2016 Byron Spirit Festival

John will start the session with a brief introduction to Purna Yoga and how it incorporates the philosophy of the 8 limbs from the Yoga Sutras. He is exceptionally skillful at making pertinent links between yoga practice and living a holistic and happy life. Following the short introduction John will guide participants through a dynamic sequence of Purna Yoga asana offering variations for the less experienced and for those with more yoga years. Purna Yoga is classical alignment focused hatha yoga, developed by John Ogilvie over his 30 years experience with the different styles of Ashtanga and Iyengar. John is not only the founder of Purna yoga but also the director of the Byron Yoga retreat Centre and continues to refine his teaching skills with the retreat guests and yoga teacher trainees. John has done substantial research on the chakras and their connection to our endocrine system. This dynamic sequence balances the chakras, addressing hormonal imbalances, opening the heart and leaving you feeling energised and joyful!
