THE WORKSHOP
Cultivating a practice that brings about a fully embodied and cohesive sense of being is key for the depths of yoga to unfold. Bringing together multiple aspects and perspectives allows us to grow a transformational yet sustainable practice rooted in personal experience. We will to deepen our understanding of yoga as a whole, involving all layers – body, breath and mind, through ashtanga yoga and pranayama. We will emphasise how this practice helps each of us to work for the good of the whole, our full selves, our community and humanity.
SCHEDULE
Friday March 13th 18.00 – 20.00: Traditionally Sanskrit Counted Primary Series
We open the circle of this celebration weekend by coming together as One in body, breath and mind through the beauty and flow of a traditionally Sanskrit counted Primary Series. When we focus on counting the Mala of the postures, the practice becomes the object of meditation for the student and the teacher, creating one single intention.
Saturday & Sunday March 14th and 15th from 8.00 (exact start time closer to date):
Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Style – Assisted Self Practice
Mysore sessions allow for individual guidance to deepen your personal practice. We will pay careful attention to each individual, helping to build an intelligent, mindful practice steeped in yogic principles. Kia will be assisted by the Rosina Bonsu Moves team. All levels welcome but you need to be able to practice Mysore Style Self-Practice.

We will come together to celebrate the life of an exceptional woman and teacher, our very dear Rosina.

Sunday March 15th 13.00 – 14.30: The Philosophy & Practice of Pranayama
The division between the body and mind is first healed with the breath. In this session we will deepen our appreciation of the subtleties of breath and its significance in yogic practices and philosophy. New students will be introduced to traditional teachings of pranayama and kriyas, whilst those with more experience will refine and deepen their practice and understanding.
