Ed Clarke workshop

digby — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:02:38 +0000

Another great workshop with Edward Clarke! Ed and Nikki returned to Stonemonkey bringing their understanding and take on the Vinyasa method. Testing everyone’s ability to stay focused on the form of the asana. The focus was on understanding the true form of vinyasa with no breaks in breath or movement pure vinyasa! Ed & Nikki encouraging people to feel the breath throughout the body opening energy lines for the prana to bring expansion to the asana, which made for intense focus both mentally and physically!

A big thank you To Ed & Niki and to everyone who attended the day.

If you missed Ed this time he will be back next year so

Edward Clark Tripsicore Yoga Workshop

digby — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:00:32 +0000

Edward Clark yoga workshop on Sunday 26 February 2012

Inverted postures and backbends

Edward Clark will take students on an exploration of the dynamic potential of backbends and inversions within the framework of Tripsichore Yoga Theatre’s vinyasa technique. This workshop will start with the fundamental relationships of pranayama and asana and pranayama and movement/flow. As we progress, it will focus on inversions and backbends within this framework of breath, pose and flow.

There are two aspects to inversions and back bends – the thrill of the spectacularly acrobatic and the peace of nearly effortless balancing. Both require skill and physical intelligence. They also require a degree of courage and a willingness to experiment. There are many methods used to attain inverted postures as well as back bends and a fantastic number of variations are possible. We will look at a number of these in this workshop. We will, however, be confining our explorations to what we see as having a distinctly yogic approach. The postures will be attempted using the yogic methods concerning breathing and focus. This means that they are – comparatively – safe to attempt. A deeper practice isn’t just about achieving harder postures. Rather, it is also about the grace with which you perform them.

11.00am-1.30pm – The Inverted Work

2.30-5.00pm – Back Bends

£55 or £45 if payment received by Stonemonkey by Saturday 11 February 2012.Payment is required in full to secure your place.
