🌟Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga ® (CSV®) 300hr Teacher
CSV® (created by American Sadie Nardini) is a fresh, modern & non-linear approach to yoga that is intuitive as well as great fun. It includes Eastern and Western philosophy and influenced by different styles of Yoga. CSV® uses next generation anatomy, biomechanics, physics, myofascial muscle meridian system and fitness. CSV® includes a system called the '4 foundations' and the 'wave' to direct energy up and along the deep core line of the body to improve the effectiveness into transitions and postures, and to express more fully with ease and invite more space into the body. CSV® isn't a 'one size fits all' as it allows for different body shapes and sizes to benefit. Poses and transitions can be modified or intensified depending on the the levels of fitness, age and ability of a student who is then encouraged to navigate what helps their body feel fully supported. CSV® (unless stated) is usually a mixed level class. A great emphasis of the class is to release outer body tightness . This is achieved in the way of strengthening along the whole body core and helping to rebalance a relationship between muscle fascia and joints. CSV® utilises the most effective breath method that will help to release and support in movement, strengthening the core and releasing any unwanted blocked energy to flow more freely. CSV® moves away from the predictable and the linear patterns of traditional yoga and instead embraces movement that is intuitive, joyous and sets us free to flourish. You literally can't get anything 'wrong' as you are encouraged to move in your own way to the own rhythm of your breath and body. When practiced regularly, this system can revolutionise our sense of movement, space and awareness, not just on the mat but in everyday life also. By applying the 4 foundations that are key to this practice you can expect to get stronger, more agile, improve mobility, less aches and pains, increased fitness levels, a release of feel good endorphins and a more harmonious and happy nervous system.
🌟The CSV® method I teach weaves itself into all of my offerings from stronger classes to the more gentle restorative/somatic practices. For more information on local classes/workshops and questions, please message me.
