I'm excited to be heading back to Uppsala, Sweden this coming September for a Weekend Full of workshops:
Friday 28/9
17.00-19.00 "Twist out the Tension - Free the breath and unravel the spine."
This workshop focuses on releasing tension in the muscles that restrict our breathing, and that limit the movements of our spine - the hips, the shoulders and chest, and the side body.
Join me on the mat for this intelligently sequenced and anatomically conscious fun and explorative workshop. All Levels Welcome.
Saturday 29/9
10.00-11.45 "Master Class: The Full-Body Reboot: A Complete and Balanced Practice."
In this full-body extended vinyasa class, we take the time to work through the entire body - approaching each posture as way to come to a deeper understanding of yourself Physically. Exploring the anatomy + biomechanics of postures as we move, you’ll gain deeper understanding and insight into postures in relation to your unique body and mind.
We will breathe, we will move, we will twist, we will flex, we will extend, we may even float or fly…
This class will activate, stabilise and invigorate - as well as nurture, and allow time for release with a sense of ease as the practice draws to a close.
Join me on the mat for a fully body and mind experience.
12.30-18.30 "Mindful Mobility part 1 and 2"
Starting at the toes and working up to your head, this workshop will cover an array of different stretching techniques. In this workshop, Dan will take you through a full body stretching experience. Incorporating and educating you in various stretching techniques and modalities. This workshop aims to give you a deeper insight into your own body, and how to work with it in a more mindful way. Building a map of the tension areas in your body, and then learning to work with them.
Built from the awareness that each and every human body is different, we have different habitual and holding patterns that effect our bodies and the way we move. Through experimenting with various postures & stretching techniques, you will begin to understand your own body more – where you hold tension, and where you have blockages and limitations.
Not only will you become more mindful of your body in this workshop, you will learn how you can release that tension to create a little more ease in your body - and how through this knowledge we can begin exploring the progressions of postures such as Hanumanasana (Front Split), and Urdvha Dhanurasana (Bridge) and of course many more.
Break in the middle for lunch/snack.
19.00-21.00 Dinner at Picnic for those who want to join!
Let us end a great day with a great dinner together at Picnic and get to know each other outside the yoga mat.
Cost for dinner is not included in the workshop.
Sunday
12.00-15.00 “From Plank, to Pendant: A workshop on building foundation strength for your Arm Balances."
This workshop explores the fundamentals of stability and mobility for a range of arm balances - starting with postures like plank, and working our way through crow, side crow, crane, epk, flying pigeon, pendent, single leg crow, crane to handstand if you want...
Through understanding how we build a solid foundation, the practice can then be built upon.
Please don't feel put off by some of the postures mentioned, this workshop will be adapted based on the group of the day - looking at the postures that feel most relevant to the group - so come along and have some fun with us.
16.00-18.30 "Hands as Feet - Learn to Turn Your World Upside Down."
The aim of this workshop is to bring you a deeper understanding of the relevant anatomy and alignment principles of a handstand.
With a focus on the five key focus points of an inversion, and through practical experience of various skills and drills, this workshop will help you to obtain a solid foundation from which to build your inversions practice - leading to a more solid and consistent Inversion practice, and helping you to find balance upside down with ease.
