This Prana, Breath, and Mind workshop is for those seeking an immersion in the deeper dimensions of yoga practice.
We will balance a clear conceptual understanding of yoga psychology with the intimate encounters discovered within the rich and subtle terrain of embodied experience.
Pranayama is a profoundly intimate affair and helps us cultivate a relationship with the living current of life itself.
This is a full day workshop with Paul Wooden:
Part I: PREPARING THE GROUND
Exploring how gravity, ground, and space open the natural self-organizing dynamics of the body in asana practice.
Part II: INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS
Entering the rich and subtle terrain of Pranayama & Yoga Psychology (includes Dharma talk)
Some of the themes we will cover are:
Prana as essential nourishment
Aligning with the natural self-organising dynamics of the body
The role of gravity in breathing
Cultivating responsiveness in practice
Befriending and refining feeling
Understanding Yoga psychology and developmental psychology
Trusting the natural intelligence of life
About Your Instructor - Paul Wooden
Paul has been practicing and studying yoga and meditation for over 40 years and teaching for 35 years.
He draws from his experience in many different styles and traditions and, through a practical understanding of their underlying unifying principles, weaves together a cohesive and integrated approach to yoga.
Paul is a unique voice in the world of yoga. He has a way of bringing the sometimes abstract teaching of yoga into ordinary language making them accessible and workable in our lives.
Working with Paul is an invitation to the deeper dimensions of practice. His particular way of working opens us to the sensitivity and receptivity necessary for the subtler inner practices.
He continues to study the inexhaustible richness of the wisdom traditions and complements these studies with a more contemporary understanding of the human condition, including developmental psychology, integral theory and trauma work (somatic experiencing) which seeks to help uncover and release the binding patterns of trauma in the body.
