THE WORKSHOP

Part One

July 19th - 1pm - 3pm

EMBODIED MOVEMENT

Gravity, Ground and Space

Part Two

July 20th - 1pm - 3pm

INTEGRATION

Prana, Breath & Mind

We begin with an exploration of how gravity can assist us in grounding our asana practice. Finding ground is foundational for releasing the spine and breath from habitual self contraction and opens the way for uncovering the natural self-organising dynamics of energy in the body. When our energy is grounded, open and clear, the subtler aspects of practice become available..

Pranayama is an intimate exploration of the subtle dynamics of our inner lives. We are not simply breathing with Pranayama practice, we are cultivating a refined capacity for feeling and an exquisite sensitivity to the responsive intelligence of life. When the spine and breath are free of habitual self contraction, so is the mind.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

" Paul is an unassuming, wise and practical yogi whose teachings changed my own practice and also how I teach. He taught me how to really "feel" my practice on all levels of my being. He taught me to be more authentic as a person and a teacher. He taught me a depth of yoga which I had neglected or didn't think was important. He didn't teach me alignment cues or fancy poses. He taught me how to be a yogi, by being a yogi himself. I highly recommend that all yogis should experience his teachings.

"It is always a joy when Paul Wooden runs a workshop at my yoga studio. He offers something unique that is not being shared in the yoga community, that of a deep presence, acceptance and awareness of our body, our movements, our energy and how we relate to the world around us. A workshop with Paul is like a full retreat. The participants feel rested, invigorated and enlightened, knowing more about themselves and more about yoga. I will welcome Paul back to teach any time he is in Australia."

He draws from his experience in many different styles and traditions and, through a practical understanding of their underlying unifying principles, weaves together a cohesive and integrated approach to yoga.

Working with Paul is an invitation to the deeper dimensions of practice. His particular way of working opens us to the sensitivity and receptivity necessary for the subtler inner practices.

Paul’s approach offers rich learning possibilities, whether students are beginners or highly experienced practitioners.

He complements studies of the wisdom traditions with a more contemporary understanding of the human condition including developmental psychology and integral theory and trauma work (somatic experiencing) which seeks to help uncover and release the binding patterns of trauma in the body.
