Workshops with Dechen Thurman

Planetary Chanting: Bhakti and Nada Yoga for Western Teachers
Learn to fully embody your mantra practice! This workshop includes exercises to warm up the voice emotionally and physically, internal meditations to link intention to inner vibration. A concise lecture regarding the distinctions between chanting, droning, singing and speaking mantras, and how to decide which is the most effective in your teaching environment. Skills in chanting empower the teacher to sculpt the spiritual atmosphere of the asana sequence, opening and closing the practice with flavor of divinity. A small text with key chants and bibliography will be provided.

Graha Pada : The Art of Assisting Yoga Postures via Gravity
To support a student in asana practice through physical contact is a very powerful method of transmitting your experience as a teacher, non verbally. This workshop will
cover preparation for physical contact, advice for assisting asanas, diagnostic methods
and cleansing practices to clear the teacher's body of unconscious influence. Use
gravity and your own body weight to guide your students through difficulty towards
serenity.

Lighten Up Your Inversions:
A dynamic asana practice infused with pranayama
with Jennifer Maagendans
Lighten and en-lighten yourself in this three hour dynamic asana and pranayama practice. Learn how restraining and setting free your life force, or prana, through breathwork, or pranayama, can prepare the body for inversions and direct your energy sources towards attaining enlightenment.

Prana flows in five different directions known as winds or vayus, and on a daily basis they flow in different directions, sometimes getting lost through the various openings or gates of the body. In yoga practices such as asana and pranayama, prana is controlled and the direction of the vayus is changed and/or reversed. Energy that normally would be lost or dissipated out of the body is harnessed and applied towards making the body more efficient, more lightweight, more balanced.

Join Jennifer’s inversion workshop for a little practice in levity and levitation!

Yoga Retreat in Aquitaine, France
with Jennifer Maagendans and Frances Vicente

Take a break from your daily routine and treat yourself to a special seven day Jivamukti retreat in Aquitaine, France. Be enchanted by the majestic beauty of the Chateau La Perroterie, a lovingly restored 14th century chateau situated atop a hill with 360 degree views of the most stunning countryside in the beautiful region of Lot & Garonne.

Each day will begin with an invigorating, inspiring and uplifting yoga practice with Jennifer Maagendans, enjoy leisure time exploring the magnificent countryside or relaxing by the pool and end off with a softer, meditative and reflective practice with Frances Vicente.

Vegetarian breakfast and dinner are included, leaving you lunch to explore as you please. All meals are fresh, home cooked and produced with ingredients from the local markets.

The comfortable oak-beamed bedrooms are both rustic and modern. The guesthouse is superbly located for touring and exploring; only 2 kilometres outside the medieval town of Duras with its shops, weekly market, cafes, bars and restaurants.

We hope you’ll join us for a week of deepening your practice, your understanding of Jivamukti yoga and your connection with your Self.
