Hip-openers are arguably the most popular category of yoga poses. The goal of this workshop is to give you both cerebral knowledge and the mind-body awareness to precisely and safely create the pose that is right for your body, rather than settling for one-size-fits-all generic cues. The first part of the workshop will be presentation-style combining biomechanics and experiential anatomy. hen we will put these principles in place in a fluid-vinyasa flow practice so you can feel the joy of these principles in your asanas. Expect to learn unique Blissology principles from Eoin‘s new book, Yoga Optimized such as DUO, Dynamic Unifying Opposition. You will leave this workshop with a whole new toolkit to balance the tension and compression in our hip joints and spine to make our bodies function optimally now and well into old age. Of course, when we feel good, we spread good. Come explore the gifts of this modern approach to the ancient practice we all love.
Limited capacity: 40 persons.

Workshop with Mélanie Jolicoeur on Ayurveda, self-healing and conscious breathing offers a holistic approach to well-being. Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, balances the doshas (body energies) through diet, herbs and lifestyle routines. Self-healing encourages personal responsibility for your health, using techniques like yoga, meditation and listening to your body. Conscious breathing, or pranayama, modulates vital energy through specific breathing exercises, promoting relaxation, concentration and overall health. This workshop integrates these practices to harmonize body and mind, thus improving the quality of life of participants.

Discover exclusively, for the first time in Canada, the Yoga of Energy transmitted by the luminous Solange who came specially from France to offer us this precious and transformative teaching. Coming from Tibetan traditions, this Yoga allows the release of the Force of Energy - Life, through the body through fluid movements, through the psyche through the progressive letting go of the mind, through what we are on the plane the most subtle of the Diamond, through a deployment of Self.
Very different and less sporty than Vinyasa, it is a Yoga of movements, concentrations and meditations, it is a Yoga of Energy-Life.
Each movement can become a spontaneous expression of Energy through the body, breathing amplifies naturally, we can speak of an energetic consciousness in movement.
On the mental level, an interior state of openness is established which allows one to be receptive to sensation, to the perception of energy; this presence of sensation accompanies a progressive mental calm, then a disinterest in ordinary mental drift.
The progressive development of the quality of our listening allows more subtle perceptions revealing deep within oneself the Light, the Peace, the Joy which are found there beyond all coverings.
