ASHTANGA YOGA: VERTICAL PROGRESS V LINEAR PROGRESS

A weekend with Adam is always enlightening and at the same time grounding. He shares his unique perspective freely and enthusiastically, based on his years of experience and idea exchange with top asana practitioners from all schools as well as scholars.

SATURDAY
08.30 – 10.00 & 10.15 – 11.45: Ashtanga Yoga Self-Practice (two groups please choose your start time from the ticket options)

This practice is based on individual exploration, kindness, and fun. Adam gives yoga assistance in a safe and non-intrusive way. He does not believe in forcing people into postures, rather, he uses verbal and light physical touch to open new directions for you to follow if you wish. All are welcome to the Mysore class. Adam is happy if you need practice sheets, or he or Theresa will show you the postures.

12.30-14:00: Mobility v Flexibility
Yoga is about mobility, not flexibility. In this workshop you will learn how to work effectively with muscles and not damage your joints in your yoga practice.

14.30 – 15.30: How to Use the Bhagavad Gita to Make Choices

This fundamental text on yoga is all about when to act and when to not act, practice patience and forbearance. This is the deeper exploration of dharma it gives, which is a lot more nuanced than simply doing one’s duty.

Building strength from a strong foundation, in this workshop, we will build up arm balances from the basics and will go as high as you can go.

14.30 – 15.30: Over Pushing in Yoga
We will discuss the phenomenon of why we tend to over-push ourselves in yoga and Adam will give practical advice on how you can manage this, including creating short sequences based on the traditional series, which are good for home self-practice.
