Yoga Week with Pete Blackaby Peter Blackaby Yoga Week

Peter Blackaby has been teaching yoga for 28 yrs, he originally trained to teach Iyengar yoga but changed direction during his training in osteopathy and his meeting with  Mary Stewart. The last fifteen years have been a slow evolution in ideas towards a more humanistic approach. A humanistic perspective to yoga focus’s on the anatomy, physiology, psychology and philosophy of the human condition, from a reasoned point of view, without recourse to the supernatural.‘

'The approach I am working with at the moment has its roots in a humanistic philosophy. To understand as clearly as one can the rationale for yoga practice and then to encourage practice with attentive curiosity, so that practice becomes your own and you grow to be your own teacher.

The yoga classes during this retreat will investigate asana, breathing and our state of mind through yoga practice and conversation. The point of yoga as far as I am concerned is to help us integrate more fully into life. It starts with noticing the connections within us, the foot to the knee. The breath with movement.  It continues with noticing how we connect to others and how our own embodiment affects this relationship.

This workshop is open to anyone interested in broadening their perspective of yoga, particularly from a modern humanistic perspective. The atmosphere will be friendly and relaxed and participants will be encouraged to work at the pace that feels right for them.

This week is an in-depth exploration with a master of his craft. Pete’s courses at Lendrick have a profound effect on all who share the journey. Give yourself an unforgettable summer week in the stunning natural beauty of the Scottish Trossachs.
