XL workshops, teacher trainings & workshops?
Muscular Freedom Starts with the Joints — Feet, Knees, and Hips
with Doug Keller
Our nervous system regulates our flexibility according to the freedom it perceives in our joints. That means that the state of our feet and knees profoundly influences the flexibility of our hamstrings, hips, and low back. Our practical focus will be on the lower body: principles for working with the feet, knees, and hips, with new insights into the feet as the keys to these joints in all classes of poses.
The Heart of Movement: the Sacrum and Spine
with Doug Keller
The natural undulation of the spine in movement is also the key to diaphragmatic breath, and steadiness of the mind. This movement begins at the sacrum. We focus on this vital movement of the sacrum and spine in asana and vinyasa, and will expand to include the torso, the realm of the breath and of the ‘gut,’ as well as sacroiliac health.
The Arms, Shoulders, and Neck as the Wings of Yoga
with Doug Keller
This very practical work with the upper body in asana practice will also include an exploration of the connection between the psoas and the deep muscles of the neck, in breath as well as in movement. This will take us further into breath practice, as well as an understanding of the chakras and their practical role in meditative practice.
Ashtanga Yoga Spring Renewal
with Marilou van Hoek
Ashtanga Yoga offers not just a series of powerful postures, but a holistic approach to wellness that purifies and detoxifies. In this course, you’ll explore the fundamental elements of Ashtanga: Breath, Bandhas, and Drishti, while gaining deeper insight into the history and philosophy of yoga.
Keys to the Shoulders
with Doug Keller
Doug will explain the significance of ‘joint play’ and lay out fundamental principles for working with the shoulder joints safely and effectively. Yoga poses help us to explore shoulder freedom, and there are lots of variations and exercises for making progress.
XL: Digestion, Nutrition and Yoga
with Gina dos Santos Hilte
This workshop explores the relationship between the nervous system and the digestive system through the lens of hatha yoga and pranayama.
