Nourish your body, mind and soul - a weekend diving into deeply nurturing yoga practices, pranayama and Ayurveda

The workshops of this weekend are for everyone who wants to feel more resourced to deal with the everyday chaos of life.

The Program:

• Saturday June 1

Balancing Pranayama and Chandra Krama Yoga (Moon Sequence)Connect your body, mind and soul, feel calm instead of overwhelmed, release unnecessary attachments and refocus on what really matters to you.

Chandra Krama, or the Moon Sequence, is an alternative therapeutic Vinyasa Krama sequence accessible to students of all traditions, whether young or old, whether beginner or more seasoned yogi.This practice invites the release of unnecessary tension while fostering a deeper connection of body, soul and mind. The practice encourages the student to accept and honor what is instead of wanting to be or go somewhere, fostering a deep sense of peace.Chandra Krama emphasizes the hips, groin, lower spine and abdominals, which will feel positively awake after moving through this sequence. The practice takes pressure off the neck, shoulders and wrists.

Practicing Chandra Krama helps you to let go of holding on to a plan, of attaching to what does not serve you and instead moves you towards taking joy in what is, on and off the mat. This workshop begins with calming breathwork (pranayama). From there we transition into a gentle vinyasa flow, moving slowly deeper while bringing continuous awareness to the breath and inner sensations, relaxing and soothing the nervous system. This practice finishes with a series of nurturing restorative poses. You will leave the practice of Chandra Krama feeling deeply nourished in your physical, mental and energetic body.

Chandra Krama was developed by Matthew Sweeney. Maxi is one of the two teachers in the Netherlands authorized by Matthew to teach this practice.
