A full day of holistic yoga with James. In the morning we will begin with preliminary exercises and kriyās (purification techniques) and then lead into a fairly dynamic physical yoga practice including simple vinyasas and held āsanas. Morning practice will conclude with classic prāṇāyāmā (breath control) techniques and conclude with yoganidrā (guided relaxation).
After lunch, James will give a presentation on the experiential philosophy of Patañjali's aṣṭāṅgayoga. If time allows there will be an opportunity for questions and group discussion. The day will finish with some simple vinyasa movements, prāṇāyāma and yoganidrā.
James has been practising haṭha yoga for over twenty years. He trained in India and the UK and has studied with senior & respected yogis. He has been teaching haṭha yoga since 2007 and is a tutor for the Devon School of Yoga. He runs a small yoga studio in Torbay called “Yoga Torquay” where he teaches weekly classes and workshops. James is currently a student at SOAS, University of London where he is studying for a Master’s Degree in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation.
