 Do
your non-yoga friends look at your yoga books and laugh at some
of the pictures? Do your parents despair that your mind has been
taken over by some cult devoted to strange twisting acrobatics
with an unseemly interest in eating vegetables? Do you awake
from dreams of doing asanas that are blatantly impossible or
which you know you are not yet able to do? It's clear - you're
either an alien or a weird creature and this preposterous class
is exactly the sort of practice you need right now! Weird
inversions, bizarre looking adaptations of traditional postures,
vinyasas that belong in an early episode of Star Trek - and
all of it incredibly beautiful!
The practice of
Tripsichore techniques is for anyone interested in expanding the
potential of yoga. Some previous yoga experience is recommended
because we do work with advanced asanas, although those fairly
new to yoga will find the workshop safe, accessible, and
entertaining. We analyze technical approaches to breathing,
backbends, and inverted work, all with the aim of explaining and
exploring how energy flows through the body to create the forms
and shapes. Then, we focus on the expressive potential of
advanced backbends, Tripsichore Sun Salutations, and inverted
postures that we learn to transform into the choreography of
Tripsichore Yoga Theatre.
Unhindered by dogma, yet
firm believers in technical discipline and safety, we teach
really spectacular postures in a way that is respectful of their
place in Yoga practice as well as their expressive power. Yoga
Theatre is unquestionably a way of pushing forward one's Yoga
practice.

EDWARD CLARK

Edward Clark began studying yoga in 1979. He is the creator of
Tripsichore yoga Theatre, and noteworthy among his teachers are
Narayani and Giris Rabinovitch, but he confesses huge admiration
for the Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda, Iyengar and Viniyoga
practices. He fuses his keen artistic vision with a deep
understanding of the essential pursuit of yoga practice. With
one foot in dance, one foot in Ashtanga and Sivananda he has synthesized
the use of breath, asana, choreography and
philosophy. His classes are entertaining, demanding and
exhilarating.
Based
in London, England, "Tripsichore Yoga Theatre" is one of the most
extraordinary movement innovations to emerge from the yoga
discipline. This contemplative style of movement theatre is a
sensual exploration of spirituality that unites the mind and the
body. The breath guides the body through a safe, fluid flow of
postures that creates stunningly spectacular visual poetry. It
is both a fun and an orthodox practice that respects the
technical and safe aspects of traditional yoga.
