Cycle Awareness for Ashtanginis
Online Workshop with Nea Ferrier
Saturday December 12
3:00-5:00pm
AED150 (recording available)
Ashtanga yoga is traditionally a daily practice, with the practitoner taking rest one day a week and on moondays. This daily practice provides a wonderful opportunity to oberserve our changing moods, attitudes and energy levels. While the practice may be the same each day, the way we encounter it will be different.
For female practitioners, we can use our practice to connect on a deeper level with our menstrual cycle. This workshop will explore the four key stages of a women’s cycle and how to integrate this knowledge with our Ashtanga yoga practice, to enhance our feminity and sexuality as yoginis.
The workshop will include a lecture and a restorative yoga practice.
The Big Still
Friday December 18
2:00-5:00pm
AED180
The final BIG STILL of the Year.
A time where we shall come together in stillness and reflect.
Within the session we put ourselves into simple poses. We resolve to be still and we release over time. We dare to let things be.
If you think that you’ve got some tension stored as a result of this year, come join in.
