With these carefully designed and seasonally aligned weekend workshops, Yoga Sheiks offers a deep dive into the 5000 year old life science of Ayurveda. The workshops will proceed in a flow of lecture and conversation, physical yoga asana practice and live sound meditation with singing bowls, ukulele, cello and voice.

Ayurveda is known as the "sister science” of Yoga and share the belief in human beings as part of nature and nature as part of us. The goal of Ayurveda is optimal health and wellbeing - both physically, mentally and energetically. The system is based on an understanding that each of us is born unique with our very own significant constitution, which implies that diet, habits and practices like yoga need to be adapted individually in order for our systems to function in an optimal way. Ayurveda may provide you with new perspectives on how to better understand yourself - and hereby also how to better understand others.

BALANCE YOUR VATA

Autumn time is coming up and according to Ayurveda, this means that the elements of wind and space (ether) will be more present, both in our body-minds and in our surroundings. The seasonal change suggests that we are more prone to certain health issues and in this workshop we will share different practices on how to stay balanced, attuned and healthy through the season of Autumn. The workshop will start with a general introduction to the system of Ayurveda with a specific focus on the bioenergy of Vata. The talk will be followed by a Vata balancing asana practice and concluded with an extended Savasana accompanied by a nourishing live sound bath.

AYURVEDA & RELATIONS: Know Yourself To Know Your Other

The first half of the Sunday workshop will be dedicated to learning about the different qualities of the Ayurvedic bioenergies (doshas) - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. We will dive into the notion of Prakriti (Nature) and spend time on fundamental questions like “Who am I and what does my nature need” in an Ayurvedic perspective. This talk will be followed by a tridoshic yoga asana practice. After a short break we will then examine how knowing your nature can deepen your understanding for others and thereby contribute to more harmonious relationships in your life. Through some playful partner and circle exercises, we will explore how yoga asana in shared space can be a strong relational practice. The session will be sealed with a (re-) connecting live sound meditation.

Yoga Sheiks recommend the full weekend experience, but it is also possible to sign up for a single workshop.
