In this workshop we will be unrevealing the mystery of ‘bandhas’. What do they mean, what are they good for and most importantly how can and do we use them in our yoga practice and maybe even daily lives?

The intelligent use and understanding of bandhas, pranayama, and pratyhara form a foundational part of many traditional yoga practices and open the pathway for flow.
Bandhas are often described as internal energy valves, connection points, or gates, which when activated help the energy to flow through the body, allowing us to connect deeper into asanas, to our spine shushumna and the energy centres through which it runs.
We will explore anatomical and physical movement and engagement of our bandhas and take a closer look at their energetic effects.
Expect background information, a strong Pranayama and kriya practice and binding exercises to finally be combined in a strong vinyasa flow practice and some fun with more advanced postures, accessed through the use of our bandhas.

Some experience is recommended but not necessary.

Bio:
Since her foundational 200 RYT training in the Ashtanga Primary Series and the 'flying' Rocket Yoga 1 and 1.5, Anina is continuously advancing her anatomical, physiological, spiritual and psychological knowledge and awareness.
Anina is now teaching a hybrid of her learnings: A mindfully flowing, alignment based vinyasa class with a particular focus on the spine - sushumna - as our lifeline. Her classes aim to balance yin and yang and internal energies which often get shaken up throughout our hectic day-to-day lives. Students can find an hour or two of calm, through breath, movement and stillness.
With a sequenced warm up, a series of standing postures and core work, Anina aims to built students’ bodily awareness by incorporating techniques of breath and bandhas in a flowing practice.
