jóga pro golfisty / yoga for golfers

zvu vás na další sérii kurzů jógy pro golfisty v překrásném prostředí YARD RESORTu v předboji.

golf je velmi krásný, velmi noblesní a velmi sofistikovaný sport. vyžaduje sílu, pružnost, pohotovost, stabilitu, soustředění a jasnou mysl.

v pěti dvouhodinových lekcích se naučíte, jak posílit svaly středu těla (optimalizuje a zpřesňuje pohyb, přináší větší stabilitu a pohotovost, snižuje riziko zranění), dosáhnout větší rovnováhy (cílenější ovládání hole, lepší rozložení váhy těla), zlepšit dýchání (ovlivňuje mj. zásadně tempo švihu a výdrž) a zvýšit koncentraci a rovnováhu mysli.


všechny podrobnosti najdete v letáčku a na webových stránkách YARD RESORTU předboj.

pokud chcete zlepšit svou kondici, najít rovnováhu mezi silou a pružností a zklidnit svou mysl k tomu nejlepšímu odpalu vašeho života ;), může vám být tento kurz inspirací. každopádně máte možnost potkat se s podobně naladěnými lidmi, strávit čas v krásném, harmonickém prostředí, které na vás dýchne pocit klidu a plynutí v přirozeném rytmu přírody, naučit se používat golfové hole ještě úplně jinak a zasmát se od plic a ze srdce (což děláme často :)

těším se koncem ledna v předboji!

jóga a ajurvéda - podzimní série seminářů / yoga & ayurveda workshops /

praktikujete jógu a cítíte, že její přínos by pro vás byl ještě větší, kdybyste ji podpořili i dalšími změnami ve svém životě?

zajímáte se o ajurvédu, ale nemáte žádnou pevnou praxi, kterou byste každodenně podpořili to, čím vám ajurvéda prospívá?

zajímáte se o obojí, ale narážíte na nespojité a vzájemně si odporující informace, které vás pouze matou?

zcela jedinečná a nesmírně inspirativní dr. martina zisková a moje jógymilovná maličkost vás jasnou a poutavou formou seznámíme s pojímáním a prožíváním života podle jógy a ajurvédy.

v pěti praktických a interaktivních seminářích vám jógu a ajurvédu zprostředkujeme jako úzce propojené disciplíny. dozvíte se základní principy ajurvédy a jógy a jak je používat. společně se budeme se věnovat stravování, bylinám, očistným technikám, ajurvédským a jogínským praktikám, životnímu stylu a rytmu a přístupu k životu vůbec. vedle obecných zásad se semináře zaměří i na jednotlivé konstituční typy. na závěrečném, integračním setkání si vyzkoušíte, jak nové poznatky a zážitky přenášet do každodenního života.

účastníci semináře mají možnost objednat si lahodný a lehký vegetariánský oběd uvařený podle ajurvédských zásad skvělou martou tovtovou, jejíž kurzy vaření a velmi osvícené dietetické poradenství předávané s velkou profesionalitou, péčí a láskou (k lidem i k jídlu ;), z celého srdce a žaludku doporučuji :)

je ideální absolvovat celou sérii worshopů jako ucelený kurz - pak máte šanci zažít ho jako poměrně dobrodružnou výpravu do sebe sama a vedle informací, poznatků a vhledů ještě čerpat z energie a dynamiky celé skupiny. lze se ale přihlásit i na jednotlivé semináře, podle toho, jak se vám to bude hodit rozvrhem. počet míst je omezen, hlaste se prosím co nejdříve na info@akasha.cz. všechny potřebné informace najdete na stránkách studia AKASHA, kde budou kurzy probíhat, případně v letáčku.

těšíme se na vás s martinou převelice a ještě více a do letních dní vám přejeme každodenní praktikování toho, co jako návod k dosažení štěstí uvádí jedna z biblí ajurvédy:

"podívejte se každé ráno na pár květin a nechte jejich krásu, aby k vám promluvila. pokochejtese zářivými barvami, jemným tvarem okvětních lístků, jejich vůní. nechte svoje srdce, ať naplno vnímá, a budete vědět všechno, co potřebujete."

namaskaram!

andalusia yoga reterat - october 2011

we are very excited to invite you to another intensive yoga retreat - this time in the charming embrace of ANDALUSIA .

we are going to take you to a beautiful hacienda retreat, a true gem set with great feel, taste and care in the ocean of green, offering a soothing, yet invigorating and inspiring experience. this is going to be an intimate and intensive retreat for a small group (up to 14 people). it's filling up so please sign up ASAP. all details are in the flyer.

from now on we are distingushing between YOGA HOLIDAYS/WEEKENDS and YOGA RETREATS.

YOGA HOLIDAYS and WEEKENDS bring you two yoga classes a day while leaving you whatever you believe is good and necessary for you to do in your free time ;). and we know it's not always reading the bhagavadgita, spending time in noble silence and drinking hot water with lemon ;)

YOGA RETREATS, on the other hand, allow you to open up to a very different experience which may help you to bring yoga to your daily life so that it's not just a physical exercise but a way of being and living. a RETREAT comes from the verb "to retreat" - to withdraw from your daily activities and patterns, from what we normally and often mechanically do and say and think. a retreat gives us a chance to re-evaluate and change may of our habits - seeing more clearly which ones serve and nurture us and which ones burden our bodies and minds. yoga retreats expose you not only to more physical practice, asana, but also to meditation, pranayama, silent walks, talks about yoga philosophy, mantras and light but nurturing and delightful meals :) a retreat means quieting the mind, detoxing the body and finding solace in the peace and stillness of just being. and so, quite naturally, a retreat does not rhyme with intense activities, drinking alcohol, eating heavy food and getting as busy as possible with "relaxing" ;) retreats are for students with already existing yoga practice - whether you practice regularly at a studio or have your home practice - who wish to dive deeper into the teachings of yoga.

we believe that this distinction will serve you all well - each one at his/her own pace and intensity :) each and every one of you is unique, walking his/her path at his/her own pace and we would love our events to reflect this diversity of paths and paces better than before.

you can find the list of all our yoga events planned for the coming months here (our new profile on YOGAPOINT).

svastha yoga therapy training in prague

it is with much joy and deep gratitude that i will welcome one of the mohan family, my yoga teachers from india, in prague again.

most of you have noticed that i mention the name and, most importantly, the teachings of my dear and revered teachers in - and, actually, also ouside of - my classes a lot. i've been lucky to study with and assist the mohans since 2007 and it's been a truly transformative experience. my understanding, practice and teaching of yoga have been greatly influenced by these inspiring teachers. the mohans present the authentic teachings of classical yoga and ayurveda with much experience, insight and respect.


mohanji, an expert in yoga therapy and a teacher with great wealth of knowledge, was a direct student of the legendary yoga master sri tirumalai krishnamacharya. his beautiful and serene wife indra is an accomplished yoga therapist and a true yogini with much love and light to share. she means everything to me and is my maha teacher. she's the essence and message of yoga embodied.

some of you have had the chance to meet and study with the mohans already (you can check pictures from their last 2008 workshops in prague and maybe find yourself ;).

this time, "only" (sounds so wrong!) ganesh mohan and one of the svastha yoga students and my dear friend guenter niessen are coming to deliver the first module of a SVASTHA YOGA THERAPY TRAINING.



between 2nd and 7th of september 2011 the AKASHA YOGA STUDIO will host module 1 of the yoga therapy training programme: low back, pelvis & lower limb (musculoskeletal system, part 1). designed primarily for yoga teachers and advanced practitioners, the program can also be of great assistance to therapists, bodyworkers, physicians etc. all details can be found in the flyer.

GANESH is a yogi of keen intellect and he's also a skilled ayurvedic practitioner trained in both ayurvedic and conventional medicine. he's a very engaging teacher with deep knowledge, great understanding & endearing directness :)


GUENTER is a specialist in orthopedic and trauma surgery but definitely prefers healing through yoga asanas, breathing practices and meditation rather than using his ubersharp knife ;) he's devised his own holistic approach to healing and employs a multidisciplinary approach in his therapy. plus he's fun to be with :)




i look forward to seeing you at the training. or meeting you some other time, other place :-)

wishing you all days filled with great joy, deep peace, true love and selfless gratitude. may your path lead you from darkness to light, from limited reality to sweet eternity, from suffering to deep bliss. and from your computers to AKASHA between 2nd and 7th september ;)

yoga & swimming retreat in kasperk - may 2011

it's happening again :) the last yoga and total immersion swimming retreat in kasperk was a lovely and enjoyable weekend. we had lots to learn, explore and share.

so we've decided to go for a repeat. if you'd like to enjoy swimming so much more than ever before, if you'd like to make friends with the element of water (and a few people as well ;), if you'd like to embrace more fully the idea and practice of flow in and out of water, and if you'd like to get more comfortable in the present moment.... you may very well have found your fix :)

the kind and infinitely patient tomáš vojtěchovský and myself will teach you how to tap into a totally organic, smooth, joyful and yet deeply meditative movement in both yoga and swimming.

if you wonder whether you'd catch up or muse whether you'll be bored by repeating the basics, don't worry, we'll have one beginner and one advanced total immersion swimming group :)

for more information about the retreat (27 - 29 may 2011) in our beloved hotel kašperk please see the flyer. places are limited so please sign up ASAP.

yoga in heaven on earth :)

the turn of last september and october saw the lovely nina lazic, my france-loving self and a small and truly awesome group of yogis in ardeche, rhone alpes (FR).


we went up to bas praly, a gem of a place.


it's a place with a unique and yet familiar, homely and soothing vibe where you feel: wait, this could easily be my home!


it's a sea of tranquility with stunning views where you can go for hikes, stay on a patio and let the sun shine or enjoy a swim among giant rocks.


the durga-ji centre in bas praly is run by julie giacomini, a sweet yet strong soul, an amazing cook and a great spirit.


julie not only hosted the retreat and cooked three wholesome, beautifully balanced vegetarian meals a day for us but she also took us for hikes, walks, shared her stories with us and allowed her precious pets be our best buddies for a few days :) just hope we didn't spoil them that much :)


julie's life story is enough to make for a hollywood movie and the twist in her life journey - turning her away from becoming a lawyer in a big city to start up a small yoga school and retreat centre literally in the middle of nowhere - is tremendously inspiring. along with her partner, fred, she's built a lovely place with a round practice room with amazing energy that connects you with the earth and air at the same time. the place is incredibly quiet and conducive to deep meditation and reflection.


her idea of dorm accommodation for retreats also won me over: the groups are small (up to 8 people) so it's not much of a sacrifice, really. and on such a retreat, you learn to share just right: those who tend to always keep to themselves learn to share more and those who tend to share a lot (and perhaps too much) will quickly learn how to share less :) plus the place is very cosy. you can check last year's pics.

each and every one of us enjoyed the retreat so much we just wanted to go back and do it again sometime soon. which will be this may :)

so, you can join us for two classes a day along with talks about yoga and organic cooking, hiking, swimming, kayaking and relaxation. the retreat will run from 4th may to 8th may 2011. you'll have enough time for reflection and enough time for sharing. all details are in the flyer. a bien tot en france mes amis :)

can kasperk be my valentine?

... as i'm totally in love with the place :)

we've just returned from a fabulous yoga weekend in kasperk. my dear friend and amazing yoga teacher brandi mackenzie & my happy self were blessed with a truly precious bunch of yogis there.



the weekend was filled with so much lightness & joy & ease for me ... and, apparently - and luckily - for many others :) that it made my heart sing and my body dance :) our practice was inspired by therapeutic & detoxing sequences, breathing exercises & meditation practices and we even smuggled in a bit of an aromatherapy primer ;) more on aromatherapy and awesome essential oils soon :)


i came back so energised & sooooo happy! can't wait to go back and teach another one of these with b! you can read about the retreat on brandi's blog & check some pics here.

and i can't wait to return to kasperk in just two months, not long after we come back from sri lanka, to teach our regular yoga weekend in kasperk with the much loved and even more loving lenka nezvalova.

it has filled up very quickly, so only LAST FOUR SPOTS are left at the moment. if you want to join us please sign up ASAP (for details pls check the flyer) . look forward to spending a beautiful spring time with you :) may your days carry the same freshness, vivaciousness and joy as early spring days :)

partner yoga workshop 26 feb 2011

the lovely lenka nezvalova and myself are teaching a partner yoga workshop on saturday 26th february, 2011. this time we'll be hosted by the charming YARD RESORT just outside prague.

if you'd like to join us for three hours of yoga done mostly in pairs to explore different facets of the asana and breathing practice which may then inform your own practice, making you aware of some other aspects, you're very welcome to do so! all deets are included in the flyer.


you don't have to come with your life-time partner - partner poses have nothing to do with match-making :) partner poses are meant to allow you help each other "get" some points commonly mentioned in regular classes, and take that understanding to your own, personal practice. if this idea speaks to you, maybe the workshop can be a chance to give it a try.

by popular request, this workshop is in czech this time round. surely doing an english repeat sometime soon, no worries :)

yoga retreat w/ brandi mackenzie & myself in kasperk

a truly happy and healthy new year bringing you lots of love, joy, gratitude, a deep sense of contentment with yourself and others, ease of body, peace of mind, openness of the heart and genuine trust in the order of things.

may our regular and enjoyable yoga practice help in bringing us all these blessings by making us realize that the new and the old, the beginnings and the ends, the inhale and the exhale are inseparable - mere expressions and perceptions of the same: the oneness, completeness and miraculousness of life.

one of the people i resonate with in terms of both yoga practice and life in general is my friend brandi mackenzie. i met brandi last year when she was living in pardubice, CZ, with her husband aaron who played hockey there.


currently living in linz, austria, b has studied with many yoga teachers but her main teacher is tias little. brandi's teaching is full of purpose, clarity, compassion, smoothness, natural movement and great therapeutic effect. like myself, brandi is a strong believer in the healing power of the yoga practice on all levels - be it physical, mental, energetic or spiritual. some of you may know b from her december workhop in prague or our yoga retreats in kasperk and egypt.


i'm very happy to be able to co-teach a yoga retreat with brandi (11 - 13 feb 2011) in our beloved kasperk, in the heart of the beautiful sumava mountains. you can join us for four alignment-based classes focusing on unwinding the spine, liberating the hips and shoulders, releasing the tension from our bodies and minds and balancing out our energy. though the focus of the yoga sessions will be therapeutic the classes will also challenge you without harming you at the same time :) plus you'll be able to enjoy swimming in a lovely swimming pool, go skiing, hiking, exploring or just rest and hang out with like-minded souls.

for more info and practical details please see the flyer - and book your place at lenkalucieyoga(at)gmail.com. can't wait to see you there :)
