We will explore the Eight Limbs to see how these valuable tools can facilitate positive change when used appropriately and support us in our teaching and our lives. The key texts used will be The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and The Yogarahasya of Nathamuni. There will be plenty of opportunity for practice as well as some lively and interesting discussions.

EVENTS IN SUSSEX Kinaesthetic Sense with Gary Carter BWY SE Region IST Day 10 November 2013 Ashington Community Centre RH20 3PG 10:00 – 16:00 BWY members £25; non-members £40 Organiser: Rachel Claridge Gary is committed to teach, train and encourage body awareness, ease of movement and efficient use, which can bring about a renewed sense of vitality through daily life. The aims of this day are to educate and explain the anatomical workings of kinaesthetic sense; to relate the effect this has on asanas, pranayama; to look at the relationship of kinaesthetic sense and movement of body and breath; and to explain how the kinaesthetic sense works from the surface to the core of our being and its effect on posture work. The intended learning outcomes are an anatomical understanding of the kinaesthetic sense; an understanding of how this sense interfaces with yoga practices; an experience of where the body is in space and in relation to gravity; a deeper sense of kinaesthetic awareness from the core of our being; and a ‘tuning in’ to the subtleties of posture and movement with the kinaesthetic sense. A block to sit on may be appropriate for the short talks throughout the day. Creating our Foundations with Lesley Charters BWY SE Region General Day 6 December 2013 The Billingshurst Centre RH14 9QW SatNavs: RH14 9EW 10:00 – 16:00 BWY members £25; non-members £40 Organiser: Rachel Claridge The focus for this day is how an awareness of the feet and ankles in yoga postures affects the rest of the body. In the morning we will look at a skeleton to see the structure of the bones and shapes of the arches of the feet and then explore in the asanas how the arches support the rest of the body. In the afternoon we will look at some of the muscles of the lower leg and how these connect the feet and legs to the spine. We will explore this connection in sitting postures and look at the effect on breathing and the emotions. Lesley Charters has been practicing yoga since 2000 and teaching since 2007, when she completed the Teachers Awareness Programme with the Inner Yoga Trust. Lesley qualified as a Foundation Course Tutor with the IYT in 2011 and teaches foundation courses in Hampshire, focusing on anatomy and how it relates to the postures. Lesley is also training to teach the IYT Diploma Teachers Awareness Programme. NEWS SOUTH EAST SUMMER 2013 27
