Inversions and backbending workshop with Lotta Sebzda

Lotta Sebzda is a 53 years old mother of two adult children and also a grandmother to a grandson. When she was a little girl she was never standing still. She was upside down most of the time, doing gymnastics for many years and later dance, ballet and step. So starting with ashtanga yoga after giving birth to her children was like coming home again. She has been practicing ashtanga yoga for almost twenty years now and started her practice with Gittan Hendele, who was one of the first in Sweden teaching ashtanga yoga.

She follows the Mysore style as Pattabhi Jois recommended. And now his grandson Sharath Jois. During her years of studying and practicing Ashtanga Yoga, she have has been following teachers like. Lino Miele, Petri Räisänen, Frank Kappas, Kino McGregor, Dena Kingsberg, Natalia Paisano, Ursula Scott, Tim Feldmann, Sharath jois...and few more....

Lotta is very active on her Instagram profile (@lottasebzdayoga) where she reached 153.000 followers by sharing her daily practice and tips for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

This is her first time coming to Prague to give a workshop so sign up so you don’t miss practicing with this inspiring woman!

TIMETABLE:

Saturday/ 16. 11. 2019


 9.00 - 11.30 Mysore/led Ashtanga yoga with adjustments 

Mysore style is a self paced practice where you work in relationship with your teacher. The student will learn the system at his or her own pace with guidance and support. This is the best way to learn Ashtanga Yoga, and the perfect starting point for beginners. Rather than being led through the sequence, you will be aided in memorizing the poses over time, cultivating a consistent practice, and practicing independently.

11.30 - 12.30 Lunch break (possibility to buy a vegan lunch (soup + main dish) and eat it at YogaMe, price: 150 CZK) 

12.30 - 14.30 Hip openers and shoulder stretch and strength 
Our hips are important if we want to have a good backbend and also have the flexibility through our practice. There is so much tension we need to get rid off from our hips. We get easily tension in our shoulders. Tips on what we can do to avoid the tension with good stretches for the everyday-life.

14.30 - 15.00 Break 

15.00 - 17.00 Handstand - inversions with core strength and shoulder strength stretch 
Starting of with core-work to make sure we will stay upside down steady. ‬‪We will make our shoulders secure and strong. ‬
