Home, a Dwelling Place

The gentle undulation that comes while searching for effortless alignments is a valid tool in activating the navel, which clears the excessive noise gathered within it. When time, attentiveness and touch are given to this area, quietness enters and clarity naturally follows. Returning home, a dwelling place.

The Whole Body Breathing - Sandra Sabatini & Michal Havkin

The Workshop

The workshop will incorporate some Feldenkrais movements facilitating a playful and different experience of yoga positions. The unfolding of the body will go along with the unfolding of the breath supported by a slow and meditative approach

Sandra Sabatini

Sandra Sabatini is a world renowned yoga teacher and was the primary student of Vanda Scaravelli for 18 years. Sandra believes 'Learning no longer comes from wanting to reach a goal or fulfil an aim but from a gradual unfolding, an effortless blossoming'

The key to this unfolding is the breath; and in Sandra's hands, awareness of the breath becomes a radical and intensely powerful tool capable of stripping away tension, tightness and toxins, and restoring the body and mind to balance.

Michal Havkin

Michal Havkin has over three decades of experience dancing professionally in Israel and around the world. These roots, woven in with her long-term study with Sandra, support the discovery of new levels of awareness and minute changes within the body.

Sandra and Michal have been teaching together for the past 18 years and share an interest in exploring movements and breath. Throughout the sessions they will divide the teaching between them, with practices that complement each other.

Knighton Parish Centre, Church Lane, Knighton, Leicester. LE2 3WG

spirals around the spine

spirals around the spine

  • Botanic Garden, Beaumont House (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

"We have to avoid angular movements and adopt circular, spiral ones. As flies and bees do when aiming for a definite spot. The body will accept round movements, born from the spine, and therefore leading to a total action. This kind of spiral gesture penetrates in depth and can bring about unexpected results.”
