Manual Adjustments and Community – this workshop from June 11-15 is aimed at yoga teachers and interested yogis. Due to cancellations, spots have become available again.
Look forward to Michael Stewart, founder of Shanta Vira Yoga, and five intensive and inspiring days amidst the beautiful Harz nature with delicious vegan and vegetarian organic meals!
Retreat is the preferred means to share profound practices within Shanta Vira Yoga and Villa Viriditas is the perfect location for our in-depth explorations. In this retreat we will look at two seemingly divergent methods; that are in fact practices of connectivity. A vital element of Shanta Vira Yoga is relationship, which at its core requires connectivity.
In Hatha Yoga, there are many methods for students to experience Asana. These can include alignment based practices instructed through verbal cues, demonstration of various asana, and also Manual adjustment. In this retreat Michael Stewart will focus on Manual adjustments, this means guiding students into various asana, with anatomically safe, hands on adjustment while maintaining safe physical boundaries, between teacher and students. All instructions come with a set of verbal cues between the student and teacher to maintain safe boundaries for both.
As Active Community Participation is an essential Pillar of Shanta Vira Yoga, it is the perfect addition for this retreat. You can expect a variety of practices: interpersonal communication, co-listening, non-verbal communication, pushing hands and Kirtan that will support us in further developing necessary skills to be in community.
