Yoga workshops, events and retreats
Weekly yoga classes are invaluable, especially if they are supplemented with some practice at home. However, our practice can go substantially deeper if we occasionally give it more time and space to unfold.
Yin & Yang Yoga workshop
On Sunday 10th October 10am-1pm at Bodywise Natural Health Centre, this workshop will explore the practice of dynamic yang flow movement through a combination of circular and spiral patterns, as well as working in asana through alignment skills and principles of physical anatomy. We will also spend time exploring a Yin style practice which focuses on the feminine, restorative and meditative practices. These two approaches to our yoga practice encourages a more balanced and integrated way of being.
To book a place contact Bodywise. Full workshop price is £27/£22 and is non-refundable.
Week-long yoga and meditation retreats with Manjunaga in 2011
At Dhanakosa retreat centre: 29th April - 6th May & 28th Oct - 4th Nov
Manjunaga will be joined by his friend Dhiramati, a very experienced yoga and meditation teacher, and also very entertaining!
Dhanakosa, with its loch shore location in the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, provides a quiet and beautiful setting for retreats. The centre is just 90 minutes drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh and is easily accessible by public transport.
For more information visit the Dhanakosa web site.
"I would thoroughly recommend a weeks retreat at Dhanokosa, a fantastic opportunity to slow down, reflect and unwind. As a first timer to retreats I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as I arrived I felt welcome and quickly settled in. What's fantastic about the retreat is having a whole week to relax, practice yoga and meditation with like minded people. Whilst Manjunaga's yoga was suitable for beginners, it also offered enough of a challenge for individuals who had been practicing regularly.
Dhanokosa looks over Loch Lomond and I had plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings, dip my toe into the loch and walk the surrounding hills.
After a weeks retreat at Dhanakosa I felt revived mentally and physically."
Louise Belinfante
I am a sixty year old rock climber and started attending yoga classes to gain more flexibility. Practising with Manjunaga has certainly improved my flexibility, however he has also shown me that there is more to yoga than that. His classes have helped me improve my physical and mental strength which I am successfully applying to rock climbing and everyday life.
