🌿 Have You Ever Heard of THE YOGA MUSCLE❓

Yoga students often ask me, “How can I deepen my yoga practice?” While there are many answers, one of the most impactful is to awaken and reintegrate the PSOAS, also known as ‘the yoga muscle’. You may not have heard of the PSOAS, but it is one of the deepest and most essential muscles in the body. As a core postural muscle, it acts as the guidewire of the spine and is crucial for core stability. A healthy PSOAS is vital for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. However, finding, releasing, engaging, and integrating this muscle can be elusive. Awakening your PSOAS muscle will transform your yoga practice, connecting your body and enhancing your emotional balance.

Join Chris for a transformative 1-day workshop. Discover how to bring new freedom, ease, and structural integrity to your practice.

PSOAS is one of the longest muscles in the body and by far the most important component of our deep internal core. A healthy psoas is the key to both structural physical ability and our emotional health.

Other people are a MYSTERY, right? Why ARE other people so confusing? Even the people we love the most drive us mad sometimes. But what if there was a way to decode ALL human behaviour so that it FINALLY made perfect sense (even your own!!).

Sounds impossible right? Wrong.

It's not only possible, there is actually a MAP! Yes, that's right, the human personality is NOT random.

YOUR personality is not random.
Other people's personality is NOT random.
NOTHING in the Universe is random...

Numbers are the key. Numbers indicate patterns, and patterns ensure predictability. If you have the correct map all that seemed to be CHAOTIC becomes ORDER; the COMPLEX becomes SIMPLE; the UNKNOWABLE becomes KNOWN.

Are you curious, and want to know more?

🌀 3hr Yoga, Myofascial Release & Acupressure Workshop, w/ Yulia
www.exeteryoga.co.uk/workshops/rolling-in-the-deep-breath-edition/

Sunday June 23, 2024
📍 Exeter, UK

Breathwork has recently gained widespread recognition as a valuable practice. Techniques like breathwork and pranayama are commonly employed to enhance both physical and emotional resilience. Much like our bodies, our breathing habits can form patterns that may hinder our overall well-being. Optimal breathing relies on proper postural alignment, a tension-free diaphragm, a flexible rib cage, a responsive core, and an uncongested neck. This NEW workshop invites you to explore these crucial aspects of breath, encouraging a deeper dive into your breathing patterns through different myofascial release techniques, pranayama and bandha.

Combining Myofascial Meridians, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture Meridians, as well as Yoga of the Subtle Body, Rolling in the Deep workshops are designed to explore your unconscious ‘blind-spots’; unravelling common postural habits, symptoms of misuse, and how our “issues” are carried in our tissues, becoming postural patterns over time. From a yogic perspective, Prana (life-force energy), is imbedded in the fascia (the 3D web of connective tissue that holds everything together), so working with the fascial wrapping puts us into deeper relationship with more subtle aspects of our being.

Yulia synthesises her extensive experience and training as a Yoga Teacher, Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner and Anatomy Trains Structural Bodyworker, into this exclusive 3-hour workshop that is not to be missed!

WISDOM, DELUSION, CONSCIOUSNESS & THE DIVINE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN09qnHhPKA

If you have a few hours this conversation is an absolute treat for yogis who have an interest in seeing the link between physicality, psychology, spirituality and the philosophical foundations of yoga as 'union'.

Listen carefully for the Easter eggs of Sir Iain mentioning Atman and Brahman, Tao, Yin & Yang, the necessary tension between coincidental opposites, the entire background of why we exist, and how matter is actually just a phase of consciousness itself... It's truly wonderful.

As an interesting side note I find it amusing that pseudo-intellectual (and left-hemisphere dominant) grifters around the periphery of the yoga world (I'm looking at you Matthew Remski, Conspirituality et al) would have you believe that JP (and by extension this conversion) is pseudo-intellectual nonsense. This is a perfect example, as Iain so expertly outlines, of how the left-hemisphere grasps for certainly, universal morality and wants to cast 'goodies' and 'baddies'. Just as with the snake that eats its own tail, it leaves them embodying the very thing they were actually trying to fight against.

Happy listening.

🌿 Ashtanga Yoga
Foundations Weekend
w/ Chris Croft

📅 March 23-24, 2024
📍Exeter, UK

👉🏻 Exploring & Developing the Internal Foundations of Ashtanga Yoga

At the heart of Ashtanga Yoga practice is the dialogue between internal alignment (breath and bandha) and external postural alignment (asana). This is essentially what we are practicing (whether we realise it or not) each time we get on our yoga mat. Although the mind is normally scattered and the body feels disjointed and clumsy, when yoga poses are well-aligned, they can feel so good internally that the mind is practically stunned into awe! The key to achieve this is to integrate the two subtle internal patterns that govern inhaling and exhaling. These are called prana (upward spreading breath) and apana (downward contracting breath). By binding together these opposing forces (pranayama) we open up the central axis of the body, awakening a natural inner radiance and establishing a innate sense for ‘good’ alignment for our postures. This unifying internal practice is known as 'mula bandha', and is a keystone of hatha yoga practice.

This weekend workshop will practically explore and philosophically contextualise these foundational principles, transforming your practice of Ashtanga yoga.

Perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Ashtanga Yoga, from beginners curious about the foundations, to experienced practitioners seeking to deepen their practice.
