Conference Sessions
Asana as inquiry
not achievement
Saturday, 18 April /
11.00am-12.30pm
Public Yoga demonstrations
and books fuel a public fascination with extreme asanas
beyond most people’s capabilities, fuelling an
ego-led craving for achievement. This practice will
teach you to turn asana practice on its head, replacing
ambition with curiosity, and effort with skill as you are
guided by your breath. The results can be exquisite
pleasure simply to be comfortable in your body and at
peace with your breath and your mind. Learn how to avoid
niggling injuries and experience a joyful reconnection
and aliveness.
