Dynamic yoga workshop

'Going deeper through yoga posture practice'

with Godfrey Devereux

9 - 11 March 2012

Godfrey Devereux is the author of Dynamic Yoga, Hatha Yoga Breath By Breath, 15 Minute Yoga and The Elements Of Yoga. Since 1973 practicing yoga has been the basis of his life. Godfrey started teaching yoga in 1978 and has been teaching fulltime and around the world, since 1988.

Mainly self-taught, his primary teachers have been B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune and B.N.S Iyengar of Mysore. Godfrey's meditation training has been in the Zen Tradition under the guidance of Soten Genpo Roshi, founder of the Kanzeon Sangha, and Abbot of the largest Sangha in the west. His understanding of yoga and life has been profoundly affected by his encounters with the teaching and presence of Advaita Guru Ramesh Balsekar.

Godfrey runs annual summer retreats in France and workshops and teacher trainings all over Europe. More information about him and his schedule can be found at www.dynamicyoga.com .

 

About Dynamic yoga

Godfrey’s teaching has one simple agenda: to invite irrevocable authenticity and profound acceptance of, and into, daily life. This invitation is extended through the activity of yoga techniques. This is contextualised in the triple wisdom of Yoga, Zen and Advaita. This contextualisation is unique and powerful. It offers anyone and everyone a rapid, deep and transforming insight into the true nature of action, perception, volition, consciousness and the self.

The development of the Dynamic Yoga Teaching Method of instruction came about in direct response to Godfrey teaching Ashtanga Yoga to thousands of inexperienced students at the Life Centre in London.
It is a rapid and effective way of transmitting the power and simplicity of the classical method of yoga. The effectiveness is not based on the prerequisites of flexibility, strength, stamina or experience. Rather it is based on the clarity that comes from gradual application of the principles of movement, action and attention to the techniques of the yoga method. Accordingly, students of all styles, levels and experience are deeply empowered in their practice and inspired towards a life free from guilt, shame, resentment and blame.
