WHEN
Saturday 25th of August, 2018 from 2pm to 7pm

WHY
Through a regular and smart yoga practice, we create a long and joyous life. Restorative Yoga is gaining more importance nowadays encountering our busy and often disembodied lifestyles. Restorative yogic techniques go beyond relaxing and resting. True renewal happens when the spine finds its optimal length, the joints are centered, the organs are cleansed and oxygenated, our biochemistry works at its optimum and the breath flows naturally. Yoga asana becomes a restorative practice when our consciousness can travel throughout the whole body and nurture our entire being with life force.
HOW
Reni teaches a variety of techniques that mostly stem from Katonah Yoga, including therapeutic prop set up to align and support the body, and set up the conditions for optimal organ function. You’ll learn to use blocks, blankets and straps to either restore yourself at home or to work with your students in a very detailed and therapeutic manner. Restorative Yoga is recommended to be integrated into a personal home practice and it offers the toolset to work with a wide range of students (privates or groups; elderly, injured or with chronic pain etc.).
This workshop is a hands-on training: besides practicing and experiencing different asana and exercises, you’ll learn how to support other people’s bodies. The goal is to first develop your vision in order to see and analyse a body’s orientation and then to develop the skills and the confidence to correctly touch and adjust it. In keeping with this year’s motto “self-care serves the collective well-being” Reni’s intention with this training is to empower her students as human beings. Either you are a yoga practitioner or a teacher, this workshop offers techniques to all participants to effectively restore and replenish themselves.
*The space is limited to 15 participants.
WHAT
The theory part of this workshop includes an introduction to concepts of the 5-elements-theory originating from Oriental Medicine in order to understand how our organs work and relate to each other. You’ll also learn about the idea of a seasonal yoga practice. Every organ or element corresponds to a specific season of the year. The different yoga asana all a have a specific purpose, not just structurally but also functionally and in relation to time. As smart yogis, we want to flow with the seasons and be able to quickly adapt to the external factors of life. Creating the framework for a healthy body and a strong mind gives us the capacity to be in touch with our interior and grow personally as well as spiritually.
Topics to be explored in this training:
