Prasana Practices: Creative Approaches to Vinyasa Yoga with Eric Shaw
26-28 October, Ngee Ann City
| About the Workshop |
|---|
| "Prasana" has two meanings: The "fulfilment" (pra) of asana, and "to throw" (prasana). Asana's potential is fulfilled through creative exploration of poses and the "throws'" that link them. Prasana Yoga workshops provide principles for creating new asanas, transitions, and sequences in flow yoga. |
| Schedule & Description |
|---|
This weekend immersion has three parts:
1) Yoga's philosophy and history
2) Learning movement principles, like how to imitate a snake or a wave. We will find stambha — energetic grounding, and create ekagrata -moving one-pointedness — among other principles. We will study vinyasa's broad science and poetry to give us the foundation for comprehending how yoga works.
3) Applying these methods and philosophical frameworks to create new vinyasas and asanas. Yoga provides techniques to stimulate, contain and express energy in the body. Certain principles make this happen. We will apply these principles in creative work on the following schedule:
Session I: The History of Yoga - A Lecture with Archival Photography
