Yin Yoga Immersion - Practice & Theory - Language: French 🇫🇷
Come and join us for this exceptional immersion
We look forward to meeting you at Studio Prana Yoga to share our teachings on 3 different themes. This program will give an overview of our teachings in their mechanical, energetic and psychological dimensions, with a question and answer period for each presentation.
1 class - Friday: Yin Yoga for the Spine Anatomy & Functional Approach
1 workshop - Saturday: The Tao of Yoga and TCM.
1 workshop - Sunday: Yin Yoga Philosophy & Meditation.
The aim of this immersion weekend is to link the practice of yoga with an approach based on the three bodies (3 Shariras): physical, astral and causal.
We'll start with an anatomical and functional description of the physical body for the Friday evening class.
On Saturday, we move on to the emotional body and the concept of Qi/Prana - through the ancient Chinese energy arts. We'll explore the concept of Qi and the meridians which, according to the various texts, form bridges between the different bodies.
On Sunday, we'll complete our immersion in psychology by exploring the term "Citta", defined by Sri Patanjali in the yoga sutras as the field of perception. On this day, we'll have two practices focusing on meditation and two presentations on the relationship between consciousness and the mind-body complex.

Theory - Understanding the flow and formation of Qi
What is Qi? Often translated as vital energy, Qi was considered in ancient civilizations as an entity endowed with an intelligence of its own. This concept has encompassed most civilizations under different names such as: KI in Japan, Prana in India, KA in Egypt, Pneuma in Greece or Materia incorporea for the Christian Mystics.
Let's take a look together and explore the mysterious concept of Qi.

2nd session - Theory - Modern meridian theory
