Immerse yourself in a 5 day day (4 nights) yoga bubble in the tranquility of the Origins Center in Balingup.Graeme Hodges and Deniz Orak will hold the space to sink deeply into the art of yoga.
In addition to daily physical and energetic practice in asana, pranayama and meditation, we also include a 70 minute workshop on 3 days to learn more about the underlying philosophy of yoga. Yoga is a way of life that weaves through every area of our being.
Graeme has been a student and teacher of the science of yoga for almost 50 years. he draws on a huge canon of knowledge of yoga and meditation from many master teachers, like B.K.S. Iyengar, T.K.V. Desikachar and Allan Wallace. Graeme has lived in ashrams in India for many years and is bringing these teachings to us, right here.
Deniz comes from a background of body work and energy healing and has stepped into yoga and meditation about 10 years ago. She facilitates many yoga and meditation events with the main intention of holding space for people to come back to themselves, to feel their inner worlds and to have a safe space where they can just take a deep breath and be for moment.
" On first encounter , the Yoga System can seem like an endless maze of teachings and practices . With over 300 yoga postures , dozens of pranayama techniques , and literally hundreds of meditation styles , it can be overwhelming and confusing trying to decide "what to do " , outside of attending classes . In this workshop , I will bring along my almost 50 years of delving into eastern traditions , in order to "Demystify " and make clearer the aims and methodology of the Yoga System , so that the attendees can create their own unique and authentic paths of practice , where they have the advantage of standing upon the shoulders of the great teachers of the past , and are able to make use of the maps that they have left behind . This workshop , though practical and "hands on " will also seek to clarify the somewhat obscure philosophy and psychology of Yoga by presenting it side by side with a modern understanding of "Mind and Matter " , and so perhaps making clearer the aims of Yoga . "Opening" ,or stretching the mind , as well as the body , are the top down / bottom up genius of the of the Yoga System !
