As yoga practitioners, we have developed some level of familiarity with mantras, and maybe use them regularly in our practice. This workshop will take our practice and understanding of mantras even deeper by transforming it into a full-body experience, based on movement vocabulary from Odissi. This classical dance originates from the temples of India, where it was presented as an offering to the deity as a devotional practice.
The timely theme for this workshop is Diwali. The Hindu Festival of Lights celebrates the victory of light over darkness, symbolising how inner and outer illumination drives away ignorance and despair. It celebrates the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and new beginnings of hope, renewal and prosperity.
This Odissi-inspired workshop will work with stories and mantras related to this beautiful tradition, to invite grace, light and prosperity into our body and into our life.
This workshop is suitable for all levels. The full expression of the poses require strength and flexibility, which will challenge regular yoga practitioners, and I will offer options to make them accessible to beginners as well.
Everyone is welcome at CAMYOGA. Our classes, workshops and Saturday Specials are open to the wider community as well as regular students, with flexible ways to attend whether you come occasionally or practise with us every week.
For this workshop, Tamara will guide the group clearly throughout, and it is suitable for all levels of experience with yoga, mantra and dance, including complete beginners.
Our Saturday Specials are a chance to explore something a little different at the weekend. You can join for £20 as a drop-in, while CAMYOGA members and class pass holders can attend as part of their existing pass.
