OneTaste Workshop IV – Contact Yoga

Want to join us TODAY for Contact Yoga! Walk-ups welcome.

This is guaranteed to be an amazing workshop, and a slight departure from what we normally offer our the OT crowd. No music, no spoken word! What?? Trust me, this is all part of it. I did a workshop with Sebastian in Thailand earlier on this year and it was like nothing I’d ever experienced in a Yoga class. Way more fun, challenging and interactive.

Imagine when you did superman flying as a kid with an adult holding you up in the air mixed with Capoeira movement, Kundalini principals and energy release techniques. It blew my mind and NO experience necessary I promise – Dannii x

Sebastian Bruno is only in London for two weeks as he tours internationally and managed to grab him for an exclusive London workshop in Contact Yoga. It’s a 3 hour class for the bargain price of £15, thanks for the Arts Council England.

What is Contact Yoga and what will we do at the workshop? Contact Yoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the kindness of Thai massage, the trust and surrender of contact improvisation and the playfulness of our hearts.

Together, as individuals and as a group, we create a space where we can connect and play.

Depending on individual needs, this workshop will contain the following:

*Circle Ceremony – time to get acquainted.

*Warm-up – a series of simple yoga postures for warming up the body.

*Partner Flow – physical contact is initiated between partners who either mirror or counter each other in asana.

*Inversions – one partner either spots or bases the other to assist them in achieving inverted postures.

*Flying – a flyer feels the actual sensation of free flight while supported solely by a base.

*Thai Massage – once the flying session is complete, the teacher guides a simple massage sequence so you can show thanks to your contact yoga partner.
