Reduce your stress with this one hour yoga class
During this class, given by J Ryan Carroll, one moves from a sensory awareness of the physical body, to a progression of specific breath work, which activates and stimulates the nervous system. The focus is on inspired imagery and rhythmical structure. Through flowing movements, the class progresses with a series of standing, seated, lying and again standing sequences, concluding with an acknowledgement of oneself and the space around. Each person is brought back to the reality of both their external surroundings and their inner self. Yoga Narada® will not be the standard yoga class you might be used to from a Hatha Yoga. Yoga Narada® focusses on exercises that move continuously and fluidly.
11:00 - 12:00 Yoga Narada®
12:00 - 12:30 Q&A. During this 30 minutes you’re given the chance to ask questions.
Yoga Narada® (formerly Hilary Cartwright Yoga for Dancers) awakens the senses, stimulates the nervous system, and activates the body using breath. Moving fluidly through sequences, physical and mental blocks dissolve away, allowing the body to open up in new ways. Dancers and non dancers are welcome, because experience in yoga is not required and every body will feel the benefits.
Hilary Cartwright was a soloist with the Royal Ballet, and went on the become a ballet mistress and repetiteur. She and Juliu Horvath founded White Cloud Studio in New York. She spent over 25 years developing her own style of yoga that incorporates elements of Kundalini and Hatha techniques, as well as Taoist principles. Hilary's unique approach is now being taught by a select group of trainers to a wide range of students, including seniors and dancers at Paris Opera Ballet and American Ballet Theatre.
