Creating Your Own Practice - Yoga Workshop

CREATING YOUR OWN HOME PRACTICE

If you are looking to create or refine your own home practice before the summer, this may be just the thing ! We’ll look at the type of postures and practices, how they work on the body-mind, how to sequence your practice, and how to set realistic and attainable goals. The aim is for you to have a home practice that is appropriate to your personal aims and needs, and do-able within the constraints of your daily life.


CREER UN PRATIQUE POUR VOUS, CHEZ VOUS

Si vous voulez créer ou raffiner un pratique de yoga pour faire seul(e) chez vous avant l’été, ce stage est pour vous ! Un atelier en français, et un atelier en anglais, nous travaillons sur les type ou genres des postures et pratiques, comment ils travaillent sur le corps-esprit, comment de mis en séquence, et comment de créer un pratique personnel qui vous convienne.

How Yoga Works (Scientific Research)

This article by Angela Wilson appeared in Yoga International, October 9, 2014

"We all know that yoga does a body (and a mind) good. But up until recently, no one could really say with any degree of certainty why — or even how — it improves conditions as varied as depression and anxiety, diabetes, chronic pain, and even epilepsy.



Now (2014) a group of researchers at Boston University School of Medicine believe they’ve discovered yoga’s secret. In an article published in the May 2012 issue of Medical Hypotheses journal under an impossibly long title, Chris Streeter, PhD, and his team hypothesize that yoga works by regulating the nervous system. And how does it do that? By increasing vagal tone—the body’s ability to successfully respond to stress.

The Study: The Effects of Yoga on the Autonomic Nervous System, Gamma-aminobutyric-acid, and Allostasis in Epilepsy, Depression, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

What Is Vagal Tone?
Most of us don’t even know we have a vagus that needs toning, but we most certainly do. The vagus nerve, the largest cranial nerve in the body, starts at the base of the skull and wanders throughout the whole body, influencing the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Often thought of as our “air traffic controller,” the vagus nerve helps to… read more

Video: low back pain basics

Take a look at Doc Mike Evans' video on basics of low back pain. It is simple, clear and comprehensive enough to be useful:

Yoga au Bureau: Les bienfaits

Les bienfaits sont nombreuse et le science et en train de les rattraper avec le recherche. Voici une interview d'Ann Moradian et le Yogist sur ce sujet:

Creating Your Own Practice

A workshop for Yoga practitioners wishing to continue their practice over the summer, at home or on vacation. We will go through the basics of what is needed for a well-balanced practice, with plenty of examples and ‘hands-on” experimentation. Each student will develop their own home practice, designed to suit their individual needs, abilities and interests, while working with the reality of their time and other constraints. Pre-registration is necessary for this workshop.

Ellora Caves

From extraordinarily ornate and elaborate Hindu temples….

With more private spaces, like this quiet and hidden temple to Shiva…

As well as Buddhist temples where you can hear sound, not echo but pour through the arc of the space like a living stream...

Quiet and simple spaces for the Buddhist monks to sleep

To study, to chant and to eat

A place to root and grow...
