Week 24

Yoga Special: Pratyahara – an introduction | 19 October

The principle of Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) is one of the eight limbs of Yoga. It is at the root of asanas (physical postures) as well as Dhyana (Meditation).

Practicing physical postures or meditation with a deeper understanding of Pratyahara will make your yoga practice (more) wholesome. Including Pratyahara will increase the quality of your concentration, focus, relaxation, clarity and calmness.

During this Yoga Special, you will be guided into three or four restorative yoga poses to help the body to physically relax and release. The second part of the workshop will be a Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep”) is a guided, deep relaxation and meditation practice. At the end of the afternoon, you will have an understanding of Pratyahara and will be able to apply it in your yoga practice ánd in daily life. Reserve your spot via the schedule.

  • Date and time: Saturday 12 October 15:00 – 17:00
  • Location: USC Body & Mind
  • Teacher: Guandalina
  • What to bring: a comfortable sweater and socks
