GARETH
WILLIAMS &CHANTAL RAFFERTY of CHELTENHAM YOGA
11-18th Sept 2010 - £578 based on shared accommodation.
We are also running a holiday in JULY
at Les Passeroses.
Gareth
& Chantal believe that yoga is a very personal thing. We're all individuals
with different abilities & limitations that should be recognised &
worked with in a practice. They take their yoga seriously but also believe
that yoga can be fun!
Typically the practices on the holiday will be a combination of 'gently'
dynamic sequences, moving slowly through asanas with constant awareness
of the breath, static postures (again, with a focus on working with the
breath), pranayama techniques, to bring awareness to the mind & energy
plus guided meditation / relaxation.
About
the holiday:
These weeks are intended to be a relaxing & interesting experience
with the opportunity for people to deepen their understanding & practice
of yoga whist enjoying the beautiful French countryside & imaginative
- chef prepared - vegetarian food.
Yoga:
There
will be a mixed ability class each morning & evening (except Wednesday
evening), working with asana, pranayama & guided relaxation.
The style of these classes will follow an approach influenced by the teachings
of Krishnamacharya & Desikachar (formerly known as viniyoga).
Workshops:
Over the course of the week we'll be offering 4x 2-3 hour workshops /
activities which will run in the mornings between breakfast & lunchtime.
These workshops are likely to focus on subjects such as:
Thai Yoga Massage
Prana theory
Pranayama
Meditation
Yoga philosophy from the Sutras of Patanjali
Yoga Nidra
Spare
time:
Of
course there will be plenty of time to explore the beautiful gardens,
or local countryside either by foot or bicycle, visit the local village
or just relax by the pool.
In the evenings, if lounging on the decked dining terrace chatting doesn't
appeal there's always the 'Moroccan lounge' where you can play board games,
listen to music or watch a movie.
There's even a local therapist who will visit if an aromatherapy massage
or reflexology session sounds good.
Chantal will also be available for Thai yoga massage.
