Embodied living 2A - body relationships part B. - This is the follow-up - the second of a series of 6-week online yoga courses designed to transform your day to day life. Embodied Living - 2B Scroll Body Relationships - part2 Free access for Platinum members Part 2 of the 2nd of a series of 6-week courses with Marc J Acquaviva, to transform your relationship to body & the world around you - the evening sessions top Content 6 videos approx 90 mins each. Enroll for 2A and get this for free Embodied Living 2A is here description Acquaviva Yoga The second wave - the evening sessions - This is the second of my online courses taking us into an exploration of specific relationships between parts of ourselves and the space we occupy. There were two courses running concurrently on this theme, and although the themes of each are based on the same principles, the delivery and specific content was geared to each participating group, so each of these courses shine a light on the same subject from a different angle, often working with different relationships of the body. As always, these recordings of my live online 6-week courses are designed to give you a complete guided tour of the body, bringing awareness to key relationships through action and breath, using simple functional postures and movements as the framework. Week by week you be guided in specific practices that bring you directly in touch with the body's innate intelligence. The course acts as structured support for the process that this initiates. Sessions are around 90minutes each. Once you have access to a recorded session, you have access for life. 45-60 minutes of each session, I guide you through specific practices and relationships based on the theme for the week. Either at the beginning or end of the session I invite Q & A with the live participants, and I offer ideas and practical yoga solutions to whatever is going on for them. People that go through the recorded version of this course have said that this part is just as relevant to their in-the-moment practice as if they were there live. With the recordings, you also have the advantage of being able to pause, rewind and redo parts that catch your attention. To make the most of this course, my advice would be to practice a little bit daily. 10 or 15 minutes will do, although if you are enjoying it, and have the time to do more I have found that there is no actual limit to how long I could practice if I wanted to. If you start with something that caught your interest on the session, the body will begin to remind you of other things.. It could be a principle, a direction of attention, or some relationship that I invite you to explore. If this kind of awareness finds its way into your daily life, then you will have begun the process of embodied living. It is quite a natural outcome of the practice, but only if you invite it. It is this that changes people's lives - there is an empowerment that comes with listening directly to the body's own intelligence. It gives us accurate clues about how we truly feel about things, and its voice can act as the wisest of guides through life. It is this particular realisation and experience that my students find to be one of most profound benefits of practice. - Marc J Acquaviva - This Course If you have access, click below to enter the class Session 1 - Action & Outcome Session 2 - Owning your space Session 3 - Moving & Living from the heart Session 4- The Pulse - finding natural rhythm Session 5 - The Breath is the answer Session 6 - Letting go into the outcome What sort of experience or fitness do I need to follow this course? No experience is required, and no particular level of health is needed for you to begin a journey that will improve both health and quality of life. This work is appropriate for everyone from total beginner with a curiosity about the body-mind relationship, through to fully experienced teachers looking for new depth, new inspiration and real solutions to the common issues encountered in yoga. The baseline requirement is a willingness to explore new ways of looking at things, together with a desire for change. How long do I have access to the course? You should have access for life - as long as the internet and the Acquaviva School of Yoga are alive. Frequently asked questions Each course promises to change my relationships to body and mind... How do these courses differ from each other? That's a big question! Before you experience it the best answer I can give is this: The principles behind my work involve working out how to create the conditions that will allow ANY body to find deeper integration. I have discovered and have been working with 6 fundamental conditions, each of which offers its own path to freedom with practice and time, and each could be considered a 'type' of yoga. But when practiced in conjunction and in natural sequence, effectiveness of practice is off-the-scale, and transformation is inevitable. Each Course takes your through the entirety of these Conditions in sequence, but each individual Course, in sequence, centres around one of the fundamental principles. Also, I am responding in the moment to the live participants, so specific content will be guided by specific groups. Basically, principle-based content is infinitely expandable despite being based on simple principles (in the same way that you can look at the same thing from an infinite number of angles)... I hope that answer wasn't too confusing! You will understand how it works and evolves, as soon as you have experienced one course. Meet the author of the approach Marc J Acquaviva Yoga saved my soul... I began practicing yoga in the 'Scaravelli-inspired' style at the age of 30 in1991, and I used the fundamental principle of 'listening to the song of the body' to find my way out of a great deal of chronic physical pain. In the process I discovered that there were other ways of relating to the body, and to life, that can almost instantly relieve the symptoms of a wide range of very common physical issues, and my discoveries have allowed me to help others also become free of theirs. In practicing new relationships, the issues simply fade away, along with the historic complications that put the issue in place, so the natural outcome is nothing less than personal transformation. And this is possible for absolutely anyone that is willing to apply themselves to what I have discovered. I have been sharing my work with people since 1999. Its effectiveness has led me to define my own style (and School) of Yoga: running courses, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. My mission is to spread this work as far as I can, and with the advancement of online technology, this is becoming more possible. I'm fast approaching 60 and I feel like I am at the beginning of my life! and I want to share this possibility with the rest of the world.

The secondary understanding of this principle is that if we can explore and refine the quality of our engagement with the world, then we have the opportunity to witness the body reflecting the changes we are making. Essentially this is direct embodiment of the karmic principle - refining our natural embodied intelligence through our haptic feedback system - directly witnessing the outcome of our actions. What to expect : Over these 6 sessions, I will be guiding you as you explore and refine the quality of a full range of 'kinds' of supportive touch, together with developing the natural deep-core responses of a body that is free of holding patterns. This is the first principle, or condition, that will allow the body mind and breath to become united and entirely confluent in action. Each session will begin with an introduction to the specific theme of the workshop and move into a guided physical practice. The framework will be a few specific key functional movements and yoga postures (and as a participant you can also bring other things you would like to explore to the table). There is usually between 15 and 30 minutes of Q&A, where you will find some of of your own questions might be covered, a summary of the day's principle and its application to both your practice and your life, and usually we have time for a guided deep relaxation. Whether you are a live participant or following this course via the recordings, you can expect your body mapping to improve immensely, and you will discover surprising new connections and relationships, together with subsequent new freedoms in the spine and joints. And as part of your course, you can claim your free 121 time with me to iron out any confusions or specific sticking points in your practice or somatic understanding... on occasion, participants give permission for a particularly enlightening 121 session to be shared with the group - these act as bonus videos for you to watch and take part in. By the end of the course, your body will have changed, and you will have at your fingertips a whole new repertoire of 'how to' in approach to body work of any kind, either for your own practice, or for how you work with others.

I'm fast approaching 60 and I feel like I am at the beginning of my life! and I want to share this possibility with the rest of the world.

Sat, 31 Aug | Online - via Zoom - Registration c/w ticket Your weekly deep dive - A Saturday morning experience with Marc These weekly 2.5hr Saturday re-treats are gentle and deep workshops that build into a flow to explore new relationships to the world in movement and breathing. for Platinum & Gold members. Silver members get 25% discount, and free members get 10% off. Register Now Time & Location 31 Aug 2024, 10:30 – 13:00 BST Online - via Zoom - Registration c/w ticket About The Event Join me for my regular celebration of the body re-treat! These workshops are informal, informative and based on the needs of participants. So feel free to turn up with questions about a particular posture, or an area of the body you have trouble with - anything really and answers to your question will be incorporated in what we practice... And whatever we explore it will be for the discovery and enjoyment of new, natural and harmonious relationships between ourselves and the body, so there is always an approach to postures that means there is a version for everyone from initiate to seasoned teacher... Themes usually build into an elegant flow class that expresses the harmony of the relationships we have uncovered. There is always time for a guided deep relaxation at the end to integrate things. Also if you are a yoga teacher looking for how to run groups online - I have a great deal of experience, and you could pick some tricks up as well as have a deep and meaningful experience. I have been teaching groups of people online and live for over 10 years now, and I have always been surprised at how much I can actually pick up through the screen. A live and interactive place on these workshops means I can respond directly to your questions and your practice, and with the live places limited to just 12, I will be able to see everyone clearly enough on my large screen to be able to pick up on what is needed just as if it was a workshop in a studio. You also get the view of my lovely garden, so you get a 'retreat' feel from being with me as I guide you through your pratice. NB. if you are unable to book a live and interactive place it means these places have sold out, but you can always choose a 'view-only' place - you can still be there for the live event and you still get access to the recording - all for half price. (You must take full responsibility for your own body if you do this though, as Marc won't be able to monitor what is going on for you ).
