met o.a. Koji Kunikiyo, Mizue Tamaki, Hatsuko Kanazawa
A cleansing week in which you can do a half-fast (eating very small quantities). This is combined with the intake of special drinks, suited to everyone’s individual condition. It’s an exercise to learn to listen to the Life force. The cleansing happens on different levels: physical, emotional and spiritual.
If you do not want to fast, you still will join in the ‘special drinks’, so even then it’s a cleansing week!
Sometimes people who have given you advice on your diet can be mistaken, or your advice to others can be wrong. We have to listen to our life force. This is the essence of yoga.
Koji Kunikiyo, after guiding hundreds of people, developed an unique system force of ‘listening to your body, your lifeforce.This is yoga. He possesses vast knowledge about food.. Even those who have already a good understanding about food, are impressed by getting unclear issues clarified. Through this week’s experience we’ll realize that we can be active and feel good with less quantity of food. It’s important not to eat more than needed.
If you want to do the half-fasting, you are required to stay from the beginning till the end.
This seminar is very popular and it’s therefore strongly advised to enroll NOW if you want to join

Meditation
| THERE ARE STILL SPACES AVAILABLE! |
Fri Dec 16 (20.30) - Sun 18 (16.00) € 195
How to sit well is important, as it influences the function of the nervous system and the organs. A lot of people who practize meditation, think they have the right sitting posture, but sometimes they develop a scoliosis or a fat tummy. From long experience, Mizue will let you feel the subtle difference between ‘a good posture’ and a ‘nearly good posture’.
Many people declared, that thanks to Mizue’s instruction, they can sit much longer, without getting back pain.
For some it’s also a good preparation if
they plan to do a long session Vipassana or Zen mediation.

Asana in Do-Zen (Zen in movement), Breathing & Dharana (concentration)
SEMINAR with
OSAMU TATSUMURA
Osamu Tatsumura is one of the few Japanese senior students who were educated directly by Masahiro Oki.
Oki-do yoga is often considered as a form of yoga which consists of only dynamic exercises, but this isn’t the case at all! Yoga is a holistic search of various aspects like Yama, Nyama, Asana.... till Prasad.
For this seminar we have choosen the subjects: Asana, Pranayama en Dharana.
Asana in the form of DoZen (‘do’ means movement). Pranayama is not only part of classical yoga, but is also applied in daily life. Dharana means concentration.
Of course Oki-do yoga has to be modified to everyone’s individual needs, but not in the sense of ‘every variation is acceptable’.
We will refer to the original source material, published during the life of Masahiro Oki, like Practical Yoga and Practical Meditation (no English translation available) and specifically with regards to the subjects mentioned above.
Mizue Tamaki applies the same principle in her seminar of January referring to Zen Meditation Therapy and Ronald Boin to the Kyoka-ho book in his seminar in April.

Fr Jan 27 (20.30) - Sun 29 (16.00) €205

Fri May 4 (20.30)-Sun 6 (16.00) € 205The 2 workshops are different and van be followed independent from each other.
with Hatsuko Kanazawa
Even when students can perform asana’s really well, sometimes there’re areas left which are stiff and where as a teacher, you don’t really know what to do.
If certain relation points are stimulated by means of shiatsu, it can have a very good result. The shiatsu therapist can also give specific exercises which can be used at home.
Hatsuko Kanazawa was born in a family of masseurs. She studied some years with Master Oki, after she finished her study in acupuncture and shiatsu. She also studied in China. She has been given shiatsu treatments for more than 3o years.
This is a specially useful seminar for yoga teachers. Not only for yourself, but also for your students.

WINTER retreat
Tuesday Dec 27 (11.00) - Saturday Dec 31 (10.00) € 380
with Mizue Tamaki en Anna Walseman
This is the time of the year to make decisions for the next one!
Exercises for the internal organs, posture corrections, breathing- and strengthening exercises; we’ll do compresses, go for walks and meditate.
This way we cleanse our blood and so are able to make decisions with a clear mind.
Yoga is a practical teaching to built a better life for yourself and others around you.
It’s a good habit to start each year on New Years Eve with pledge for the coming year. Do this with a clear mind and a clean body.
Body & mind use the same blood and nerves. That’s why the quality of the blood and the state of the nervous system influence your mind and attitude. In yoga you can’t separate body & mind.
