GaGa Yoga

Conscious, fluid and creative practice

The contamination of yoga with free movement without the conditioning of alignment. A conscious movement to open the deepest part of our physicality and using the gravitational effect to favour a practice against the current. To improve the ability to work using one's own resources and transforming what is apparently against us, into positivity for a more conscious, fluid and creative practice. Inspired by the work of Ohad Naharin, creator of GaGa People + Dancers movement.

schedule

Day 1

90 min GaGa Yoga
Full-body work focusing on a practice that goes beyond alignments, over the edge of the balance till losing it. The asanas are driven by inner movement leading to think outside the box and approach them from a different perspective.
90 min Introduction to the anatomy of movement
General notion on the muscle behaviour and how it reacts when using the force of gravity in reverse. The short theoretical part is followed by practical exercises on body movement awareness.

Day 2

60 min GaGa movement (1) + 30 min (meditation)
120 min - Letting go / Trust & Awareness
A first part focusing on learning to fall and break the mental control.
A series of techniques allowing the body to let go without resistance while breaking the natural instinct to control the fall.
A second part focused on group work. Letting go the control by relying on others, e.g. letting oneself fall or reacting to others' stimulus - a physical touch and letting the body be autonomous in response.
120 min - develop a GaGa yoga sequence
Group experience and experiment aiming of bringing the groups' work together in a single GaGa Yoga practice
