Intensive: Six practical workshops on:Anatomy for Yoga (Amsterdam)
Fridays: April 29, May 6, May 13, May 20, June 10, June 17
(10.00-12.30)
(10.00-12.30)
Experience, discover and understand the limitations and possibilities of your body to create a secure, personal, deep and adventurous yoga practice with endless possibilities.
In these six practical workshops, each lasting 2.5 hours, you will learn to analyze the anatomical differences between our bodies and you will understand and experience why each one of us may need to practice yoga poses differently.
If none of us is equal, why do we have to do the yoga poses in the same way?
We all know that every body has its limitations and possibilities, but we often forget these individual differences. We get obsessed with pursuing the "perfect" pose and lose sight of the therapeutic effects and potential of each yoga pose for us as individuals. This can ultimately result in a lot of frustration and may cause injuries.
To analyze why a yoga practitioner can or can not can do a yoga pose, we must learn to look beyond the surface and understand the natural differences in our skeleton which determines how we move.
Instead of a mere theoretical lecture about anatomy, you interactively discover, compare and understand with the other participants everyone's anatomical possibilities and differences while doing various yoga poses.
You will learn to identify the joints and muscles which are used in the most common yoga poses. You will learn to determine your physical capabilities and limitations and how to adapt and adjust the yoga poses to them so as to prevent unnecessary injuries. Also you will learn to define the general functions of a yoga pose and how to investigate what can be the relevant therapeutical function of the pose for your body.
Each workshop ends with a yoga class which consists of a combination of Yin / hatha / Power / Vinyasa Yoga. During this session you will experience and try out what you have learned during each workshop.
A unique opportunity to get to know, analyze and use your body in order to deepen your yoga practice!
Notes:
• This workshop is ideal for beginners, advanced Yogis and Yoga teachers who want to understand their body, want to explore its boundaries and want to create a personal and therapeutic practice.
• The anatomical principles apply to all yoga poses, yoga styles and other sports.

Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine (element fire), Amsterdam
Sunday 8th of May (17.00 - 19.30), Amsterdam
Yoga and Chinese medicine, two ancient practices with a common goal: to harmonise mankind.Experience the element 'fire', as referred to in the Chinese medicine.
At first, Jose will introduce the Chinese Yin-Yang theory and the element ´fire´ with its associated organs and meridians (heart and small intestine). In the Chinese medicine it is the heart that controls our mental activity and is the home of our spirit. The mind is only a place where thoughts are received and stored; the energy of the Heart controls these thoughts. The splendor of the Heart Chi makes us shine and it expresses our ability to communicate our thoughts and emotions and how we relate to ourselves, others and our environment. Although physically the Heart and Small Intestine are not connected, they share the same characteristic energy. Both choose what is important to or what may be discarded from our body and mind. If this process is unbalanced, there might occur an excess of the element "fire" in the system and can cause digestion problems (diarrhea or constipation), heart disease, loss of speech, chronic sadness etc.
Then you can enjoy a specific Yin Yoga session in which we unblock, harmonise and stimulate the energy of these organs. We also release related deep emotions (shyness, intolerance, panic, hyperactivity, impulsiveness and loss of memory).
On a physical level, we open the chest, enhance the range of movement of the shoulders, and increase the flexibility of the arms, torso and thoracic spine.
Balancing the energy of the Heart and Small Intestine with Yin Yoga, makes us feel more active, alive, healthy, happy, with inner peace.
You´ll feel happier and more connected to yourself and your environment!

´When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.

Yoga and Reiki, two ancestral practices with a common goal: harmonizing the human being.
The Union of Yin Yoga and Reiki in specialized workshops is a mutually reinforcing cooperation of therapeutic work for the benefit of our physical, mental or emotional health, to increase our vitality and to become aware of our personal capacities.

Then we continue with the practical part which consists of a guided meditation to generate Reiki, followed by a specific sequence of Yin Yoga postures with the application of Reiki and ending with a long relaxation to amplify the energetic effects.
