Scaravelli-inspired Yoga Workshops

What are Yoga Workshops?

Erling’s Scaravelli-inspired yoga workshops offer a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of yoga and explore your body’s natural movements. These yoga workshops provide a space to:

• Discover how well you move in yoga postures
• Understand your body’s compliance with your unique body map
• Learn how your neurological makeup influences your movements

As humans, our movements are shaped by our neurological structure. Our yoga practice must support and enhances this natural tendency rather than pushing beyond our limits, which could lead to long-term complications.

In these yoga workshops, under Erling’s experienced guidance, you’ll have the chance to:

1. Transform your awareness of how you “do yoga.”
2. Approach your practice with kindness and respect for your body.
3. Use your breath and skeletal structure to find greater ease and grace in your movements.
4. Engage in discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice.

Beyond improving your physical practice, these yoga workshops explore yoga’s mental and emotional aspects, including mindfulness and self-awareness. By the end of a workshop, you’ll have gained:

• A deeper understanding of holistic and sustainable yoga practice
• Tools to continue exploring and growing on your own
• A fresh perspective on Scaravelli-inspired yoga

Whether you’re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, these workshops offer valuable insights into a mindful and intelligent approach to yoga.

Yoga Workshop Themes and Approach

Workshop Structure and Themes

Erling’s yoga workshops offer a unique blend of theory and practice:

• Morning sessions: Explore underlying principles and concepts of yoga
• Afternoon sessions: Put these ideas into practice

We delve into topics such as:

• The natural range of movement in the spine

• Incorporating these concepts into your yoga practice

These workshops provide a rare opportunity to deepen our understanding of yoga and improve overall health and well-being.

The Scaravelli Influence

Vanda Scaravelli understood natural balance and how to find it in her yoga. Her approach, which forms the foundation of our workshops, developed from:

• The anatomical precision of Iyengar Yoga
• The emphasis on breath and ease in Desikachar’s Viniyoga

Scaravelli developed her own distinctive method:

• Working with breath and gravity to free the spine
• Distilling movement to a few essential principles
• The surrender of the lower part of the body to gravity, giving back a lightness that liberates the upper part of the body

Her work continues to inspire a generation of yoga teachers, including myself, to explore and develop these principles.

My Intention in These Yoga Workshops

In these workshops, I incorporate many of the principles and techniques that Vanda developed, such as:

• Emphasis on breath and gravity
• Exploration of the natural range of movement in the spine

I believe that yoga is about cultivating awareness and tapping into the body’s innate intelligence. In my classes, I encourage students to:

• Listen to their internal dialogue
• Explore the connection between body and mind

Why I Teach Scaravelli-inspired Yoga Workshops

Through these workshops, I aim to help students:

• Connect with their own unique body and breath
• Develop a deeper understanding of Scaravelli-inspired yoga principles
• Create a personal practice that is nourishing and sustainable

My teachings are deeply rooted in the philosophy of this approach. These workshops provide a rare opportunity to learn from a teacher who has been dramatically influenced by Vanda Scaravelli and her pioneering work in the world of yoga.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, these yoga workshops will offer you valuable insights and techniques to enhance your practice.

The Deeper Meaning of Yoga in Our Workshops

In our yoga workshops, we explore not just the physical aspects of yoga but also its profound effects on our mind and body:

Is Yoga Exercise or How I Feel?

Yoga is more than just physical exercise. It’s a holistic practice that:

• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation
• It calms the mind and reduces stress and anxiety
• Utilises physical postures, controlled breathing, and mindfulness practices

Through our workshops, you’ll learn how these elements work together to create a comprehensive approach to well-being.

The Personal Journey of Yoga

As a yogi, I believe our beliefs and experiences shape our understanding of yoga. In these workshops, we explore how:

• Our thoughts shape our reality and influence our perception of the world
• Yoga can be a tool for connecting with our true self
• The practice helps us find inner peace and clarity
• We can learn to let go of limiting beliefs and expectations
• Being present in the moment becomes a powerful practice

These yoga workshops offer more than just physical instruction. They provide a space for personal growth, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of yoga’s true meaning in our lives.

By participating in our workshops, you’ll improve your physical practice and gain insights into how yoga can be a transformative force in your life. It can help you navigate stress, find inner calm, and cultivate a more mindful approach to daily living.
