Saturday 14 November, 13:30 to 15:00 | The Yoga Nest, Kirkegata 32, Stavanger
Imagine your feet leaving the mat as you press into your hands, your body lifting and swinging softly through your arms to land seated, without a sound. Imagine jumping back into Chaturanga with the same ease, vinyasa after vinyasa, your breath leading the way.
The jump back and jump through are the threads that stitch the Ashtanga practice together. They appear dozens of times in every Primary Series, so each small improvement multiplies across your whole practice. When they start to flow, your practice feels lighter, more rhythmic and more joyful. And the secret is less about raw strength and more about technique, timing and a few key insights. This jump back and jump through workshop in Stavanger leads naturally into Sunday’s arm balance workshop, where the same lift and lightness carry you into flying postures.
What you’ll explore
- The mechanics of lift: Discover how hand placement, shoulder engagement and a forward shift of weight create the space your legs move through.
- Bandhas and core compression: Feel how Mula Bandha, Uddiyana Bandha and active core work make you lighter in your hands, so you lift from your centre rather than pushing with your arms.
- Lolasana and other key drills: Practise focused drills that build the specific strength and body awareness these transitions call for, step by step.
- Jumping through and back: Put the pieces together, exploring crossed-leg and straight-leg variations, and find the version that suits your body today.
What to expect
- Clear progressions that break each transition into manageable stages.
- Blocks and props to help you feel the lift long before you fly.
- Personal pointers on the one or two changes that make the biggest difference for you.
- A set of drills you can take home and weave into your daily practice, so progress keeps coming after the workshop ends.
Who it’s for
Whether you’re just beginning to explore jumping or already float some of the way, you’re welcome here. This afternoon is designed for all levels, and every drill comes with options, so you can work at your own pace toward your own goals.
Your invitation
Lightness is a skill, and you can learn it. Come and play, laugh at the wobbles and discover how close you already are to floating through your practice.
