Having trained for over seven years in the Vanda Scaravelli approach to yoga, Coquelicot has refined her ability to track where energy and movement is flowing or not flowing through your body. Through her highly attuned awareness she will help you sense into and enliven your relationship to your body structures and your practice, helping you avoid injury and safely increase your movement range. Yoga should be an effortless practice of body unfoldment, joy and beauty.
In yoga, as in life, it is easy to mistake willpower for discipline. When we muscle our way into a posture some parts of our bodies overcompensate, leaving behind the given up parts of ourselves; it’s not a whole movement, it’s a compensated movement. This can lead to injury and distorted cooperation between muscle systems in the body. Coquelicot helps people embody the asanas more fully, by spending 10 to 20 minutes on each posture, slowly opening the spine into its full articulation. When all our limbs are awake and alive in concert with our spine, every posture works in cooperation with gravity and becomes light and effortless. From this place of openness. This opens another way to negotiate shock and trauma patterns through the vehicle of your physical body.
Restorative Touchwork: I use touch to help you become more present in your body as you do the yoga postures. Through intelligent touch you will reestablish a healthy vibrancy, cooperation, pulsation and flexibility in your bones, tissues and organs….Changing your energetic embodiment so that you can loosen up stuck energy and vital life force. Your body will move more freely and radiate more grace and vitality.
