Budokon is a mind and body art form inspired by the ancient traditions of Yoga, Martial Arts, Zen Meditation and the study of animal movement.

The yogic practice is focused on control, calm, strength and precision, working to improve range of motion and strength. The martial arts practice teaches agility, power, focus and flow in the body and mind. The animal movements reconnect us with our true nature, restoring kinetic skills lost in evolution.

FRIDAY MARCH 2ND, 18.00-20.30
Power and Agility

This class moves at a rapid pace seamlessly transitioning from the ground to standing, from yoga to martial arts, from acceleration to deceleration. Come and see what the two most ancient art forms merged together into one synergistic expression looks and feels like. Perfect for yogis, martial artists and athletes looking to raise the bar.

 
SATURDAY MARCH 3RD, 10.00-12.00
Strength and Balance

If you love to play upside down and defy gravity or just really want to learn how, this class will blow your fears away. If you would like to learn or perfect handstands, arm & leg balances and floating, the answers are in this class. This class builds arm, shoulder and leg strength while creating great range of motion in hamstrings and hips.

SATURDAY MARCH 3RD, 13.00-15.00
The Art of Transition

In this workshop we will explore Budokon, yoga asana and mixed martial arts techniques, focusing on cultivating body awareness and transitions between postures. As much of a yoga practice is spent moving from one asana to another, our focus will instead be on the in-between stages: entering and existing a posture with so much mindfulness and precision that the technique becomes the transition itself.

SUNDAY MARCH 4TH, 10.00-12.00
Flow and Flexibility

If you love power or Vinyasa flow yoga and want to see their evolutionary potential, this is the workshop for you. Budokon’s dynamic blend of traditional and contemporary yoga asana and martial arts builds upon the yoga practitioner’s base knowledge of traditional Hatha yoga while challenging the practitioner to push past conventional yogic practices.

SUNDAY MARCH 4TH, 13.00-15.00
Intro to the Budokon Academy

Take your training up a notch, with insight to MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) application to the practice, including the Kata of the first belt in the system.

A Series of Ashtanga Yoga Classes

with

Scott Johnson

30 September – 2 October 2011

Karma Yoga Studio : Douglas : Isle of Man

Scott Johnson is back at Karma! Scott is running a 3 day series of workshops here at Karma Studios on the 30th September to the 2nd of October 2011. Scott’s classes will be expanding on the concept of “Atha”, the first word of the Yoga sutras and many other ancient texts. The meaning behind this word is one of the keys to understanding the strength, grace and vitality of Yoga and ultimately its realisation.

These workshops will include all aspects of Yoga practice ( asana, pranayama, philosophy) and include taking an extensive look at the Primary and Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

Ashtanga Yoga Workshops

….and so we begin again

Practice, Practice and all is coming

 Friday 30th Sept 2011 : 6:00-8:30pm : £35

Sri K Patthabi Jois quotes many, now legendary, sayings. Practice, practice and all is coming is one of them and this class will expand on the meaning of that saying. We will set the tone for the weekend by discovering what actually a yoga practice is, and the elements that underpin the system. We will practice a gentle half primary series that allows for the foundational aspects of the asana to flower within your experience.

99% Practice : 1% Theory

Saturday 1st October 2011 : 10:00am – 1:00pm : £40

Theorising and understanding yoga is important. However, practice is the key element that brings the experience of yoga into your life so the real meaning of this quote will be realised in this class. It will include Kriyas, a full counted vinyasa primary series, pranayama practice and meditation. This class will not be suitable for beginners.

Teacher Technique

Saturday 1st October 2011 : 2:00pm – 4:00pm : £30

What does it mean to teach yoga, What attributes do you look for in yourself to be able to want to expand this outward to other people in a way that informs and inspires with integrity to the teachings of yoga. We will look at what it means to teach, aspects of methods of teaching different people, and also look at one of the most important aspects of teaching: seeing patterns. Your students and your own. We will also look at how this all relates to peoples bodies, and how we can help people realise the practice of yoga, right from their very first class.

Yoga Therapy & Nerve Cleansing 

….Moving Toward The Intermediate Series

Sunday 2nd October 2011 : 10:00am – 1:00pm : £40

 The primary series is known as Yoga Chikitsa or yoga therapy, the practice of which leads the physical body to begin to align, detoxify and shed layers of gross and subtle elements. Once the practitioner has developed a regular and devoted practice to the primary series then the intermediate series, or Nadi Shodana, can begin, which begins to work on the more subtle aspects of the body the nerves or nadis. Increased strength and flexibility is required to become proficient within this part of the system so we will take a look at the key aspects of the Primary series and see how they inform the next stage of evolution within the Ashtanga system, Nadi Shodana. This class will not be suitable for beginners.

Can you be in a pose rather than do a pose?

In yoga one must do less to be more

We will explore the fundamentals of yoga to facilitate the process of enabling the body to work holistically with its own inherent energies. The deeper the energetic alignment, the less effort required & the easier it is to find inner balance. Drawing on bio mechanical, anatomical & energetic principles of the body we will observe how a pose is working for you & look at ways to deepen the breath,develop increased vitality,strength, stability and foundation. We will use traditional practices, Vinyasa,Sun & Moon salutations,Kriyas & Pranayama to build a sustaining yoga practice. Lots of individual attention & good quality adjustments will be offered & there will be opportunity for discussion.
