The word YOGA means to unite, to bring together and it also means to still and calm the fluctuations in consciousness. In this workshop, students get the opportunity to immerse in their personal body/mind/breath awareness to experience/explore how this trinity works together.
The body opens through a well-composed asana sequence; students explore the effects of the breath, inhalation, the pause and exhalation, with movement and in stillness and realize during this journey how the mind becomes quiet and serene.
In the Iyengar tradition, emphasis is on proper alignment, timing and sequencing; use of props, the therapeutic aspects and the yoga Sutras by Sri Patanjali.
Birgit Reimer teaches yoga in the lineage of her teachers, the Iyengar family and Ben Thomas. She is known for her compassion and care for the students.
