2 Workshop with Senior teacher Brent MacKay on June 14th at Ballymaloe Grainstore

Join Brent for a day of yoga!

10.30am - 12.30pm

‘Riding the waves home’

A full spectrum two-hour vinyasa flow exploring the calmness in the eye of the storm through focusing on the breath as the centering principle of our movement. We will move from the form of balances, bends and twists to the formless bliss of being lost in ‘the zone’.

By flipping the switch of Yang energy, the power of Surya, the sun, we will harness the energy of transformation, the power to burn off impurities to create a shiny, radiant self.

The practice is open to anyone, especially the curious and spirited travellers on the path.

Saturday afternoon: 2- 4pm

‘Penetrating through to inner space’

The wisdom of the ancient pioneers of yoga as a pathway to self-discovery still resonates with us today. The fundamental truth that we are not our body, thoughts, emotions, or ego becomes more and more clear through the practice and disciplines of yoga.

In this two-hour practice we will visualize the body as a bow, the asana as the arrow, and the atman, or self, as the target.

We will penetrate through the layers of being, the koshas, with a strong physical presence to establish the importance of the life-force, prana.

A sequence of hip-openers, binding poses and forward folds will move us progressively inward.

The intelligence of the mind will keep us aligned and on target. We will witness the expanding wisdom of our experience as we surrender to the bliss of being.
