On Sunday afternoon, during the Yoga Teacher Training course at the Sun Oasis spiritual academy in Northern Italy, once the Yoga Teacher Training was over, we enjoyed a three-hour mountain walk, including the turquoise Lake Tenno. The autumn colours are spectacular at this time of year.

I took four of my own Yoga Teacher Trainees to participate in the Yoga Teacher Training course at the Sun Oasis spiritual academy in Northern Italy.
Here Lizzie is demonstrating Matsyasana, The Fish, during the session outside. The big rocks in the meadow remind us that we are in the Dolomites.

🆕 The breath in the upper sides

In this class we explore the connection between activity from the 3rd energy centre, manipura chakra, the breath in the supper sides of the body, just below the armpits, and the spine. We practise lifting the thorax away from the pelvis, feel the breath in our upper-sides, and notice how this brings a natural enlivening of the whole spine.

Poses include: surya namaskar, the sun-prayer anantasana, the side lying triangle parivrtta tuladandasana, the side scales, and parivrtta trikonasana, the twisted triangle

In practising the yoga movements we stretch and energise the body. You will quickly experience various health benefits:
Your spine will become stronger and more flexible and your posture will improve.
Your energy levels will increase and you will feel both calmer and more alert.

But in addition to the immediate physical and mental benefits, through yoga we can develop a longer term inner strength that can help us to become more resilient and take charge of our lives.

This beginners course will give you a first sense of how this works.

Week-by-week you will gain confidence in your practice as you learn and repeat the movements, and understand their principles more fully .

We were blessed with beautiful sunny autumn weather on the yoga teacher training course in Italy. On one afternoon we split into small groups so that more of the participants could practise their teaching. The mountain meadow in which the Sun Oasis academy is situated has many suitable areas for working outdoors. Here, one of the participants is teaching Halasana, The Plough.
