Module 1: The solar plexus
Part 1: Combining stability, activity and lightness
in the yoga poses and in our lives.
Saturday 7th February – Sunday 8th February 2015
at Extons Barn, Milverton, TA4 1RG
“When an asana is structured with distinct components, each component can be experienced more clearly and each can function according to its true purpose.” Heinz Grill
This weekend will focus on the energy centre at the solar plexus (manipura chakra) and you will learn how to structure the asanas (yoga poses) related to this centre correctly. You will experience three different quaities that work together in these asanas: A stable base produces calmness, an active centre generates energy and stimulates a healthy ability to stretch and lengthen the spine upwards, and a light upper region gives a relaxed, overseeing mental clarity and a feeling of open, free space. We will practise many different asanas and study two central ones – the triangle and the bow – more thoroughly in their practice and their inner meanings. The weekend will contain two full length, active yoga classes in addition to interactive teaching sessions.

The teacher training course consists of monthly weekend workshops and follows a modular approach. To complete each module you need to attend the two or three weekends which make up that module and complete a written or verbal assignment. A yoga teaching certificate will be issued following completion of 10 modules. This flexible, modular system means that you can join the course or come for a trial weekend at any time.
