As part of the Yoga Arava 2018 event, you’re invited to join Pepe and Alit in a journey of movement, stillness and healing sounds, in which we’ll cultivate and experience states of inner harmony through the integration and awareness of our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual centers.
About the Workshop
Inspired by the Ashtanga method, we’ll practice a dynamic yoga flow, alongside live music and in silence.
We’ll experience meditation in motion, sitting, and lying down. In the magical and peaceful desert, at the amazing venue of Timna Park, we’ll let the vibrations of the sound access the center of our being, and explore the connection and influence of the environment on our inner being, specifically food, air, and impressions.
We’ll do so by
- practicing yoga flows, where breath and movement are in synch
- observing how the vibration of LIVE sounds effect our state of mind
- aligning our mind through Pranayama and Zen practices
- opening our hearts through mantra chanting
- Sound Healing – while lying down, we’ll experience magical sounds and healing vibrations by unique instruments from all over the world.
- discussing the mechanism of our mind and how the way we take in the world, in terms of food, perception and the people around us, can support stillness and peace or stress and confusion.
May this experience help us to better move through our daily routines and lives, from the inner harmony observed and realized in our practices.
“Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.”
― G.I. Gurdjieff
Big bonus to the participants of our workshop – the big event of the weekend, where all participants in all workshops around the Arava gather, will take place at Timna, just where our workshop is. So with no effort or need to leave this heavenly place, we’ll meet yoga practitioners and musicians, practice, enjoy performances, and when we need rest, simply walk to our rooms!
The workshop is suitable for all levels of experience and physical capabilities.
Should there be a need the workshop will be conducted in both English and Hebrew.
