AWAKEN

The second Quadrant of the 300 hours Pilamaya Soma TT

This course is currently a 60-hour offering – online format

 3-5th June + 29-31st July 2022

 

Awaken invites the participant to consciously claim their highest potential through experiential processes that focus on experiential process to work with the teenage energy.  The element that we embody is wood, the meridians are the liver and the gallbladder.  There are two somatic focuses, the course begins to sense into how the body moves forward in space – The Propelling Body.
The practitioner is invited to explore the relationship between movement and the nervous system, in particular, how rhythm and repetition create patterns that lead to ease of movement. We become aware that we belong to flow of life and start to direct our own dance. This naturally leads us to experience The Awakening Body, where the awareness of the body as a microcosmic representation of the entire Universe is downloaded.
AWAKEN
Participants will learn to use practices from Hatha Yoga and spontaneous movements; using our knowledge of how movement gives rise to neuroplasticity, we use rhythmic sequencing delivered with a somatic understanding to speed up the process of change. This is particularly useful for those who wish to deliver practices that are rooted in embodiment and scientific knowledge. Our exploration of the autonomic nervous system includes the stress response and explores how mind and body practice can be used to support internal stability.

The principles of this quadrant also create the foundation for trauma- informed approaches; we have a workshop on teaching for vulnerable people. Yoga teachers and therapist would benefit from learning how flow yoga and relaxation practices can be used to reduce the biological effects of the stress response and bring balance to the nervous system.
