Session I: Inner Power: Bandha Master Class (All Levels)
Ipoh: 2nd August (Saturday) 9:30am-12:00pm
Kuala Lumpur: 9th August (Saturday)
9:30am-12:00pm
Bandhas are the inner body techniques which give lift and lightness to practice. They also prepare one for pranayama and profound energetic experiences. This class will define the three primary Bandhas, and apply the concept to other techniques which will transform your Asana and Pranayama practice. It will also prepare you to more easily find your balance in inversions, which will be the training of the afternoon session.
The training will include core muscle strengthening and intelligence increasing patterns for improving posture and then testing it in a variety of yoga poses. The result is an optimization of physical pressure in the abdominal and thoracic cavities which facilitates organ health and increases breath capacity, proprioceptive  awareness and balance enhancement by muscular integration. As the physical components of bandha are deep core muscles they are always “in alignment” and with training of bandha in Asana “pull” other muscle groups and joints into proper alignment.

Session II: Inversion Training: Sequences to Strength (Intermediate Level)
Ipoh: 2nd August (Saturday) 1:00pm-3:30pm
Kuala Lumpur: 9th August (Saturday) 1:00pm-3:30pm

Afterwards we will train sequences for increasing access to these incredible Asana and finally conclude with higher control practices which can be done flowing through or in different inversions include backbending inversions, dropovers, one arm handstand, lotus, transitions to arm balances, other flows. For those who are just beginning to access their inversion practice, options with props and wall will be instructed, and a lot of physical education is guaranteed!
