Yoga Basics Foundation Course with Barbara Mullin: A three part foundation course in yoga
Explore the fundamentals of Yoga in three afternoon workshops. This course is a great introduction to, or enhancement of, your Yoga knowledge beyond regular classes. Get a more complete picture of what Yoga is and how to make your practice more fulfilling.
Session 1: Anatomy and Asana
We will familiarise ourselves with the basics of anatomy and relate this to our asana (posture) practice. How do we develop strength, flexibility, alignment and endurance? And why would we want to beyond the purely physical health reasons? We'll consider the connection of the physical body with our emotional and energetic selves.
Date: Saturday 30 October 14:00- 16:30
Session 2: The Eight-Fold Path
These eight building blocks of Yoga provide the guide to a complete practice both on and beyond the mat. Based on knowledge from the ancient Yogic text The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the eight-fold path remains just as relevant for finding peace of mind today as it did more than 2000 years ago. We will explore all eight components on the Yogic path in theory and practice as well as discussing the 'big questions' such as: What is meditation? What is enlightenment? What do we mean when we talk about God?
Date: Saturday 6 November 14:00- 16:30
Session 3: Making Yoga Yours
Why do you practice Yoga? What do you want from the practice? What yogic type are you- sattvic, rajasic or tamasic? How do you learn best- through action (karma), wisdom (jnana) or devotion (bhakti)? We will spend this lesson learning to create your own sadhana (individual practice) choosing from a variety of Yogic tools (asana, pranayama, meditation, mudra, mantra, etc.) best suited to your individual needs.
Date: 13 November 14:00- 16:30

Be prepared to flow, move and circle around the room. Usually we spend our lives looking in one direction which is forward, looking to the future. Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the frontal plane and just spin around and just have fun! February 26th, 14.00 - 16.30 Cost: 35 euro To register: CLICK ON REGISTRATION AND THEN GO TO WORKSHOPS About Nele: If you've had asked her a few years ago what her passion in life was, the answer would have been shoes and chocolate. Ask that exact question now and without hesitation the answer is Yoga. Nele was educated to be an artist, a painter. That evolved to working in advertising and running from one deadline to another. Looking for a way to relax she discovered yoga, with Elsie Matthijsens as her first teacher. Because yoga made her calm, friendly and happy, she was instantly hooked. Teaching happened accidentally when her teacher needed someone to sub one of her classes. Nele is completing her 500RYT training with Shiva Rea in L.A. and makes it an annual tradition to go back to train with Shiva and indulge in the Californian way of life. Besides Shiva Rea she unrolled her mat with these well known yogi(ni)'s: Katiza Satya, Anthony 'Prem' Carlisi, Petros Haffenrichter and Yogeswari , Gösta and Patrick, Rusty Wells, Twee Merrigan (Prana flow), Erich Schiffmann, Claire Missingham, Gurmukh (Kundalini), Tias and Surya Little and many more. Her classes are powerful yet calming. With Nele you explore your edge - flexibility, strength and endurance - in a playful way. The timbre of her voice gets you out of your thoughts and tempts you in a soft and meditative way. Her love for yoga is obvious in her classes, where passion, joy and flow invite you to discover your own yogic journey. FOR MORE INFO PLEASE EMAIL: INFO@YOGAFORM.BE

YogArom Workshops: Yoga and Aromatherapy workshops at Yoga Form conducted by Veerle Waterschoot Yoga and Aromatherapy For more info: www.cian-be.com Essential oils and yoga both have beneficial effects on our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. YogArom aims to synthesize the two strata of yoga and aromatherapy to generate their respective benefits simultaneously. Specially chosen aromas are combined with breathing exercises and yoga postures in different ways to enable a conscious experience of the flow of prana (vital life force) within. Veerle will lead you through this experience and teach about the essential oils themselves. About Veerle: In 1992 Veerle Waterchoot started an independent practice of aromatherapy. Taking an holistic approach, Veerle began to explore etheric oils and how aroma's support not just physical healing but our psychic experience of life. She developed aromatherapy for dementia and for palliative care. She also gives aromatherapy programmes for therapists, care givers and children. She conducts her training programmes both nationally and internationally. Her focus is all the more on the spiritual dimensions of etheric oils, and it is in this framework that YogArom finds itself. For two years, she heads a centre for integral aromatherapy and natural living. 
Veerle will conduct two workshops as an introduction to how essential oils can deepen your yoga practice. This workshop showed how the etheric (essential) oils can add an extra dimension to your yoga practice. Plants offer their highest energy to people via the power emanating from their aroma. Aroma has a beneficial effect on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, all things which are experienced through our yoga practice. YogArom provides a conscious experience of the influx of the vital, cosmic energy within us.
These lessons are open for everyone and anyone! No experience or knowledge of aromatherapy or yoga is required. Yoga practitioners will find these workshops can add an extra dimension to their yoga practice.
