The INTEGRATION Module
The yogaclasses in this course are suitable for any yoga student, even absolute beginners. This module recapitulates the ground covered in the Dynamic and Method modules in the first two sessions, and can therefore also be used as an introduction.
The Integration module is the most challenging of the Foundation Course in terms of physical capacity, but the least challenging psychologically. It explores the application of the bandhas in the whole of the body: mulabandha, uddyanabandha, merubandha, hastabandha, padabandha. The Integration Course is a good place to start for those used to a strong physical practice.
The Integration Course can fruitfully be repeated any number of times; not only because its exact presentation is determined by the students participating in it and is therefore different each time, but also because repetition is the essence of learning. The postures used in the Vinyasaxikitysa Training Series are those best suited to clarify and apply the internal dynamics of the bandhas that is the heart of the yoga method.
All morning classes include guided pranayama and meditation practice. In the rare instance that the postures being used are unhelpful to any student, individualised instruction is given. All our yoga retreat classes are given within the fertilising context of patanjali’s ashtanga yoga, and link yoga postures together into a vinyasa flow of dynamic yoga practice ending with stillness in savasana and sitting, thereby balancing the 'yin' and 'yang' elements of traditional hatha yoga. All morning classes include guided pranayama and meditation.
