Saturday 2 October 2010 Surrey
The 3 Gunas and mental nature - practical ways to reach sattvic harmony BWY IST
For teachers and student yoga teachers
A practical hatha yoga day informed by the Ayurvedic Doshas (constitutions) of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and concerns self-healing. Includes personal constitution questionnaires to assess what types of yoga postures and approach to practice will most benefit you. Like tailoring clothes, the aim is to discover the yoga that suits us best. Expect to explore physical yoga postures suited to each type with an awareness of the interaction of the five elements - ether, air, fire, water and earth. The area of the body most at risk of disease will also be discussed for each type. Also breathing exercises, affirmation, meditation and relaxation. It will be fun as well as an enriching practice and understanding of how yoga and self healing interact. With handouts.

Workshops References

I found Anna to be well prepared with suitable activities and handouts. Her knowledge of the subject area was thorough and she presented it in an accessible and lively way. The session was practical and mainly focussed on yoga practice but with the added emphasis on Ayurveda even familiar practices revealed something new.

Although the session was not provided as INSET training there was plenty of food for thought for the teachers present which I am sure we have all taken forward into our understanding of students in our own classes. I would have every confidence in Anna being able to provide an interesting and full INSET day on this and other related subject areas she is planning to provide.

Students and teachers at the event reported on their satisfaction at the time and would have liked to have been asked to do an evaluation in order to put this satisfaction on record. We found Anna to be friendly and approachable. I would particularly like to commend her in relation to her kindness and support for the newer students in the group.
