2 Alignment- based Flow workshops with Kenny Graham (US) 10h30-12h30: Experiencing Essence Everyday we feel an array of different feelings that resonate from the core of our consciousness. Our experiences and thoughts give rise to feelings that create the fabric of our lives in the form of memories and patterns. At the foundation of these experiences is the theory of rasa, essencefeeling, sentiment, and "taste" that creates this ensemble of personal identity. There are 9 main Rasa (taste) that Yoga philosophy gives to us and part of the gift of life is the ability to experience them all. The one who partakes in the practice of fully tasting life (Rasa) is known as the Rasika. We will explore the Rasa through yoga asana (movement), art and music all of it leaving you with the sweetest taste in your soul. Please bring a yoga mat, pen and notebook. 14h00-16h00: The Power of Prana (Life Force) Where the Prana goes the mind will follow. Prana is the subtle energy in the body that supports the overall health of all the major systems in the human body, Respiratory system, Nervous system, Endocrine system, Digestive system and Cardiovascular/Circulatory system. Pranayama (breath practice) and yoga postures have a direct impact on the state of prana within the body and help to bring balance to all of our beautiful systems and in return calm the mind preparing you for meditation. In this workshop you will learn techniques to balance prana, open the heart and calm the mind. The techniques and practices you learn here will be tools for a lifetime. Drawing on his 23 years of study and experience, Kenny Graham teaches yoga in a way that is accessible, intelligent and inspiring. He teaches in an alignment-based flow that blends music with movement (because everything is better with music!). His teaching helps free the mind, lighten the heart and increase body awareness. In turn, this creates greater strength and flexibility. His vision is to support others practice so that it becomes sustainable for years to come. He honors the fact that each body is unique, and understands the overarching template of moving anatomy. This understanding allows him to recognize the potential inherent in each practitioner.
