About The Event
Friday, 21 February
7:30-9:30pm - Lijun The Budokon Yoga practice is slow and challenging with an emphasis on strength, fluidity and deliberateness in the transitions between poses. In this session we will explore its unique techniques including spinal waves, mobility flows, and the martial arts-influenced expression of the asana.
Saturday, 22 February
10:00am-12:00pm - Philippa Move beyond the parameters of a yoga mat by exploring the playfulness of Budokon Mobility and free-form movement. Learn and understand quadrupedal movement patterns that translate into both the BDK Yoga and BDK Calisthenics approach. With movement led by energetic circles and momentum, begin to piece together chains of fluid transitions. (Long sleeve/rash guard and socks required).
12:00-1:00PM — Lunch break
1:00-3:00pm - Fabien
Calisthenics is a form of exercise where you use the weight of your own body to increase strength, mobility, flexibility, agility, and endurance. The word calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words "kalos" ("beauty") and "sthenos" ("strength").
Calisthenics places emphasis on strength development, demonstrated by controlled transitions. The BDK Calisthenics style combines classical body weight training with animal locomotion for mobility, martial arts for stamina, and yoga for flexibility.
