere skuldrene og finde dig til rette i de omvendte stillinger. Derefter bevæger vi os gradvist op på skuldrene hvor vi udforsker forskellige variationer. (foroverbøjninger, bagoverbøjninger og muligvis rotationer). Efterhånden som vi går frem vil de elever der har nået deres grænse blive tilbudt restorative hvilestillinger hvor kroppen er understøttet af tæpper og puder. Klassen slutter med en lang afspænding og en siddende meditation.

Workshoppen er for alle men undervises på dansk. Nye elever vil få en solid introduktion til de omvendte stillinger på skuldrene. Elever der er godt bekendt med Dynamic Yoga vil få mulighed for at udforske drop-over backbends og rotationer på skuldrene.

Kernen af kroppen er det sted hvor vi ofte holder dybe spændinger der påvirker vores fordøjelse, åndedræt, stofskifte og sindsstemning. At give slip på spændinger i kroppens dybe kerne er derfor både nærende, livgivende og udrensende. En perfekt forårespraksis! Tre timers blidt flydende yoga inviterer dig til at  aktivere og forløse den dybe kernemuskulatur gennem rygsøjlerotationer og twists. Birgitte guider et aktivt, dynamisk flow af stående, siddende og liggende rotationer som arbjeder hele kroppen igennem, vækker den dybe styrke i rygsøjlen og giver næring til de indre organer. Vi lander blødt i en dyb afspænding og en kort siddende meditation.

APRIL 12:  Human intelligence as the key to life and yoga (evening talk 17.00-19.30).

This talk will explore the depths and subtleties of human intelligence to contextualise and fertilise yoga and meditation practice and their relevance to daily life. It will explore the three aspects of human intelligence and their interrelationships: somatic, cerebral and spiritual.

APRIL 13: SOMATIC MEDITATION WORKSHOP   (10.00-18.00)

To become intimate with the subtle presence and nature of the body is to become able to be intimate with mind and consciousness. Only then is it possible to fully integrate the intelligence and power of consciousness with that of mind, so that mental activity can be grounded in the nondual intelligence of consciousness. This workshop will present a progressive methodology for accessing the nondual, impersonal intelligence of consciousness from the body. No prior meditative experience required.

APRIL 14:  TANTRA YOGA WORKSHOP   (10.00-18.00)

The postural practices of Hatha Yoga have their origins in Tantra. The Tantric approach to life regards the body as a temple,  and its sexuality as an expression of spiritual energy. The systematic sensitisation of the bodimind through subtle, sensitive action can be used to access, awaken and integrate the subtle energy body. In doing so core sexual energy  is released as a healing, nourishing circulation throughout the whole body that enlivens and harmonises both body and mind. This workshop will explore the somatic practices (asana, bandha, mudra and pranayama) that unlock the healing power of sexual energy as a process of deep psychosomatic and spiritual release.

Yoga er for alle. Du behøver ikke stille dig på skuldrene af dem som er klogere, stærkere eller mere erfarne end dig for at gå dybt i din praksis. Denne workshop er en chance for at finde dine indre kilde til næring og ro så du ikke behøver søge den udenfor dig selv. Et godt sted at starte er at på dine egne skuldre.

Formiddagen består af et blidt flow af yogastillinger der styrker din evne til at mærke kroppen og forbereder dig  til omvendte stillinger på skuldrene. Serien inviterer dig til at forløse unødvendige spændinger i ansigt, kæbe, hals, skuldre, nakke og torso.

Klassen lægger fundamentet for de omvendte stillinger på skuldrene og slutter med afspænding.

13.00-16.30: Stå på egne skuldre…

Eftermiddagen starter med en afklarende dialog om morgenens teknikker og en kort præsentation af skulderstand og et par af dens mange variationer.

Feel-good-yoga

I yoga tales der meget om ”bliss” eller ”fryd” (Ānanda). Men mange af os kommer til yoga og oplever at vi skal bide tænderne hårdt sammen for at komme igennem en moderne flow-baseret yogaklasse. Er man et helt almindeligt moderne menneske kan mange yogastillinger føles som fysiske umuligheder og Ānanda lyder lidt som en by i Rusland.

”Bliss” er imidlertid ikke en præmie du får hvis du gennemfører en yoga-boot-camp. Ānanda er en grundtilstand  i mennesket, en tilstand du er født med og som yoga tilbyder dig at genopdage.

På denne klasse får du en introduktion til hvordan Dynamic Yoga arbejder med kroppens naturlige intelligens, sådan at du kan få en aktiv fysisk yogapraksis der føles godt. En praksis hvor du undersøger muligheden for at finde fryden ved, simpelthen at være i live.

Den første halvdel af klassen er baseret på serien månehilsen (chandra namaskar), et aktivt og meditativt flow af yogastillinger der vækker sensitiviteten og kommer hele kroppen igennem. Den sidste del af klassen er et mere blidt flow af liggende og omvendte stillinger. Vi slutter med afspænding og en kort, siddende meditation.

Workshoppen er for alle. Fra nybegyndere til de mest avancerede. Tag en varm trøje og et tæppe med til den sidste del af klassen så du ikke bliver kold.

Strengthening the deep spinal muscles is a key to going deeper in yoga posture practice for beginners and advanced students alike. A strong spine allows you to practice safely and efficiently and protects the vulnerability of the lower back. Also, when the spine is activated you can let go of unnecessary “holding on” or tension in the core of the body and soften into even more challenging postures. Releasing tension in the core of the body is also one of the ways in which yoga posture practice can bring about a deep nourishment. This class will explore the possibilities of activating the spine in a slow, deep flow of spinal extensions and rotations. The practice invites the body to breathe freely, the internal organs to be nourished and the mind to take a well deserved rest. The beginning of the class will explore  the possibility of release through action in a dynamic flow of  chandra namaskar (moon salutation) and a couple of standing rotations. The class ends by letting go into soft, nourishing flow of seated and supine rotations.  After a long guided relaxation we land in seated meditation and a little dialogue, clarifying the impacts and effects of softening the core.

Senior Dynamic Teacher Jo Kemp is back in Copenhagen with three sweet sessions on shoulder inversions. For the exact timetable, prices and more info, Contact info@kbhyogaa.dk

This workshop will take us on a vinyasa krama (step by step progression) of shoulder inversions. Often just squeezed in at the end of a practise, the benefits of inversions can be overlooked. They are a potent means to pacifying and providing complete rest to the cellular structure of the whole body, while simultaneously lending to an experience of internalisation and release.

Friday February 15th. 5 – 8pm.
The first session begins with a specific sequence to sensitize, awaken and prepare the body for going up on the shoulders. Guided using layers of instruction so that the body can develop pathways, assimilate and deepen ones capacity for coming and being on the shoulders with integrity. Whether you are very comfortable on your shoulders or have never been up on them you will benefit from understanding how to sequentially prepare the body, so that when you do come up your experience is a nourishing and pleasurable one.

Saturday February 16th. 9 – 12am
In the second session we gather a little more momentum and move through a complete practise sequence that takes us from preparation and into actually being on the shoulders, journeying into the different shoulder stand variations as they are interweaved into the practice. The shoulder inversions take us deeper into understanding how to use the arms in relation to the shoulders and spine. They develop the wrists and arms and they soften and awaken the spine in easy gentle forward and back bending shapes. The nourishing supportive arena of being upside down leads us towards an experience of effortless integration and we can benefit greatly from the heart been rested over the head.

Saturday February 16th. 1 – 5pm.
The third session begins with a short presentation (where you will be able to see many of the inversions you have been taken through in the morning). Followed by a question and answer time, with plenty of opportunity to gain individual feedback and clarification.
Each session includes posture practice, relaxation, some sitting and a little dialogue.
The first session is beneficial as a stand-alone experience, yet to attend the third session students need to have attended session 1 and 2

Bandha oversættes ofte med “kropslås” og beskrives som en teknik der oplader kroppens energi ved at lukke kredsløbet og cirkulere energien i stedet for at lade den strømme ud. Bandhaerne beskytter ikke bare de sårbare steder i kroppen ved at give stabilitet. De er også en nøgle for dig der gerne vil udforske de energetiske, og spirituelle aspekter af yogaens fysiske praksis. Asana går meget dybere når de praktiseres som en invitation til Bandha.

Workshoppen giver dig mulighed for at opleve bandha som en integreret del af din fysiske praksis snarere end som teoretisk viden eller teknik. Kurset forløber over tre dynamisk flydende klasser der alle er baseret på en fysisk yogapraksis med masser af bevægelse. Undervinsingen krydres med små ”eksperimenter” og praktiske undersøgelser der afklarer principperne og giver mulighed for spørgsmål.

På workshoppen vil du lære at aktivere følgende bandhaer: Håndens bandha (hastabandha), fodens bandha (padabandha), (rodlåsen) mulabandha, brystkasselåsen (uddiyanabandha), halslåsen (jaladarabandha), rygsøjlens bandha (merubandha) og måske også helkrops-bandhaen (sarvangabandha).

Lørdag 11.30-14. 30: Morgenklassen begynder med en pranayama-sesion (åndedrætsøvelser) hvor bandhaerne aktiveres fra åndedrættet. Derefter følger en serie af yogastillinger og flows der viser hvordan aktiveringen hænder og arme kan fungere som en strukturel invitation til bandha. Klassen slutter med siddende meditation og dialog. (obs! Det er bedst ikke at have mad i maven inden denne klasse. Slut gerne morgenmaden mindst 2 timer før klassen starter. Medbring evt. en snack du kan spise sidst i timen hvis du har tendens til lavt blodsukker).

Lørdag 15.30-17.30 : Eftermiddagsklassen indeholder et langsomt flow samt lange ophold i  siddende stillinger. Klassen fokuserer på hvordan aktiveringen af rygsøjlen samt fødder og ben kan fungere som en strukturel invitation til de tre bandhaer i torsoen. Klassen slutter med siddende meditation og dialog.

Søndag 8.30-11.30: Her breder vi det vi har lært ud til at omfatte kroppen som et hele. Ved at arbejde simultant med at aktivere hænder, fødder, arme, ben og rygsøjle kan bandhaerne opstå spontant som en integreret del af enhver yogastilling. Vi undersøger muligheden for at lade bandhaerne i hænder, fødder, bækken og torso flyde sammen til en oplevelse af bandhaerne i hele kroppen (sarvangabandha). Klassen slutter med siddende meditation samt dialog.

Lørdag og søndag formiddag er åben for alle der har en yogapraksis, men du skal være indstillet på at gå ned i detaljerne bevæge dig og være fysisk aktiv igennem hele workshoppen.

Søndag 12.00-14.45 (for yogalærere): Søndagen slutter med en session for yogalærer der går bag om undervisningen og bryder klaserne ned til nogle principper du kan bruge i din egen undervisning.  Vi snakker om metoden bag at undervise asana som bandha. Hvilke instruktioner inviterer bandha i de fysiske stillinger? Hvordan sekvenserer man en klasse med fokus på bandhas? Hvilke energetiske effekter har bandhas? Hvad er filosofien bag asana som bandha? Hvorfor er de vigtige og hvad er deres gavnlige effekter? Eftermiddagsklassen foregår som dialog men afbrudt af små eksperimenter på yogamåtten. Vi slutter med en siddende meditation.

Da hver klasse er en forberedelse til den næste vil det ikke være muligt at booke enkelte dage. Søndagsklasserne giver kun mening hvis man har deltaget om lørdagen.

December darkness softly wraps around us, seeds are waiting under ground and in the forest far away the animals are in curled up in winter sleep.

Friday night 17.00-20.00:

Trust life – get grounded

This mini-workshop allows you to explore grounding as the basis for yoga posture practice. A series of standing postures focusing on the activation of the feet invites you to explore gravity as a foundation for all of life’s impulse to grow, reach and expand. Finding your feet is a powerful and deeply healing practice for advanced student and beginners alike. The class lands in deep relaxation and sitting meditation -inviting you to trust and let go into that, which has been carrying you all along.

Weekend workshop: The spiral dynamic

Yoga posture practice is more than stretching, aligning and creating geometrical shapes with the body. Every yoga posture has a spiral dynamic which breathes life and ease into your practice and protects vulnerable joints like those of the knees, elbows and lower back. By activating the spirals in the hands, arms, feet and legs a deep and nourishing integration of the whole body is invited.

The workshop is open to all practitioners of yoga.

Saturday
10.00-13.00: Introducing the spirals
The morning session introduce you to the basic actions of spiraling. Birgitte will teach an accessible flow of simple, symmetrical yoga postures that activate the hands and arms, feet and legs into the spiral dynamic. The class ends with a long, deep relaxation and a short seated meditation.

14.00-16.00: Clarifying the spirals
The afternoon session consists of a guided exploration of how the spiral dynamic works in your body. Birgitte will guide you through some simple experiments on your mat exploring the spirals in the hands, arms, feet and legs. The experiments and the dialogue around them will clarify the techniques presented in the morning class so that you can adapt them to your own body and style of practice. The afternoon closes with a 30 minute gentle flow of supine and inverted postures to land you softly and prepare for the next day.

Sunday
10.00-13.00: Activating the spirals
This vinyasa practice will apply the actions learned on the Saturday to a series of yoga postures allowing you to benefit from the spiral dynamic and the support it gives to the whole of your body. A dynamic flow of postures will help you access the power of the spirals to clarify how the different body parts work as a whole.

December is the time of sharing and giving, but for many of us it is also the busiest month of the year. To be fully open and present to those we love requires that we remember to nourish ourselves and care for the body. This slow-flowing backbend-class is dedicated to open your heart and replenish your resources. A meditative three-hour flow will take you through a progressive series of backbends, closing with a deep release of the spine. Birgitte will teach you how to support the vulnerable joints in the lower back and neck in active backbends, so you can safely take yourself deeper. As the class progress, supported alternatives will be given to those who have reached the limit of their capacity. The flow lands softly in a guided relaxation and awakens you to seated meditation.

Yoga posture practice is more than stretching, aligning and creating straight lines through the body. Every yoga posture has a spiral dynamic which breathes life into your practice and protects vulnerable joints like knees, elbows and the lower back. By activating the spirals in the hands, arms, feet and legs a deep integration of the whole body is invited.  The workshop is taught in two parts. The morning session will teach you how to activate the spiral dynamic in  a flow of simple, symmetrical postures.  The afternoon session consists of a guided exploration of how the spiral dynamic works in your body. The afternoon closes with a short flow of seated, supine and inverted postures landing you softly in savasana.

Sunday the 25th of November, all day event.

Releasing tension in the core of the body is one of the ways in which yoga posture practice can bring about a deep nourishment. These two evening classes will explore the possibilities of releasing the core of your body through spinal rotations and twists: The practice invites the body to breathe freely, the internal organs to be nourished and the mind to take a well deserved rest.  The Monday class will explore the possibility of release through action in a dynamic flow of standing and seated rotations and twists. The second class explores release through letting go into soft, nourishing flow of supine, seated and inverted postures where each pose is held for a longer period of time.  Together the two classes help you to access the deep spinal muscles and help your body to let go of whatever unneccsary tension it may be carrying.

book with Jo kemp : nowbelove@yahoo.com

Yoga invites us to enquire into our deepest nature (svadhyaya). Driven by a need for security we sometimes allow this enquiry to depend on external authorities, principles or schools.  But underneath the noisy surface of opinions, pre-packaged thinking, and expert-authority lays an inner compass that never fails:  Your body and the ability to feel it.
This weekend workshop invites you leave knowledge behind and take the plunge into a quiet world of sensation. Feeling your way into movements and postures allows you to safely dive deeper into the subtle heart of yoga and enjoy the freedom that it offers. Going deep inside teaches you to act on what you can feel and builds a deep trust in your body’s ability to guide your practice. Awakening sensitivity takes yoga beyond discipline, rule or dogma and brings you face to face with the teacher within you.
Each workshop day is taught in three parts. The morning class consists of a dynamic flow of yoga postures which awakens the whole of your body, takes you down in deep relaxation and lands you in seated meditation. After the lunch break, Birgitte will lead a guided exploration where you get to experiment with different actions in order to make them work for you. The afternoon ends with a soft, internalized posture practice including pranayama and meditation.
Program:
9.00-12.00: Dynamic posture practice, meditation
12.00-13.30: Lunch break
13.30-15.00: Guided exploration

I yoga undervises fysiske stillinger, åndedrætsøvelser og meditation oftest som selvstændige teknikker. Men deres potentiale udfolder sig først rigtigt når de opleves simultant som et hele. På denne workshop får du mulighed for at undersøge hvordan det at arbejde i et glidende flow kan tage dig længere ind i dig selv og hjælpe dig til at finde roen uanset om du er i kraftfuld bevægelse eller sidder stille. Ved at slippe enhver form for kontrol af åndedrættet og invitere dine bevægelser til at følge vejrtrækningens spontane rytme inviteres sindet til at give slip på vaner, viden og forestillinger og du får lov at gå på opdagelse i den dybe ende af din yogapraksis. Hvis du allerede arbejder dynamisk og er vant til at bevæge dig i takt med åndedrættet (vinyasa) vil denne workshop give dig nogle værktøjer til at arbejde med overgange og til at gå dybere i din praksis og finde meditationen i bevægelsen. Hvis du er ny i dynamisk yoga er dette en god introduktion til at lære at praktisere yoga i flow uden at miste nærværet.

Lørdag 10.00-13.00: Den ydre vinyasa (Dynamisk yogaklasse. Inkluderer pranayama, månehilsen, stående stillinger, enkle armbalancer, omvendte stillinger på skuldrene, afspænding og siddende meditation)

Yoga er meget mere end at strække ud, rette op og skabe strømlinede geometriske figurer med kroppen. Enhver yogastilling rummer dynamiske spiraler der giver den liv og beskytter sårbare steder som f.eks knæ, albuer og lænd. Ved at bruge spiralerne i din praksis bliver især de stående stillinger i yoga lettere at lege med.  Workshoppen give dig en konkret erfaring med hvordan alle kroppens dele er tæt forbundne og støtter hinanden som et hele. Når du praktiserer yoga med hele kroppen følger de mere subtile og dybe effekter med af sig selv.

Workshoppen er åben for alle, uanset tidligere erfaring med yoga. (Dog er klassen søndag eftermiddag forbeholdt yogalærere).

Program:

Lørdag 10-13.00: Lang dynamisk yogaklasse der introducerer spiralerne igennem enkle symmetriske stillinger. Klassen foregår som et langt flow der afsluttes med afspænding og siddende meditation.

Lørdag 14.00-16.30: Hvordan virker det her? Guidet undersøgelse af spiralernes effekter i din egen krop. Afsluttes med 1,5 times blid yoga.

Søndag 10.00-13.00: lang dynamisk yogaklasse der afklarer spiralernes dynamik – der vil især være fokus på de stående stillinger.

Søndag 14.00-16.30 (kun for yogalærere): Hvordan underviser man i det her? Teori og praktiske eksperimenter.

A RADICAL ENQUIRY INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEDOM
awakening to your inner wisdom

Our minds are full of unexamined ideas, unsubstantiated beliefs, unchallenged prejudices, unquestioned assumptions. Their presence in our unconscious drives the shape and content of our conscious experience. Only when they these ideas, beliefs, prejudices and assumptions have been resolved in the light of your own clear seeing can you awaken to genuine freedom, and enjoy the peace of deep, unconditional contentment. This is not a matter of accepting any concept, belief, dogma or doctrine. It is a question of seeing for yourself the way things actually are. This can only be done if you are able to put aside all the veils that obscure the light of your own wisdom.

Taking place as a dialogue between your unconscious and your conscious mind the Radical Enquiry will painstakingly and systematically expose, discredit and dismantle the false ideas, beliefs, prejudices and assumptions by which your wisdom, happiness and freedom are habitually obscured. As they fall away they take with them the roots and possibility of shame, guilt, resentment, contempt, pride, regret, manipulation, hostility, animosity, exploitation, blame, anxiety and despair. All you need do is hear clearly and acknowledge fully with your own mind the truth that lies in your own heart. Within the clear and simple framework of the Radical Enquiry this is very easy to do.

The Radical Enquiry takes place in gradual, progressive stages each one bringing you closer to the peace of a radical and permanent freedom. It is conducted by Godfridev who has been helping seekers to discover the light of their inner wisdom for over 30 years. From the light of his deep wisdom he will serve as a mirror in which you will be able to find the depth and power of your own wisdom, freedom and happiness.

The day wil be divided into three parts with a break in between each session. Bring your own meditation chair or pillow.

Yoga er en øvelse i at lytte til dig selv og nære hele dit væsen. Men ofte bliver det i stedet til endnu en arena for præstation, endnu en ting vi skal kunne. Denne yogaworkshop spørger din krop hvad den har brug for i stedet for at presse den til at passe ind i geometriske figurer eller kropslige idealer der ikke kommer fra dig selv. Dyk ned under overfladen hvor der bliver stille nok til at du kan reagere på indre sansefornemmelser snarere end ydre autoriteter. På den måde kan din yogapraksis blive en overgivelse til kroppens intelligens og dens utrolige evne til at fortælle dig hvad den har brug for. Når du lytter til din krop udfolder den sit potentiale med en forbløffende kraft.

Workshoppen er åben for alle uanset tidligere erfaring med yoga. Den undervises på dansk

Recently there has been much debate among yoga teachers on whether yoga posture practice causes injury. The short answer is no. Yoga, if approached as a practice of self-enquiry and not self-improvement is a journey into sensitivity and can neither wreck your body, nor that of your students. Teaching based on anatomical knowledge and fixed principles of alignment is a good start, but for your students to practice safely they have to act on their internal sensation rather than your external authority. Leading a sensation-based yoga class is not only a safe approach to teaching, it is also an efficient method by which your students can become fully present in their practice.

Day one : Sensation-based posture practice: Letting your body guide your actions on the mat.

Day two: Teaching sensation-based posture practice: Guiding your students by internal sensations rather than geometry, knowledge or principle.

Each day begins with a long master class taught by Godfrey. The class will then be broken down to show the methodology behind the practice and give you inspiration to use the method in your own teaching.

Time: June 21. and 22. from 8.00-16.30

Jo Kemp is visiting Denmark to teach three workshops that will help you progress in your yoga practice through the art of deep listening. The content of each workshop is valuable to all students, practitioners and teachers from all yoga styles. Each workshops may be attended individually or as an intensive.

Program:

Friday, February 3^{rd 1} 17.00-20.00:
Becoming softer

This evening class extends  a deep invitation to relax, feel and connect while moving through a gentle yet powerful sequence of postures. The workshop provides a deeply nourishing context in which students can explore the natural rhythms of the body and develop a deeper trust in its wisdom. The workshop includes 2hrs of posture practice, a 30min relaxation and seated meditation and may conclude with open dialogue

Saturday, February 4^th 9.00-13.00:
Organic Principles
Progress in yoga is a matter of developing and refining our capacity to listen and respond effectively and consistently. When posture practice becomes challenging it is imperative that we have at our disposal a knowledge of the organic principles that prevent us from falling into an aggressive desire driven yoga practice and instead support a compassionate and intimate connection with the inner intelligence of the body. This morning session includes a 2hr 30min full, balanced and energizing posture practice, a 30-minute relaxation and seated meditation and may conclude with open dialogue.

Saturday, February 4^th 15.00-18.00
Freeing the breath

In this workshop you will be guided in an intricate vinyasa krama (step by step), which invites a deep release into natural organic breathing.

Denne workshop er den anden ud tre som introducerer dynamikken bag de fysiske stillinger i yoga (asana). På denne lørdag vil morgenklassen introducere de basale principper for aktiveringen af fødder og ben. Vi vil arbejde med en særlig sekvens af yogastillinger (vinyasachandrasya) som  styrker hele bevægeapparatet og kalibrerer alle de store led i kroppen med særlig fokus på at få fødder, ben og bækken til at arbejde som en enhed. Dette hjælper dig til at beskytte sårbare steder som f.eks knæ og lænd og giver et godt fundament for de stående stillinger. Klassen slutter med en lang guidet afspænding og siddende meditation.

Morgenklassen introducerer de basale principper for aktiveringen af rygsøjlen. Vi vil arbejde med en særlig sekvens af yogastillinger (vinyasasamerasya) som styrker den dybe rygmuskulatur og integrerer de led der støtter rygsøjlen i over og underkrop. Der arbejdes især med stillinger der styrker kernemuskulaturen tæt ved rygsøjlen, f.eks. maveliggende bagoverbøjninger samt siddende rotationer og ekstensioner. Morgenen afrundes med en lang afspænding og siddende meditation.

Eftermiddagen forklarer principperne bag morgenklassen gennem små praktiske eksperimenter på yogamåtten. Dette vil gøre dig bedre i stand til at integrere og anvende dem på egen hånd. Dagen slutter med en blid flydende yogaklasse der løsner op i hele ryggen og hjælper dig til at give slip helt inde i kernen af kroppen.

Workshoppen undervises i to dele. Formiddagen fokuserer på simple teknikker der gør dine bagoverbøjninger sikre og sensitive så du kan åbne hjertet og øge bevægeligheden i rygsøjlen uden at din lænd skal betale prisen. Eftermiddagen omsætter teknikkerne til praksis gennem et blidt men dybtgående vinyasa flow hvor vi gradvist bevæger os dybere ind i bagoverbøjningerne. Du vil blive guidet til at bevæge dig langsomt og opmærksomt så der er tid til at opleve stillingernes effekt på kroppen og sindet og finde alternativer til dem der har nået deres grænse. Workshoppen slutter med en lang afspænding og en guidet meditation. Workshoppen er åben for alle , fra nybegyndere til de mest avancerede. Der serveres smoothie og mandler i pausen.

SAHAJATANTRA is a complete approach to life based on sensitive, honest, open intimacy with what actually is.Yoga posture practice is the core training that allows life to be met in its full depth and breadth. At the heart of this possibility is integration of the energy upon which life depends: sexual energy. This workshop will focus on accessing and awakening core sexual energy as a source of nourishment and rejuvenation for body and mind, and as an invitation to the subtle experience of sarvasukham (full body orgasm).

PARTICIPANTS will practice fully clothed alone on their own mats – there may be partner exercises involving light touch, i.e. hand on lower belly. Please bring a light blindfold (scarf or similar), this will be used to invite a deepening into what is to be felt. The workshop is open to anyone – single or couple – but basic knowledge of yoga practice is an advantage

At gå dybere i yoga er ikke bare et spørgsmål om smidighed, styrke og udholdenhed. En langt mere central del af det at gå dybere med sin yogapraksis er det at blive bedre til at mærke kroppen. Sensitivitet er en basal betingelse for at yoga kan blive en invitation til ro, nærvær og dyb forløsning. Alle klasserne foregår som et dynamisk flow af yogastillinger der åbner, og styrker kroppen og tillader dig at bevæge dig lidt dybere ned i stilheden hver dag. Hver klasse starter med en dynamisk praksis som lander i afspænding og vækker dig med en afsluttende meditation.

Klasserne er åbne for alle.

Yoga Integration Immersion

Godfrey and Olivia are visiting copenhagen to teach a four-day immersion into the integrating power of the overt bandhas: hastabandha, padabandha and merubandha. These three easily accessible bandhas, in the upper body, lower body and spine respectively, establish deep structural and energetic integration. Each one depends opun the refined activation of two or more of the Seven Universal Actions upon which yoga posture practice depends. Together they integrate action and respiration, structure and function, body and mind. These three bandhas will be explored within the context of the Vinyasaxandrasya series, Vinyasasukasya series, and Vinyasaxikits series (incorporating more advanced standing postures).

The immersion includes a set of written materials, image and sound files that can be used in your own practice at home. It is open to any yoga practitioner.

Provisional day program (8.00-17.00):

Morning session (5 hours) Godfrey teaches a guided practice which will include pranayama, asana and meditation. After the class Godfrey will go through the theory behind the practice and present the techniques and postures one by one.

Afternoon session (3 hours) Olivia will guide an exploration of the postures and techniques that was presented in the morning session. This will allow techniques and principles of alignment to be integrated in organically in your body and your practice (rather than requiring you to learn and remember them as abstract knowledge). After the exploration, Olivia will teach a short guided yoga class which introduces the theme for the following day.

YOGA DYNAMICS IMMERSION

Godfri Devereux and Olivia Crooks are visiting Copenhagen and will be teaching a 4 days immersion on the dynamics of yoga posture practice. The focus of the immersion is the power of the Spiral Dynamic engaged in the arms and legs. The Spiral Dynamic allows the lengthenings, broadenings and groundings of the Seven Universal Actions to be integrated into the relationship between the ribcage and the pelvis, by way of the interconnected nature of the relationships bewteen the body parts. This supports and releases the breath as well as the spine and allows the body to be activated as a single unit.  The Spiral Dynamic will be explored within the context of the Vinyasaxandrasya (based on xandranamaskar), Vinyasasyurasya (based on suryanamaskar) and Vinyasasukasya series (incorporating standing postures).

The immersion includes a set of written materials, image and sound files that can be used in your own practice at home.

It is open to any yoga practitioner.

På denne workshop får du mulighed for at undersøge hvordan det frie og spontane åndedræt kan åbne døren til en mere meditativ yogapraksis. Ved at slippe enhver form for kontrol af åndedrættet og invitere yogastillinger og bevægelser til at følge vejrtrækningens spontane rytme inviteres sindet til at give slip og dykke ned i meditationen. Da vi arbejder med flow bliver denne workshop mere fysisk krævende end den første, men stadig på et niveau hvor alle kan være med. Hvis du kan lide vinyasa-yoga, asthanga eller andre flydende yogastilarter vil denne workshop give dig nogle værktøjer til at arbejde med overgange og men også til at gå dybere med fokuseret opmærksomhed og de meditative aspekter af en flydende praksis.

Der undervises normalt på dansk, men der skiftes til engelsk på opfordring. Spørg endeligt hvis der er ord du ikke forstår.

Bandaerne er en af de mest kraftfulde teknikker I yoga. Derfor er de ofte omgæret af en masse hype og mystik. Men egentlig er de hverken mystiske eller svære at lære, de er blot et sæt af muskulære aktiviteter som har nogle overraskende stærke effekter. Ud over deres subtile energetiske aspekter er bandhaerne også en hjælp til at praktisere yoga med integritet, det vil sige uden skader eller smerte. Bandhas forbinder kroppens forskellige dele til et udeleligt hele og er derfor en uundværlig del af en sikker, effektiv og frydefuld yogapraksis. På workshoppen får du nogle værktøjer til at aktivere bandhas muskulært gennem åndedrættet og strukturelt gennem simple yogastillinger. Ved at lære hvordan du gør dette sensitivt kan du få adgang til deres helende og integrerende kraft. Workshoppen er åben for alle. Det er bedst ikke at have spist 1,5-  2  timer inden workshoppen starter. Der bliver serveret smoothie, the og mandler i pausen. Workshoppen er åben for alle.
