Upcoming
Intensives, Workshops and Retreats: Meditation Evenings – Blissout! "Bliss
Out": A chance to sit for three hours in meditation.
The
real discipline of YOGA lies not in body movements, but in learning to
observe the mind and getting out of the habit of identifying with the things
the mind fancies. The route is through stillness meditation. You won’t know
how good it is unless you try it!! Short
breaks to stretch the muscles - and it’s ok to wriggle or adjust if you need
to!! Forthcoming dates for Blissouts are · Friday 16th September,
2011. Contact
the College for bookings or further information about Blissout

Clinical Issues in Teaching
Meditation Friday 2nd
– Sunday 4th September, 2011 This
weekend covers issues that are significant to the large number of professional
people and ordinary meditators who take the approach that meditation is an
adjunct health therapy. Many of the
public who come to you will be of the same opinion, and, while you ought to
be able to offer them the deeper understanding of Yoga – the proper
understanding of meditation – nevertheless, it is beneficial to learn about
the more clinical aspects of meditation, too. The weekend will be an
in-depth study of physiological and psychological issues that meditation
teachers may encounter. We will look
at: ·
Ancient
and modern approaches to meditation ·
What
does “therapeutic mean in the context of meditation? ·
Who
would/would not benefit from “meditation therapy”? ·
Biological
and mental states in meditation ·
Stress
response and relaxation response ·
Herbert

great revision for trainees and graduates, for teachers who want to brush up
on their knowledge, or anyone interested in learning
about Yoga and asana than is normally offered in a 'holiday' retreat.
What is in this retreat for you? Meditation ·

spirituality. The space that is at once
the deepest spiritual state of the individual, and the space where individual
functioning is optimised in many, many ways. Anatomy
and Asana ·
During
the weekend, you will be guided through the muscular system and the
physiology of movement, always in relation to Asana. ·
Each
day commences with a 2 hour yoga class, where we start with a guided focus on
the skeletal system during a practice of Shavasana. Yoga Darshan ·
You
will explore just how challenging the perspective of Patanjali's
Yoga Sutras really is. ·

the reasoning and progression of the Sutras supports the understanding to be
gained.
