INTRODUCTION TO YOGA THERAPY

OCTOBER 4 – 6 / 2019

INSPIRATIONAL YOGA , ANTWERP, BELGIUM

Friday evening: 7 – 9pm

RESTORATIVE YOGA FOR STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

by  MONIKA MUNZINGER

When practicing restorative yoga, we stretch and relax specific areas in the body which we support by using props. We stay in a pose for a longer time – completely supported. This way it is easy to let go and the body as well as the mind can find deep rest. All bodily systems are addressed and a renewal  on the physical, psychological and mental level take place.

In this workshop you will learn:

How to apply anatomy to restorative yoga poses

How to practice and prop to increase the functions of the immune system

How to position the body for a deeper relaxation

 

Saturday morning: 10am – 1pm  

YOGA FOR A HEALTHY SPINE

by  MONIKA MUNZINGER

Our modern lifestyle means that we are sitting for hours at desks, over laptops, cell phones and driving the car. We are physically quite inactive. This is not good for our posture and the result is that the upper back starts leaning forward which then creates pain. The muscles get weak, the spine collapses on itself, gets compressed and loses its mobility.  These muscular imbalances need to be addressed because they can cause restrictions in the hips, shoulders and the spine.

In this introductory workshop you will learn:

How to bring the spine into an upright and effortless posture through spinal extension

How to reduce lower back pain

How to create symmetry and balance to opposing muscles when the pelvis is tilted

How to relax the lower back through restorative yoga

 

Saturday afternoon: 2 – 4pm                              

DEPRESSION VERSUS BURN-OUT

by  EVE MINTIENS

Sunday morning: 9 – 11am

ANATOMY APPLIED TO YOGA PRACTICE

In this introductory workshop Monika will focus on how to move and position hands, arms and shoulders to avoid injuries and to retrieve optimal benefits from a yoga practice. The delicate balance of flexibility and strength can so easily be upset and get the shoulder joint into trouble. This can happen especially during strong weight bearing postures, but also by moving the arm incorrectly.

In this introductory workshop you will learn:

How to stabilize the shoulder girdle muscles for inversion

How to move the shoulders and arms in overhead positions to avoid injuries

How to relate shoulder stability with core strength

 

Sunday noon:     12 – 2pm                          

YOGA FOR THE SOUL

by MONIKA MUNZINGER

A yoga practitioner can go through various stages on her journey as described in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. Quietening the mind and letting go of physical and mental activities is a process that can  be achieved by every yoga practitioner. A sense of inner peace, centeredness and contentment will be experienced from within.

In this workshop you will practice:

Yoga philosophy put into practice

Deep Relaxation (yoga nidra)

Meditation

BENEFITS OF INVERSION WORKSHOP    

MAY 10 -12 / 2019

INSPIRATIONAL YOGA , ANTWERP, BELGIUM

GREAT WORKSHOP FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

In this profound workshop you will get a deeper insight on the benefits of yoga inversions. Practicing inverted is special and different from other physical disciplines, because it allows you to see things from an alternate perspective. Unlike many poses, when standing inverted on your head or on your shoulders, you are being still and become very present in the moment. Inversions stimulate the immune and endocrine systems, thereby invigorating and nourishing the brain and organs. When done correctly, inversions also release tension in the neck and spine.

Monika will teach you how everyone can practice inversion and derive benefits from it. Insights on anatomy and physiology will be given, as well as methods and techniques of how to adapt for individual needs.

YOU WILL LEARN

to practice inversions and their variations

to correctly setup and align poses

to use and arrange props, like ropes, chair, blankets and others

to apply anatomy and physiological principles

to practice inversions actively and passively

to modify for individual needs

Friday evening: 2.5 hrs  19h00-21h30
