YOGA WORKSHOP WITH GODFREY DEVEREUX
ABERDEEN : 2/3 NOVEMBER 2019
Born in 1956, Godfrey Devereux is author of many popular books and videos including Dynamic Yoga, and Hatha Yoga Breath By Breath. Practicing as the basis of his life since 1973, he began teaching in 1978, fulltime teaching in 1988. Having studied directly with B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune, B.N.S Iyengar of Mysore and Zen Master Soten Genpo Roshi, his primary teacher has been the wisdom of life functioning in his own bodimind and those of his students. In 1992 He founded The Life Centre Yoga Studio in London, where yoga began to pour across cultural barriers and into the European mainstream. Since 1996 he has been conducting workshops and retreats worldwide, and running the Windfire Yoga residential training school in Ibiza, Italy, France and currently in Portugal.
Godfrey uses the Dynamic Yoga Training Method to invite students to access the deepest possibilities of being human. This is a pragmatic approach to yoga based on intimate awareness of the impacts of actions being taken in expression and support of the inherent intelligence of the body.
If you are interested in yoga, then this workshop is not to be missed.
Friday 01st November – Free talk: 7 pm – 9pm – City Centre location – t.b.c.
WHAT IS YOGA?

Sunday 03rd November: 10am – 3pm
GOING DEEPER
This wholeness of yoga extends from the body, through the breath to consciousness. This one-day workshop will present the powerful thread that begins with postures, ripens through pranayama and flowers in the deep stillness of meditation.
