Join me on this course with The Yoga People to awaken our Elemental Constitution and learn how to customize a Yin Experience that brings balance back to our Essences.
The immersion will explain how the Ancient Elements are intrinsic to all aspects of human nature and psychology. Through deeper inquiry and related understanding our essences can be harmonised using a personal, customisation process of the Yin Yoga practice.
Elemental Yin Practices
The Yin experiences will be themed around the Classical 4 Elements. Using a 'Functional, Anatomical Target Area Approach', our practices will address the Chi flow in their respective meridians and will focus on either Activating (increasing) or Pacifying (harmonising) their qualities. Combined with each element, these practice recipes will open student’s awareness to how each individual's experience is different.
Anatomical Variation
Students will build their anatomical understanding through the bone by bone comparisons of Skeletal Variation. Here we will analyse, evaluate and shed the illusion of aesthetics, adjusting from what we want, to how we should effectively and safely experience our yoga practice, for our own structure.
Elemental Customisation Methodology
During each session, a student will learn how to understand your individual Elemental constitution and how this expresses itself ‘experientially’ in your Yin Yoga journey. Students will understand deeply the methodologies of the Elemental practices in terms of their “Activation” and ‘Pacifying’ modalities and will gain tools and techniques on how to design and customise for personal application and for other individual needs.
What students will learn:
How to understand the essences of their own Elemental Constitution and how this relates to their way of being.
How to relate to others’ Elemental constitution and how this affects different ways of being.
How to relate the Elemental Philosophy & Psychology into the Yin Yoga practice.
How to experientially interpret what they feel in a Yin Yoga practice.
How to design and customise an Elemental Yin Yoga practice for themselves and for other Elemental Constitutions.
The course is for serious yoga practitioners and students who have unfolding interest in the ancient practices and Elemental Psychology. Students with over a year’s experience would be particularly suited to this course.
