Join Chris Johns, one of Union Street Yoga’s original teachers, in a workshop that combines anatomically intelligent yoga with the uplifting energy of Jivamukti!!
Level 4 Yoga Synergy and 800hr Advanced Certified Jivamukti yoga teacher Chris will guide you through an uplifting and energising yoga experience with an upbeat soundtrack, signature Jivamukti hands-on assists, uplifting dharma focus and intelligent use of props. He will also workshop some key postures & transitions to deepen the practitioners understanding of the concepts involved.
This workshop will help your practice feel lighter and more fluid. Chris will use bandha’s to help achieve this, describe what they are and how to create bandas in postures *. This will also help you to be safe and supported in your yoga practice. Some yoga experience required for this workshop. It will be challenging, however variations will be given so you are able to work at your own individual level.
*Bandhas can be described as a lock / seal involving a specific contraction of muscles around a joint. They help direct energy (prana) through the body as well as providing stability and strength through the muscles and joints.
Please inform Chris beforehand of any relevant medical issues or injuries and any modifications that you will be making to your practice. Also if you prefer not to receive hands on assists during the practice please let Chris know before the workshop starts.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before start time to allow yourself sufficient time to check-in & set up for the workshop.
