The workshop will begin with a technique session, moving through various pathways, patterns, and sequences to activate, challenge, and open the body’s structure. The session will then move towards anatomical and imagery based improvisation, leading into partnering techniques and contact scores. Using the established vocabulary as a reference point, we will then deep dive into instant composition. With a focus on listening, adapting, and sensing, we will explore how communication and clarity in decision making and language can be tools to apply within group dynamics and theatrical images. This workshop will offer a space to analyse and further deepen the connection to your innate sense of expression, utilising technique and natural physical intelligence to slow down and open a bridge into creativity allowing freedom and ease within exploration.“

This workshop is designed for yoga practitioners who would like to improve their flexibility in a playful, supportive environment. During the workshop, students will be guided through a sequence of postures that progressively build towards deeper “backbends”. Nadia uses quotation marks because flexibility is truly a full-body practice; the spine itself is less flexible than many people think. Along the way, Nadia will introduce the core principles of Prana Vashya flexibility and alignment so students understand the role each posture plays in the sequence, including the less glamorous ones. In her own practice, the greatest progress has come from consistently returning to these fundamentals. Cobra is her best friend, and hopefully it will become yours too by the end of the workshop. Within the group setting, Nadia will also offer individual guidance to support each participant in working towards their own flexibility goals.
