Qi Yo Multi Yoga Workshop

Qi yo multi yoga is a wonderful blend of traditional indian yoga, qi gong, tai chi, body mind centering and ancient balinese healing tools. The class opens with a brief alignment-visualization exercise intended to bring the focus inwards into the subtle sheaths of the body. A soothing “pranayama” (breath-extension) exercise follows, enabling students to purify nerve channels, open meridians and shift focus from the physical to the energetic body. The practice unfolds into a flow based sequence of postures and teaches students to integrate rhythmic breathing with conscious movement. The asana routine enhances glandular stimulation, promotes flexibility and reduces stress. A combined chanting and meditation closes the session allowing each practitioner to unleash the body’s wisdom, awakening subtle awareness, balance and inner peace.

Qiyo is practised on an oval mat considered to be one of nature’s most perfect and ubiquitous designs, the egg has been called “divine geometry” in nearly every ancient civilization and through to modern times. This shape resonates with the energy of life which liberates and stimulates movement. You will be able to experience practicing on an egg – shaped mat during this workshop.
