I'm always interested in keeping my teaching skills fresh and there is no better way to do this than to attend workshops and seminars presented by my peers. I attended Anne-Marie McGlinchy's yoga seminar, which was hosted by Yoga Therepy Ireland, on Saturday the 2nd of November 2013 at the Marino Institute in Griffith Avenue Dublin. What a treat it was - as Anne-Maries workshops always are.
She has an impressive 40 years of teaching as a yoga teacher under her belt and she embodies the best of what yoga is about. Her workshop proved that sometimes less is more and my shoulders, biceps and triceps really felt like they had been worked out the day after the workshop, despite the deceptively simple yet exact nature of the movements we did at the workshop.
We also looked at how to connect into the energy of our body's chakra system with a particular focus on the 3rd Solar Plexus chakra (seat of self power) and the 4th Heart chakra (seat of unconditional love of self and others). The meditation and focus on these chakras during our yoga practise brought about a wonderful release of trapped energy or tension in the body with the end result I was feeling very uplifted, open and re-juvenated at the end of the day.
