Yoga and men are not a new combination: 2.200 years this Hinduistic teaching were only practiced by men. Last decades yoga in the West is mostly embraced by women. But tides are changing, so men be there!

 Theme: Grounding and releasing.

In this workshop we will work our body combining strength, breath and relaxation. The focus will be inside, so we work from compactness to the outside.

The main part is to learn how we not only use our strength which is a typical male ‘thing’, but how we can combine it with our breath and relaxation to go deeper into the asana. Which we can ‘hold’ longer with grounding and releasing and without using force.

When we work from our centre we become strong and compact on the inside, while the outside will feel light and soft.

What’s  the program?

• We  will start with kriya’s and vayu’s- cleaning excersises and pranayama- breathing excersises to focus the attention inwardly
• When our body is relaxed and our mind silent, we start with a nice flow warming up.
• Followed by asana’s with emphasis on grounding and releasing as a preparation for the more challenging asana’s
• At the end a guided meditation
• Next to the physical excersises also attention to yoga philosophy, as we are not only a body
• Yoga sutra 1.2: Yogas citta vritti nirodhah- yoga is the restriction of the fluctuations of consciousness.
