<strong>Region</strong>al AGM ‘13<br />
This year’s SE <strong>Region</strong>al AGM and <strong>Yoga</strong> Day will be held at Oaken Hall, Ditton<br />
Community Centre, Ditton, Aylesford, Kent ME20 6AH, from 10:00 to 16:00 on<br />
5 October <strong>2013</strong>. <strong>The</strong> day is open to all SE <strong>Region</strong> members.<br />
Yin & Yang <strong>Yoga</strong><br />
Our tutor for the AGM workshop this year will be Simon<br />
Low, who has been teaching yoga for over 20 years. He<br />
was the original director and a co-founder <strong>of</strong> Triyoga, the<br />
UK’s most popular yoga studios. As principal <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Yoga</strong><br />
Academy, Simon now leads yoga teacher trainings,<br />
workshops and holidays internationally throughout the<br />
year. His friendly, focused and fun classes incorporate his<br />
interpretation <strong>of</strong> Yin and Yang yoga, a practice enriched<br />
with detailed teachings on anatomy, philosophy,<br />
psychology, and Chinese and energy medicine.<br />
Simon will <strong>of</strong>fer us a complete, balanced, led-practice workshop where both Yin<br />
(focusing on lunar, feminine, passive, deep, restorative, meditative practices) and<br />
Yang (focusing on solar, masculine, strengthening, fluid dynamic movement) are<br />
honoured equally. Within the ‘dance’ <strong>of</strong> these complementary opposites we<br />
discover a more complete, holistic yoga practice.<br />
In the Yang practice, circles, spirals and energy awareness will be infused<br />
alongside attention to precision <strong>of</strong> alignment, <strong>of</strong>ten revisiting classical alignment<br />
with fresh enquiry. Within the Yin practice, the calming ‘restorative’ and gentle<br />
meditative asana will be balanced by deep Taoist yoga-inspired work into the<br />
primary joints <strong>of</strong> the torso, connective tissue <strong>of</strong> ligaments and tendons, my<strong>of</strong>ascial<br />
trains and energy meridians. Both sessions will also explore a fresh approach to<br />
core awareness and integrity. With breath and mental focus we cultivate<br />
‘movement within stillness’ and ‘stillness within movement’.<br />
Please bring your yoga mat, bolsters (the more the merrier), foam blocks, strap,<br />
hand towel, blanket(s), a light lunch and a mug for hot drinks. Wear layered clothing<br />
to ensure you do not get cold.<br />
