Weekend Workshop with Damien de Bastier
DAMIEN DE BASTIER is coming from Bali to teach Mysore Style classes & Workshops in Graz!
Ashtanga Workshop with Damien de Bastier (Bali)
Graz | Oct 29 – 31, 2021
Yoga Beyond Asana Series
Is a platform developed by Damien de Bastier to deepen your yoga practice by exploring some of the traditional texts of the enormous yogic literature written over the centuries and thus remain fairly close to the original intentions of yoga: Using yoga to live healthier and happier lives, and ultimately with more freedom. With that in mind, the philosophy classes are not aimed at scholarly rendering of the exact meaning of the texts but more as springboards for inquiry, reflections, and collecting tools that could be useful on and off the yoga mats in our modern lives. A yoga of the mind if you will.
Since modern yoga also implies an extensive use of the body through various asana practices, Damien deems useful to cultivate a holistic understanding of how our body works in order to provide a safer approach to practice but also a deeper joy in exploring and expressing an embodiment of intelligence in action. Thus the anatomy classes are aimed to simplify complex theories with practical explorations and always answering the question of “how is that useful to me and my yoga practice” throughout..
There are 6 modules in this series developped by Damien that aim at providing broad and comprehensive understanding of yoga from 3 perspectives: Yoga practice, Yoga philosophy and Yoga anatomy. One of these modules FINDING HARMONY WITHIN will be taught in Graz by Damien. We’ll study some of the key texts left from over 4000 years of yoga development,
as well as 6 of the key anatomical systems of the body relevant to movement practices and yogic studies. Each module includes a focus of internal and external applications to nourish our practice.
In this workshop „FINDING HARMONY WITHIN“ we will follow an introduction to Ayurveda and learn how to balance our practice and life according to Ayurvedic wisdom. In the Anatomy sessions we will study our organs and learn to include them in our yoga practice in order to find more wholeness and cultivate a holistic approach to our existence. We will also explore a few of the Kriyas, internal purifications, to help our system rebalance itself.
