prana 'n apana flow

​This sequence is an elementary approach to yoga practice, as a daily tool should aim to be: simple.

The sequence emphasises the dual aspects of our nature: feminine/masculine, light/darkness, life/death.

The forces of expansion and contraction start to dialogue through the increase of spinal movement. We intensify the alternation of complementary moves: after a backbend, we bend forward or rotate immediately afterwards. This is the matrix.

​

Asanas are also explored as a combination of both forces - we search for apana within the openings and prana within the contractions.

​

Asanas and sequences can be slightly or strongly complementary in terms of expansion/contraction patterns. The distinctive sequence of this practice is the combination of Ustrasana - Sirsasana aka Camel Pose - Headstand for 3 times in a row. 
 

We alternate yin and yang positions and sequences, and combine dynamic and static approach to some positions, inspired by Thai Yoga Massage fascia work. Our static approach to shapes, which we practice to create a certain vibration within our bodies, sometimes leads to a stagnant practice with too much fire and focus on how to appear or be positioned.

By integrating dynamic techniques of Thai Yoga Massage to our traditional asanas we will be working with the waters within us – shaking and massaging the body, working on the lymphatic system – so we can shift attention from form to feeling. From the objective, to the intention.

​

I trust water. It always reveal what really matters.
