Trika Workshop, Bristol, 5th July ~ Progressing from L1-L2
Join us for a two hour workshop at Trika Yoga, Bristol
You’ll be introduced to more refined adjustments in asanas that bring stability, consolidation and depth of experience. We’ll explore how to find ease in each pose, 'sthira sukham asanam’ ('the posture should be steady and comfortable’ - Patanjali's Yoga Sutras)
We’ll be workshopping some challenging poses, like arm balances and backbends, with guidance of how to prepare the body, how to approach the poses and how props can be used to make the poses accessible for all.
The workshop will be grounded in philosophical themes for contemplation as you practise. Come with an open mind and a desire for a playful practice!
Saturday 5th July, 3.30pm-5.30pm at Trika Yoga, Bedminster, Bristol (spaces available - BOOK HERE)

Philosophy Workshop at Trika Yoga, Bristol

This workshop will examine the philosophy behind our asana/postural practice and explore the intersection of body-mind-spirit through concepts outlined in key yogic texts, including Patanjali’s ’The Yoga Sutras’ and ’The Bhagavad Gita’.
It will look at practical suggestions from these texts on how to live a more meaningful and fulfilled life and will consider big questions around the ‘I’ the ‘doer’ ~ who are we on this yogic path and what of our experience of ourselves is real?!
