Hañsa therapy in movement - therapeutic flow
MoveWell are hosting & co-teaching three weekend workshops this year to explore Hañsa therapeutic flow as a yoga-based movement practice that is underpinned by functional movement patterns.
How you move is an expression of who you are…
The way we move in Hañsa therapeutic flow is…
‘designed to support optimal movement, performance and postural function with greater ease’
Eastern (yoga & ayurveda) & Western (biomechanical, scientific) thinking inform the practice by deconstructing ‘traditional’ yoga asana (shapes), vinyasa (transition, or flow), pramayama (breath patterns), and meditation (awareness & focus) to reveal the essence of yoga as a human movement form.
The experience of practicing Hañsa therapeutic flow and understanding the biomechanical rhythms within movement creates the opportunity to explore functionality, integration and balance in the way we move.
Our first workshop - Advancing flow - is on 4 & 5 April at MoveWell, Christchurch
Taught by Vincent Bolletta (founder of Hañsa yoga & Hañsa therapy®) & Jane Hardcastle (MoveWell yoga therapist) the 2-day workshop will be dedicated to developing practice in Hañsa therapeutic flow.
During the weekend (10 am - 5.30 pm, Saturday & Sunday) you can expect to:
Experience the functional benefits of Hañsa yoga as a movement form with guided practice
Explore the rationale underpinning flow sequencing to deepen understanding of biomechanical rhythms & functionality
Discuss the relevance and appropriateness of movements to investigate & adapt the yoga model to suit individual function on physical, mental and energetic levels
Discover personal movement habits in a way that increases awareness, attention and exploration in your future practice .
Embody therapeutic flow sequencing in self-practice as a foundation for your personal practice and, if relevant, teaching others (it is not necessary to be a yoga teacher to attend)
Workshops are suitable for yoga or movement practitioners, teachers or students with an interest in functional movement patterns, creative sequencing and easeful expression of self.

Each of the three NZ workshops include a Hañsa flow sequence that is specifically designed to express a fundamental therapeutic concept:

7 & 8 November - Patterns of flow
