This Workshop series offers a deep dive into Hatha Yoga, linking the essential awareness of Pratyahara (the forgotten “ananga”) between the BODY and MIND practices. Where we open into the Asana and Pranayama pathways and fine tune the deepest intentions of sensory focus and regulation which enable Mindfulness and then Meditation.

The journey we undertake includes:

What distinguishes Geoff’s style of teaching is that you experience the depth of YOU. So while we may, or may not, do the fanciest poses in this session, it’s guaranteed that you’ll experience a depth which highlights the true nature of Yoga …intimacy with Self. The practice takes centre stage in this session.

Pratyahara – The Bridge

Pratyahara is an important awareness as we move from the external practices of Asana and pranayama to the internalised ones of Dharana and Dhyana, yet many people jump directly from breath to meditation. In this session Geoff explores the subtlety of Pratyahara and how the deep wisdom of this often overlooked practice is a vital ink between mind and body. Expect Asana, Pranayama and playful skills to learn how we explore this realm.

Pranayama – The Energy Pathway

The truest intention of Pranayama, as Breath Work, is to regulate the flow of energy within the body. Once regulated, our immune system, stress regulation and clarity of thoughts and actions become more harmonious. In this practice, we begin with basic Asana techniques to open our body to sit and then practice fine tuned Pranayama techniques. These allow us to observe energy blocks in our body and how we can use these practices to harmonise the mind and body.

Rather than reacting, this workshop series is guided to move towards a path ofh

INPUT -> AWARENESS -> RESPONSE
