FORMATION 50H TOTAL YOGA NIDRA POUR PROFESSEURS ET THÉRAPEUTES

avec Philippe Beer-Gabel
20 April– 27 April, 2020

La pratique de la Mindfulness est surtout orientée vers la liberation de la conscience, une comprehension au delà de la conceptuelle, et une profonde guérison des anciens schemas. La conscience libéré est telle qui peut accueillir, explorer et vivre toute experience sans compulsion, sans contraction, sans confusion.

This retreat will interweave the practices of meditation with mindful movement and yoga practice, all as supports for insight, awakening, and freeing ourselves from habitual patterns. The retreat will include 2 periods of mindful movement each day along with silent and guided meditations, and meetings with the teachers. The movement practices are designed to greatly enhance the sensitivity and steadiness of mind in attending deeply to moment-to-moment experience, and to be integrative in bringing awareness and inquiry into all moments and activities of life.

20 July – 26 July, 2020

Meditation practice is designed for us to live more fluidly and freely, to be more fully human in the various realms of our life. This retreat will explore the deepening qualities and realizations of the transforming heart, and their integration into an ever deepening human experience of life, love and liberation. Open to both experienced and beginning meditators.

This is a self retreat, a time to look after and nurture oneself. An opportunity to practice gentle Hatha Yoga, Mindful meditation, plus Restorative yoga, to foster self care and compassion. To start to let go of our habitual patterns in our body and minds, that can constrict our way of being. And instead open up to the possibility to fully rest, deeply relax and feel renewed in this moment.

La pratique de la mindfulness est souvent présentée comme un moyen d’entraîner l’attention, de calmer le mental et de gérer le stress. Ces outils importants et libérateurs peuvent néanmoins se considérer dans une vision plus vaste de la pratique et la possibilité d’aller bien au-delà d’un bien-être conventionnel.
