I enjoy exploring non-linear movement using a prop to change things up for sensory feedback. This is a short clip where I'm using a weighted ball (about 1kg) to add load and resistance. It helps me to track movement into the scapular, rib cage and spine. The spirals of my bones help to recruit the elasticity of the myofascial chains. Allowing for information from the distal to inform the proximal body in initiating movement.
 I'm pleased to be facilitating the next instalment of Embodiment and Bodywork Immersion once again at the gorgeous MalaDhara retreat centre in Chiang Mai this July.
This program keeps evolving year after year as I continue to morph and grow as an educator, therapist, practitioner, and most importantly, a human being. Many people ask me what kind of Yoga do I teach now, and what do I mean by calling it Embodiment. So this is my attempt to shed some more light on this immersion. Movement. Inquiry. Embodiment. These 3 words have been the guiding pillars of my content and offerings the last 3 years. In these deeply personal journeys, I hope to hold a sacred space for inquiries to take place, through movement, through touch, through curiosity, through connections - to delve into the relationships with our body, with our self and with others. To offer a safe space to explore, to question, to challenge and to let go. This program is NOT about scoring quick fixes. It is NOT about perfecting your alignment in Yoga poses. It is NOT a promise package to finding your bliss. BUT. This program will help you - Learn more about your habitual patterns in the body-mind Cultivate awareness, acceptance and spaciousness from within Learn to listen so you can transition from a dogma / goal-oriented movement approach to one that is informed by body intelligence Rest / Restore / Rejuvenate Learn / Relearn / Retrain / Rewire And therefore, it is not Yoga of any lineage or any style. It is about coming home to our being, curated through the lens of wholeness, an embodiment of body-mind-spirit. Not for the faint-hearted. http://www.yogawithdaphne.com/embodimentyogabodyworkimmersion.html  We shall not cease from exploration And the end of life our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time … T.S Elliot |
