Join us for this weekend immersion in the Hatha Yoga Tradition with an international Guest

We are pleased to host Olav Arrts our first international guest at Yoga Corner Ferrara.

You can’t miss this magical opportunity.

The mind is the subtlest part of the body, and the body is the most tangible expression of  the mind. By offering this weekend workshop, we hope you experience the totality of your  being: concentration & distraction, heaviness & lightness, contraction & expansion,  feebleness & stability. The embodied philosophy and methods of Haṭhayoga aid you to  an intense unfolding your consciousness. We hope you learn to access the timeless of the  sacred in the midst of profane reality.  

During this weekend we journey together in our practise, from the body to the formless,  and from gross to subtle. Practising various Hathayoga techniques as pragmatic manipulations of your body to free the dwelling consciousness within. Unlocking your  joyfully embodied, calm and potent nature. There will be time for dialogue and questions.  

PROGRAM  

November 29 Friday: 19.00 – 20:30  MASTERCLASS MAHAHAṬHA  

A potent mix covering all the various techniques of Hathayoga; meditation, pranayama,  band, and various types asanas like forward bends, (hand)balancing, rotations and  inversions. During the practise we will cover the embodied philosophy of hatha.  

November 30 Saturday: 10:00-13:00 & 15:00-18:00  PRANAYAMA, BACK BENDS & PHILOSOPHY  

We will focus this workshop on philosophy of different yoga traditions, and their  perception of the yoga body. We combine this with different pranayama’s (breathing  techniques) and mudra and bandha (seals & locks). These were the main techniques of  medieval yoga, before the advent of modern asana based yoga.  

This will open the mind and the body for a focussed and backbending workshop in the  afternoon. We will explore various backhanding asana’s from standing to inversions. All  levels of practitioners are welcome as we work gradually, step-by-step, according to your  own experience and intensity.  

December 1st Sunday: 10:00 – 13:00  HAND-ARM BALANCINGS & INVERSIONS  

The last session we will explore arm balancings and inversions in more depth. These two  types of asana are the culmination of mental, emotional, and physical awareness.  Equanimity and calmness as expressions of consciousness is the fruit of these asana’s.  There will be time for dialogue and questions. 

Spots are limited so we encourage to reserve your spot as soon as possibile
