A Sensory Yoga Experience Workshop

-Description-

Have you ever practiced yoga with your eyes closed? It's one thing to close them occasionally. Not having the ability to re-open them is another.

The senses are integral to our existence. They are the instruments through which we perceive and engage with the outer world. But have you ever experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed and carried away by this engagement with the outer world? This feeling is sometimes so powerful that it makes us dependent on outer objects and sensory gratification to find satisfaction and happiness, and we forget that the true source of joy and fulfilment lies within us.

In this workshop, we will discuss the importance and benefits of activating the senses in our yoga practice and in our daily life. We will go through a number of exercises to experiment your outer and inner senses, including a 45-minute blindfolded yoga asana practice. We will also end with a mindfulness practice activating your sixth sense.

These exercises involve a great amount of mindfulness, body and spatial awareness, and breath awareness. We hope they will contribute to enable you to control your senses and find inner peace and happiness.

Please note: Bring your own blindfold - a scarf or a sleep mask - to cover your eyes.

-About beetee-

What started in 2012 as just a curiosity turned out to be a gradually life-changing experience for me. Yoga represents not only a well-balanced combination of physical strength and flexibility, but also a bridge to my mental health through the breath. Synchronising body and mind, yoga opens space for me to travel within myself. Teaching yoga for me means helping others to discover these unique benefits yoga have brought to me.

Currently based in Tokyo, Japan, I have accumulated five years of teaching experience in Singapore, Japan and Australia. I teach by respecting and empowering your body, your abilities and limitations, and personal inspirations.

I have a dream to make yoga accessible and meaningful to everyone, whether on or off the mat. Join my class with an open mind and discover unexpected things about yourself.
