Embodied Yoga with Mark Walsh

First Time visit of Mark Walsh to Amsterdam!
 
Embodied Yoga uses asana practice for deep personal insight and to build skills off the mat. It helps with these questions:
- What can yoga teach me about myself and how I live?
- What matters most to me and how can yoga benefit this?
- What personal qualities would I like to develop in my yoga practice?

Embodied yoga emphasises personal insight and transfer of skills to life – rather than athleticism – and incorporates elements of life coaching, body therapy, meditation dance and martial arts. Embodied yoga is politically aware and avoids both new-age superstition and Western body materialism. Embodied yoga can be emotionally intense as it’s a powerful tool for looking at your personal patterns and changing your life for the better, it’s also more social than most yoga and a lot of fun. In some ways it’s a very novel approach to yoga including things you won’t find anywhere else, though it’s also aligned with traditional yoga’s emphasis on developing the practitioner.

Come if:

- you’d like to learn more about yourself and develop as a person
- you think the body has wisdom
- you’re a yogi wishing to practice with a fresh perspective
- you’d like to shift skills from yoga into your life
- you’re a yoga teacher looking to get new techniques for helping clients*

NB – if you have current mental health issues, are suffering intense life stress or in some other emotionally vulnerable position please talk with us before signing up to see if the day is suitable at it can be quote intense.
“Embodied Yoga is a refreshing take on yoga as a method of self-enquiry and transformation. Highly effective for transforming your patterns of behaviour.” – Sindre, Oslo, Norway

“Being encouraged to notice how I approached practice, and how I related to others during the class reflected unhelpful patterns and stories that I recognised play out in my in my life outside the studio, and are limiting me. Powerfully insightful.” – Holly, hot yoga practitioner, Brighton, UK
