Weekend with Emma Henry

September 18+ 19 , Peace Yoga Berlin, EisenbahnstraßeEarly Bird for the whole weekend: 88€ (until August 4th)

Emma Henry comes to Berlin for two days. Two MasterClasses, two themes, one weekend.

Emma has been teaching for over 25 years. She began in the mid 90s in Mysore, studying Ashtanga with Pattabhi Jois. It was in New York that she found Jivamukti, learning directly from Sharon Gannon and David Life. Today she is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Teacher and a facilitator of the Jivamukti 300 Hour Teacher Trainings.She is one of the most experienced Jivamukti Yoga teachers worldwide. She was Director of Yoga at triyoga London and now teaches at Love Supreme Projects in London, alongside retreats, workshops and trainings all over the world.Emma comes from dance, and you will feel it it in her classes. Her sequencing builds, her playlists carry the room, her understanding of anatomy and alignment is precise. She has worked on film productions including The Legend of Tarzan and Cats, alongside choreographer Wayne McGregor.And her playlists are widely known, so you can expect a perfect mix of heartfilled bhakti, clarity and precision as well as physically transforming asana sequences.She is also a dear friend. We have known each other for many years through the Jivamukti family, and it means a lot to me that she is teaching here.

Heart Wide Open: Strength, Space and Freedom

Backbends open the body where daily life closes it. The shoulders, the whole front of the torso, the hips. Anyone who sits a lot, carries a lot, holds a lot, knows that pull forward.

Emma takes these two hours to build warmth, strength and space before the deeper backbends arrive. You will learn where mobility comes from and how strength in the back holds it. Along with philosophy, music and chanting, as in every Jivamukti class.

Backbends work beyond the body. They wake you up, sometimes they soften you. Bringing the heart forward asks for trust.

120 minutes. Open Level.

Fear Less: Building Confidence Upside Down

Inversions are rarely a question of strength. They are a question of the mind. The moment the feet leave the floor is the moment most of us stop.

Emma takes two hours for the way there. Preparing the shoulders, finding the midline, balancing at the wall, learning how to fall. You work from wherever you are right now, whether that is Sirsasana, Pincha or the first hop into handstand.

The day before is the best preparation there is. What Emma opens on Friday in the shoulders and upper back is what you need over your head on Saturday.

120 minutes. Open Level.Who this is for?

Open Level means Open Level. You need no deep backbend and no free handstand to join. Emma has spent 25 years teaching people in every condition, from athletes to students in treatment, and she offers variations for every entry point in both classes. If you practise Open Classes regularly, you belong here.
