Asthanga Workshop with Senior Teacher Anthony Kearney
Anthony will be holding another of his popular Ashtanga intensives at the Yoga Sacred Space in Wicklow Town on Saturday November 29th, 2008. These workshops are an opportunity to take your practice to another level, experimenting with more advanced poses and going more deeply into the postures you are already familiar with.
This may be your last chance before the Christmas blowout to prepare your body for all the fun and games during the traditionally hearty Irish yuletide festivities. Arrive at your first Christmas party lean, toned and purified with Ashtanga yoga and then have at the banquet table for a couple of weeks without a guilty conscience!
Anthony meanwhile, will be fresh back from further workshops in Berlin at the Asthanga Studio Berlin with brand new continental tips and tricks to enhance and improve your yoga practice.
The duration of the workshop will be three hours with a cost of Eur 40.

Yoga and Meditation
Sunday November 9th, 2008.
It is no secret that for many, Yoga is as much a way to manage and deal with the stress of everyday life as it is to gain flexibility, strength and the other physical benefits of asana practice. The origins of Yoga as practiced in India are inextricably linked with the practice of meditation which has been shown to be a highly effective tool in reducing stress and beating the symptoms of stress at their point of origin, deep within ourselves.
The Goal of Yoga
Today, the link between yoga and meditation is often lost sight of in the enthusiasm students and many teachers have for the, very satisfying and rewarding, practice of physical yoga. The goal of yoga was originally to quiet the body and still the mind in preparation for the practice of meditation - the ultimate inner journey which leads ultimately to a more fulfilling life and engagement with the outside and every day world.
This workshop in November will allow you to experience the effects of a full Hatha Yoga session upon a guided meditation practice. Following a Hatha Yoga class of 90 minutes, with myself (Liam Byrne) you will led by mindfulness trainer, Fidelma Farley, into two basic meditation practices that will enhance physical and mental stillness, and enable you to live more fully in the present.
Regular Breaks
This promises to be a very interesting workshop and I, for one, am looking forward very much to the extended mindfulness meditation after the yoga session. No need to worry about tortured legs either, this is a workshop (not a sweatshop!) and there will be no prizes awarded to those who can sit cross-legged the longest. There will be regular breaks to stretch the legs and opportunities to ask questions and discuss. Personally I can’t think of any better way (well, not many anyway) of spending a Sunday afternoon.
Cost and Duration
The duration of this workshop will be three hours with a cost of Eur 40.
