18 NEWS SOUTH EAST SPRING 2013
The day will look at the anatomy of side bending and
rotation and their respective patterns of movement. The
contra-indications of these postures will be considered and
reviewed. The benefits of side bending and rotation will be
explained and we will look at how to develop the postures
in a progressive and logical fashion. The day will be a
mixture of theory interspersed with side bending and
twisting postures.
Peter Blackaby has been a student of yoga for over 30
years and teaching for over 20 years, originally as an
Iyengar teacher. His subsequent studies in osteopathy and
meetings with other yoga teachers led him to change his
direction, pursuing a more bio-mechanically friendly
approach to asana work. Recently this has developed into
a broader ‘humanistic’ perspective, with the intention of
making yoga more accessible to the Western mind by
grounding the physical, physiological, and psychological
effects of yoga practice in a rational context.
Join Beverley on this explorative pranayama journey which
will include mudras and bandhas as well as asana. Make
it easier for your students to understand this relationship
with breath.
Students will acquire or refine their knowledge of the
material anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system,
and three subtle anatomy systems; practise a sequence
of postures suitable for preparing the body for pranayama
practice; deepen their knowledge of the pranic model of
anatomy, specifically the prana vayus and associated
hasta mudras; and understand the relationship between
the prana vayus and the body systems together with
associated common conditions.
Beverley is a practitioner of yoga, movement and
bodywork. She is a registered somatic movement
therapist/educator as well as teacher and assessor for
CamYoga. Beverley considers Judith Hanson Lasater and
Richard Rosen to be significant teaching influences.
