"Yoga AUTUMN Course"—Overall Aim
As a
yoga teacher, I'm fully committed towards creating a stimulating
learning environment where students experience a
form of yoga that is safe yet challenging in more ways than one.
One of my key principles is that a regular practice is the only way to achieve results with yoga. This inevitably leads the student to the topic of developing a regular home practice.
The overall aim of the YOGA AUTUMN COURSE, therefore, is to prepare the student for a safe and beneficial personal yoga practice, i.e. yoga activity 'in between classes'.

Course Content
During
the course, students
will develop a sound
understanding of approximately 15 key yoga
postures, as well as various core principles of yoga practice.
Examples of such 'core principles' are: the relationship between breath & movement, directional breathing, static & dynamic postures, sequence building, home practice, the role of the teacher, energetic effects of practice, and long term development goals of yoga practice.

Equally
important, students are
taught how to move into and
out of the postures safely, how to modify them, and how to use the
breath in the most optimal way. This provides a solid basis for further
yoga studies and practice.
Gradually, breathing and meditation techniques will be introduced as well. 'Yoga' involves a lot more than posture work, in fact, it's only a small portion of it. So with Luc, you're set on a path that—over longer periods of time and depending on your interests & needs—might even expose you to Patańjali's philosophy or vedic chanting. |
"YOGA IS ONE of the most extraordinary spiritual sciences that mankind has ever discovered. It is like a gem of great proportions, containing many facets whose light can illuminate the whole of our lives with great meaning." David Frawley |

My
classes follow a progressive path, whereby new ideas get introduced
gradually. Ideas build on each other and are approached
from various
angles,
giving the student an opportunity to deepen his or her understanding
and appreciate the richness of the approach taken to yoga.
Classes
will be adjusted to the time of year
(seasons) and time of day.
Consequently, my second evening class will be gentler than the one
offered at 6:00 p.m., as the body and mind at that point are naturally
beginning to
prepare for a night's rest. So let's work with, rather than against
that.
At times, parts of my classes will be interactive. There will be ample silence, too, creating space for people to explore the subtle messages that body and mind are giving. When the senses and the mind are quiet, real in-sights can arise.
In the interest of the group's progression, only students that sign up for a full term (10 classes) are accepted. This isn't any different from, say, taking French language classes.
The group size is deliberately kept small, with a maximum of 8 students (Monday class) and 14 (Tuesday class). This allows sufficient personal attention and the flexibility needed to adjust the class to the needs of the students.
Students receive at the end of each class a written summary with the key yoga concepts introduced during the session—along with some ideas to help develop a home practice, or 'points to ponder on'.
