Description

BODY ECONOMY AND AWARENESS THROUGH WHIRLING

Warming up with stretching & breathing
Awareness with body part & upside dawn exercises, basic acrobatics & improvisation
Whirling, spinning & rolling in different forms & levels



Workshop Outline
Aims and Objectives:

This workshop suggests a space for the participants where they can deal with their limits
through whirling, stimulate their ability for the thrift of bodily energy, and through these
abilities reach their goal movement within their own genre, spending less energy, with a higher
level of awareness.

Whirling is not the main goal of this workshop. The greater goal is to improve one’s physical,
emotional and mental awareness through whirling and the exercises prior to that. It leads the
participants to perceive and accept what is befalling throughout whirling, and reach an
innovative movement by means of whirling.

Methodology:

The workshop consists of following steps:

• Warm up: stretching and breathing in order to enhance concentration preparing the
body and mind to gain strength to push mental and physical limits.

• Awareness: This step includes floor work, body part & upside dawn exercises, basic
acrobatics and improvisation in various levels. It aims to strength the awareness of
senses and systems in preparation for meeting the unknown arrangements to be
encountered while whirling.

• Whirling: Further developments of physical, emotional and mental awareness are to be
obtained in this step. Whirling first starts at the vertical level. At the further steps
repetitive movements are to be experienced at both vertical and horizontal levels. This
step helps the participants to feel and record the conditions of their perception of space
and body; thus the awareness improves. This is a step where the participants in various
aspects confront conditions that are not usual or accustomed. By accepting the
unknown, the knowledge concerning awareness and ability for the thrift of bodily energy
will expand.

TANTRA YOGA INTRODUCTION WORKSHOPS WITH TUDOR CONDREA



Tudor is traveling from Asia, where he has been practicing and teaching Tantra for the last twenty years, to run these special workshops:

Intensive Sunday Workshops: 1st FEBRUARY and 15th FEBRUARY
4-7pm,

£30 per Sunday

Intensive week workshops: Monday 9TH FEBRUARY- Friday 13th FEBRUARY 11am-4pm



This workshop is an introduction to the old mysteries of the Indian Tantra. From it”s vastness we will extract the juicy aspects of sexuality and will boldly present them to you in a genuine manner.
This knowledge, the heroic path of the left hand Tantra, will include both physical powerful aspects belonging to the more technical Tibetan Tantra and the sensual refinement, with it”s loving devotional side, of the Kashmirian and South Indian tantric approach.
Though it take more than a life time to explore and experience the universe of Tantra, we will manage in 5 days to extract an important aspect from the Tantric reality and reveal it in a western style, though surrounded by it”s genuine mysticism : The Tantric sexuality, a path to Oneness through couple loving sexual interaction.
Rituals, powers, knowledge and techniques will lead to awareness and responsibility regarding what we really are...different from what we were.
So dare to join for a deep experience of the tantric reality.
Everyday life is the path.
This workshop intends to give you some of the tools to speed up the process of evolution through the tantric path. It”s a beginning and it”s intention is to create a friendship between us not a follower-ship.
By becoming friends and comrades on the exciting Tantric path we will share the time, the energy and the space in which an answer will open new doors to new dimensions while a question will do the same.
All of us, friends, will benefit.
Everyday life is the path....

Five days workshop: £175
