DAY ONE WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION  30 March 2019
This class is an introduction to Ashtanga Yoga. It is open to all levels of experience.
Ashtanga Yoga will be explored through the foundational elements of Tristana: Ujjayi pranayama (Breathing technique), Bandhas (energy locks), Drishti (looking focus), as well as the importance of the Vinyasa count. Through these tools practitioners develop good control of the senses and can achieve deeper states of mind and awareness. With regular practice ashtanga yoga practitioners develop steadiness of body and mind.
Lavinia will guide the group through a moving meditation into the Primary Series of ashtanga, the building foundation of this practice and maybe the most important of the series.
If you are not familiar with the more challenging postures there is no need to be scared of them! Lavinia will introduce alternatives to some of the more challenging asanas as well as offer user-friendly vinyasa options. The afternoon class will take you on a journey into learning how to safely and bravely access backbending asanas. We will execute a series of backbends, start slowly and go in deep, developing a common vocabulary and an understanding of basic alignment. There will be time at the end of the flow to enjoy a soothing, deep relaxation.

DAY TWO WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION 31 March 2019
Day 2 you will be introduced to the essentials of pranayama, including posture, suspension, balance and absorption. You will learn a potent sequence of pranayama and subtle body visualization that you can explore endlessly on your own. In the second part of the day, you will be guided to find your own flow in the practice.
One of the greatest challenges and main ingredients of the Ashtanga flow is the vinyasa. In this class Lavinia will break down the vinyasa into its basic components.
The class will also explore the elements of inversions and arm-balances. It is common to feel intimidated or even frightened to balance on our hands. Lavinia will offer techniques and practical methods of approach to allow for greater confidence and ability that can be carried away and applied within a personal practice.
Alternatives and intermediate steps how to build strength in the practice are always given. In this session, Lavinia will explain the more dynamic movement patterns of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, such as jumping back and jumping through.

ABOUT THE TEACHER – Lavinia Elise Parcalab
I was born and raised in Romania, but I consider myself a citizen of the world. In the last 10 years I have been living and working in Tunisia, Poland and now Sweden. After graduating in business and living the corporate life for a few years, I realized I was still on a journey, searching for my life purpose. This journey led to trading business suits
and offices for yoga pants and bare feet, eventually creating a new lifestyle. I didn’t know in the beginning how deep this journey is going to be and that in fact I was searching for my authentic self.
In 2015 I founded Unfold Your Mat in Gothenburg, Sweden with the intention to dedicate myself fulltime to practicing and teaching yoga. For me yoga is a tool that helps me to dig more into the mysteries of the human mind and life itself. Through my classes I am hoping to manage to guide people to find their own inner strength and to
be brave to discover and bring to the world their authentic self. As a person I am curious and inquisitive. I love to explore, learn, test different ideas and I try to approach things with an open minded attitude. Through my yoga practice I discover that we all have infinite potential and power to make this world a better place.
We just have to discover it and then bring our gifts into this world.
My daily practice is ashtanga yoga, which has brought so many positive changes and valuable reflections to my life. However I like to get inspiration from other styles and practices, as initially I have been practicing other methods before dedicating myself to ashtanga. I am doing my best to teach from my own experience and I use my
knowledge and intuition in order to adapt the practice according to the unique student.

Through my teaching I’m hoping to guide my students how to become the masters of their own life and learn how to connect more with their own intuition and heart. That for me is yoga. And when we share from that source, everything starts to flow.
