Shadow Yoga Workshop with Monique Ledesma

Monique Ledesma - Shadow Yoga Teacher - offers a workshop introducing the Balakrama (Stepping into strength) - the first of the Shadow Yoga Preludes.

Join us for this half day of practices from the Shadow Yoga School.

We begin with "Pelvic Floor Awakening" which includes pelvic floor breathing and integration, a crucial first step of preparation for the body for practice. This leads us to the practice of the Balakrama, an invigorating sequence which develops fluid strength, physical and mental resilience, powerful agni (inner fire) and apana vayu (downward force). After a short tea break we will explore seated work, including the hasta karana, specific movements of the hands and wrists, and some internal work.

~ About Monique ~

Monique began practising yoga in 2002. By 2004, she was teaching several popular styles. Meanwhile, the philosophy behind the physical practice had lit a fire within. She continued searching for an authentic teaching, in which the theory and the practical were truly aligned, and connected to the original purpose and ancient wisdom of Yoga.

Monique discovered Shadow Yoga in 2008, which was everything she was looking for and more. In 2010 she began attending courses with Sundernath and Emma Balnaves, the founder and director of Shadow Yoga respectively. She continues her studies with them, attending courses in Shadow Yoga and Nrtta Sadhana every year.
