Glenn Ceresoli - Iyengar Yoga Live in Retreat Feb 2008- Tauhara Centre Taupo, February 7 - 14 or 17 , 2008. The Last three days are optional fo rteacher training "The Yoga Mind" Cultivating Constant Integrated Awareness This live in retreat will focus on practice to create a yogic mind in life (and in practice). This is the heart of learning and the process of living the yogic state. Glenn is a senior certificated Iyengar Yoga teacher currently living in Australia. He asserts to teach in a way that connects you to the core of who you are and shows ways to keep you anchored in that knowledge, in that experience, in day to day life. Glenn hopes that people will find through yoga that aspect of Self that will guide them through anything - whether that path appears right, wrong or indifferent to the outer world. Following ones heart can mean deviation at times from the rules of the world. We all want inner composure and contentment in the face of adversities, the trick is to be able to create this. This live in retreat will be a valuable experience for committed Iyengar Yoga students. Prepayment of a Deposit for the Retreat is essential. Contact Paul Barton, Yoga Studio, P O Box 1753, Rotorua .

Yoga Direction

The pace of life today dictates some lifestyles that can urge us to be quick, fast and efficient. This is true, at our work place, and also at home, at schools and in social contexts. However much we try, we still have human limitations and past certain limits, our resources may not permit us to be fully attentive to so many areas. This can lead us to distractions and as a consequence, we may commit errors and perhaps strain our body or nerves/emotions leading to a reduction in health and conscious appreciation of life. Unless we identify and take care of this early it might lead us to a point of difficult return.

This is where a discipline like yoga helps, when we understand and utilize its whole dimension. Yoga helps us to be alert to situations in front of us and within us, and provided a whole range of tools to face activities effectively. As we progress in yoga, yoga philosophy and clarity around correct methodology become more important. Through personal integration of these yoga methods we can refresh our system, become more alert and eventually find right balance within our day to day situations, activities and creativity.

This workshop will provide medically proven ways to release the minds constant noise and body’s pains so we can concentrate and invest in what we choose to do with more ease and competency (full attention). We gain a greater sense of balance and physical control, feeling more grounded and physically alive. Taking more control of our health and well-being is very invigorating and empowering; it does not have to take a lot of time for busy folks it is about being more attentive and disciplined to a short practice to move us towards greater wellness.

This retreat will include yoga, pranayama (breathing work), and meditation (in sitting, walking and in yoga poses). The retreat will be silent except for teaching times and organisation needs.

This is a chance to explore quietening and observing the mind and to use breath work to produce energised calm. In such work and associated calm mental process, we can see our attachments and mental tendencies more clearly and can emerge with a renewed sense of self and direction in life.

Places for 9 students exist preference will be given first to those who register and pay in full. Please register with Paul or Madhu providing contact details and payment
