Spine Alive – Yoga Workshop with Helen Noakes 29.11.–1.12.2024

Spine Alive 29.11.–1.12.2024 – Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Workshop with Helen Noakes (UK)

Helen on joogaopettajien ja kehotyöskentelyn opettajien opettaja Intiassa ja ympäri Eurooppaa. Helen on saanut inspiraationsa Vanda Scaravellin opetuksista ja hänen oppilaansa Elizabeth Paunczin mentoroinnista. Helen tarjoaa myös koulutuksia Chavutti Thirumalissa, jolla on vahva vaikutus hänen opetustyyliinsä. Hän on intohimoinen spontaaniin, intuitiiviseen liikkeeseen aaltojen ja spiraalien muodossa ja sisällyttää opetukseensa rakkautensa somaattiseen kehotyöskentelyyn, improvisoituun Gaga-tanssiin ja Feldenkrais-metodiin.

Helenin tavoitteena on kutsua olemisen keveyttä ja iloa liikeharjoitteluumme ja kannustaa kuuntelemaan ja vastaamaan intuitioonsa turvallisesti ja tietoisesti. Vanda Scaravellin inspiroima jooga ei sisällä menetelmiä tai ennalta-asetettuja koreografioita. Tämä lähestymistapa rohkaisee harjoittajaa luomaan vahvan suhteen maahan, hengitykseen ja selkärangan herättämiseen. 

Helen Noakes on vierailemassa Helsingissä syyskuussa! Perjantaina intensiivi-workshop joogaopettajille, joogaopeksi opiskeleville ja muille joogaintoilijoille. Viikonlopun kurssi kaikille joogeille, niin vasta-alkajille kuin pitkään harjoittaneille. Rakkaudella tervetuloa mukaan kehoymmärryksen ammattilaisen, inspiroivan, syvän ja hauskan Helenin kurssille.

FRIDAY 29.11. JOURNEY TO EXPLORING INVERSIONS

Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Training Group Gathering with Helen Noakes and Meri Mort

We’re gonna embrace movement and gestures in the form of accessible inversions. We will indulge ourselves in a joyful journey towards the upside down world. We will slowly travel to these light and energising postures, embracing a story by allowing a space for the spine to generate length and rest in its natural position, even when inverted. The beauty of this session will be that you will have TIME to allow the body to be engaged in lightness whilst nothing in the body is fighting back. Our body can open to its own rhythmic activity with no part bracing or forcing. The expansion of our feet and hands are the key to having a SPINE THAT’S ALIVE. This is dynamic and powerful work of unwinding and dropping into passive dynamic movement. Get ready for an empowering and delicious uplifting experience with a unique opportunity to engage in deeply energising postures.

Key words: Spacial awareness, somatic journeying, Vanda’s inspiration via her teacher Elizabeth Pauncz, energy efficiency, new horizons, safety and courage.

This is a creative and enriching session, where we will commune with people who share a passion for somatic and embodied movement. There will be a beautiful space held for deep sharing and encouragement to allow the development of inner creativity and alchemy to birth itself. 

(One day gathering is an 8 h (+2 h homework) training day whenever Helen visits Helsinki. If you are a yoga teacher, you will receive on each session 10 training hours which will in time lead to a 50 h YTT certified training diploma).

Time: 9–18

SATURDAY 30.11. NATURE OF HORMONES

Our Hormones play a very strong and powerful role, not only in our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health throughout our whole life, they  can also be activated and nurtured through embracing deep breathing exercises and dynamic movements. You will walk away with a simple sequence that can be practiced alone or with a partner to not only empower your health but also keep your body vital and enlightened. We will end the session with a sound resonance and journey through our organs and with particular focus on the adrenals, reproductive system and our superficial fascia, the outer covering of our body. This will be deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. ANYBODY CAN JOIN THE WEEKEND SESSIONS. EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

Time: 10–17

SUNDAY 1.12. NATURE OF THE CORE 

The Core is a huge subject, debated constantly and there are many wonderful interpretations offered to us as science continually unfolds the mysteries around our understanding of the miraculous body. We will explore certain areas of the body where we can tap into our deeper tissues, and get to feel the original core, which is the spine. Through creating a deep relation with our feet and gravity we can access our depths of softness whilst accessing an outrageous strength and natural breath. Come be surprised as you may discover new pathways into yoga postures and gain deep insights and empowerment. You will feel deep love for the miracle of who you are and we will celebrate this together. ANYONE AT ANY AGE IS WELCOME TO JOIN .

Time: 10–17
