Lumos Yoga Centre, Saburtalo, Tbilisi, Georgia

with Devaraj; non-residential; 430 GEL (160 USD)

If you want to create deep change in your life, you have to work with the body. This is because all of our traumas and conditioning, all of our past, is held in the body. Making changes to how you think and the things that you believe is fine. But it will only create change on the surface, not deep down. Working with the body is intense; you have to be ready for powerful experiences; but it is spontaneous and exciting too!

In this weekend workshop, there will be 5 sessions, each with a different style of body-based therapy technique. The techniques that you will learn, you will also be able to do at home later on.

Friday evening: Basic emotional expression using gibberish, shaking, dance and more.

Saturday morning: Bioenergetics – working with posture, breath and sensation to remove holding patterns and energetic blocks.

Saturday afternoon: Reichian Segmental Armouring and Pelvic Release – we will work with the bands of armour identified by Wilhelm Reich that run laterally around the body and then move into working with the pelvis on the mat.

Sunday morning; Emotional Expression – we will work with expressing anger face-to-face and other forms of cathartic expression.

Sunday afternoon: Rebirthing – this is a breathwork technique done lying down on a mat. I will guide you into a style of deep breathing that takes you back into a womb-like experience where trauma can naturally be released.

This will a weekend of deep body-based therapy. There will be time to ask Dev questions and share about your experience too. Lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday will be 1.5 – 2 hours to allow time for processing. If you have a history of significant mental health issues, please email Dev before just to make sure that this workshop will be okay for you – devaraj227@gmail.com
