It's a prop celebration at Halifax Yoga!! You are going to dive deep into prop usage in this workshop, following the teachings of the prop master, BKS Iyengar.
You will learn how to prop-erly (ha!) set up several supported asanas, some of which will be pure bliss, others challenging. A new experience will be felt in all postures, as enough time will be allowed to let asanas permeate into your entire body, until every pore on your skin and every cell in your body has been reached by the pose and communicated to by the instinctive intelligence. Ever held a deep backbend for 5 minutes? You'll be able to when you practice relaxing into your power.
About the instructor Kevin Dougall... Kevin found yoga in 2011, and knew he wanted to teach after his 3rd class! He received his RYT200 and RCYT with One Yoga, and 125 hr Advanced Vinyasa Krama YTT with Srivatsa Ramaswami in 2014. He attended an informal Ashtanga teacher training with Manju Jois in the spring of 2015, and learned restorative Iyengar yoga, with Fr. Joe Periera in the fall of 2015. More recently, he attended a Tantra yoga training in 2019 at Shanti and has recently completed studies of the old Sanskrit texts - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and the Yoga Rahasya (Secrets), with Ramaswami in March 2021. Kevin focuses on the traditional core teachings of Krishnamacharya's lineage, and shares them through the postures, stories, philosophy, poetry, and music, to try to deliver them in a fun, dynamic, and inspirational way.
