Touching
the heart of Yoga with Christian Damek
7pm Wednesday
12 – 4pm Sunday 16 September
Christian Damek who
has trained with HH The Dalai Lama amongst other eminent teachers,
is a teacher and practitioner of what he calls Hybrid Yoga.
Based on his studies of Integral
Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga,
and combining these fundamentally traditional Ayuervedic approaches
with Tantra and the schools
of Bhikram, Iyengar, Sivananda, Kundalini and Viniyoga styles,
he trains his students in alignment, movement and breath awareness.
Meditation and chanting are used to systematically explore
one’s inner sense of re-awakening. Christian uses spiritual
philosophy; metaphors and poetry to further enhance the dept
of his training.
This Yoga Retreat will consist of
a comprehensive programme of daily practice and is accompanied
by ‘workshopping’ various aspects. The participants
will receive detailed instruction and support so as to design
or deepen their personal practice.
The afternoon workshops consist of dealing with the process
of more clearly developing the physical alignment details
in the Flow Sequences, and answer questions that often surface
in the deepening process of the Posture, Breathing and Meditation
practices.
This part is usually very helpful for people on any level
of practice – it is very often through hands on adjustments
and working with a coach/partner that the practice becomes
deeper felt, enjoyed and understood.
This is called ‘workshopping’ the practice, taking
it down to its components in order to more clearly understand
the actions/reactions and subtleties.
