Core - abdominal belt yoga workshop
Sunday the 14th of April 2023 - 13:00-16:00
Your Core - includes your quads, gluts, all the muscles in your hips, abdominals, obliques, and the muscles that run up and down your spine.
You want to see your body and mind changing?
There’s a great variety of core strengthening that we do in yoga poses. It comes from supporting the weight of the body in various orientations to gravity. Focusing yoga movements around the core is going to reinforce a huge variety of muscle groups, according to how gravity is pulling on the body parts. That is how a lot of abdominal power happens in yoga, without even being aware of it.
In Yoga, the navel point is the center from where a human draws power and strength. In ancient texts, it states that "all yoga starts in the Navel Point". The navel point is an important center of energy transformation; it is the place where prana (the life force, upward movement) and apana (eliminating force, downward movement) meet and it is the center where all 72000 nadis (energy channels) start from.
Scientists recently have begun to call the solar plexus the 'second brain' of the body. Serotonin, the neurotransmitter that is been found to be lacking in many people who suffer from depression, is largely found in the intestinal tract! Our metabolism, digestion, growth, and healing all take place in the network of nerve plexus' below the waist.
The physical core system consists of our abdominals, lower back and our pelvis. By strengthening our core on the physical level, we give our body and skeleton good support. Our bones are protected, our circulation becomes better and our nervous system stronger and relaxed.
Physical Benefits of Core Strengthening:
1.Strong Core Reduces Back Pain
Abdominals are important for protecting the back but they are just a part of what makes up the core. Weak core muscles result in a loss of the proper lumbar curve, a swayback posture and are linked to lower back pain. Stronger core muscles help maintain balanced posture and reduce strain on the spine.
2. Strong Core Improves Athletic Performance
All powerful movements originate from the center of the body, and never from the limbs alone. Before any powerful, rapid muscle contractions can occur in the extremities, the spine must be solid and stable and the more stable the core, the most powerful the limbs can contract.
3. Strong Core Improves Postural Imbalances
Postural imbalances can lead to injuries. The biggest benefit of core strengthening is to develop the type of exercise that is essential to daily living and regular activities.
On a mental/emotional level there is an overall feeling of well being, better self-esteem, confidence, courage and a deeper ability to meditate and transform. By strengthening our navel, our willpower becomes stronger.
On a spiritual level, the energy of our navel creates fire in our belly which will awaken Kundalini that sleeps dormant at the base of our spine. When this energy is awakened, we reach our full potential, all our talents are awakened and we become finally aware.
In most types of Yoga, strengthening the navel centre is the foundation on which we build upon. By doing that, we create potent energy that can cut through the blocks and can reach our heart and higher centers. We also create a strong body that is able to contain such energy. In contrast, a weak navel reflects a fatigued body, anxious mind, and restless spirit.
Meditation through deep guided conscious relaxation - Yoga Nidra session is added to purify the mind.
The workshops are for ALL LEVELS yoga practitioners. For beginning and less advanced students I’ll demonstrate modified postures.
Please note: as in this workshop we will do a lot of twists and forward bends, I advise you to not attend this workshop when you are pregnant.
For general guidance on how to prepare yourself for the work-shop:
•Make sure you attend the workshop on a fairly empty stomach. Give yourself ample digestion time after eating, at least 1.5-2 hours, and also eat something light.
•Have a yoga mat, a small bottle of water, a beach towel, and something warm like a light shawl/blanket/sweater (to keep you warm during meditation, Yoga Nidra - guided conscious deep relaxation).
Price: 40€

Looking forward to see your smiling faces :-)
