Gentle Fascial Yoga
3 weeks of Yoga with Martin Gebhardt (Germany)
Thursdays 6-7pm
This practice is a subtle, yielding and relaxing modern yoga style.
The focus is on body perception, realizing your own limitations and using movement as a vehicle to address the facial system, other deep tissue and the nervous system.
This helps you to improve your consciousness and to reconnect body and mind.
The classes focus on the needs and abilities of the students. Regaining and improving your intuition and trust in your body perception is the fundamental aspect of the practice. It enables everyone to practice on their own terms. Even if you have chronic pain there is always a way to move your body. The last and most crucial component is breathing. Through a lack of consciousness and distress the body can manifest restrictive breathing patterns that can lead to serious diseases both mentally and physically. If you improve the way you breath you reduce your stress levels , it helps you to solve limiting beliefs and you get a simple yet powerful tool to connect with yourself. Breathing is the baseline for a conscious and healthy lifestyle.
The benefits of this practice are:
- better self awareness
- reduced physical and emotional stress
- more mobility and movement control
- Improved way of breathing and the break up of dysfunctional breathing patterns.
- decrease in muscular imbalances
