Alpha-gravity Festival in Bali, 15 January 2018

Marathon of Alpha-gravity Masters

Alpha-gravity is the newest technology for developing physical health and emotional stability. Alpha-gravity sessions bring a person to a balance of strength and flexibility. Alpha-gravity training takes place in an unsupported space, which ensures the maximum engagement of the person’s body and attention, hence AG gives the highest possible efficiency from a workout in the minimum time. AG activates not only the physical but also the immune and hormonal systems, providing a high level of health and a wonderful shape to those training in a very short time: two weeks to a month of regular sessions, and the body acquires a defined relief and slimness.

The Masters’ Marathon in Bali is a space in a very soulful place on the planet, created for an active exchange of experience between those who have long practised and taught Alpha-gravity in different regions of the world and those who want to try themselves in it. It is a unique opportunity to meet so many professional Alpha-gravity instructors in one place, and to be charged with an impulse to master new possibilities of your body.

Those who practise Alpha-gravity joke that a person’s life is divided into two parts: before and after Alpha-gravity.

The intensive will also include the official certification of masters, with the issuing of the corresponding Diplomas registered in the Alpha-gravity Association.

The Alpha-gravity Masters’ Marathon in Bali involves immersion in the following topics:

• The basics of anatomy and physiology.
• Working with people with health conditions and injuries.
• Techniques of motivation in training that inspire you to do more.

  

• Techniques of deep relaxation, correct breathing and quality of attention.
• Five self-sufficient reasons to practise Alpha-gravity. And the five directions of Alpha-gravity.

Related practices:

CI – Contact Improvisation – came from the martial art of aikido and contemporary dance. CI – took the most valuable from these practices: the inertia of unpredictable movement, and contact. Just like Alpha-gravity, Contact Improvisation uses gravity as a steady training force for building up your body.

CI brings you back to presence in the Here and Now.
CI brings the inner dialogue to a stop.
CI is creativity in movement and bodily comfort in contact with others.

CI sessions give – a lightness in your attitude to life, endow you with the ability to feel the flow, develop steadiness of attention, awaken the boldness and curiosity of an explorer. This technique excellently complements Alpha-gravity and increases the skill of contact and of feeling yourself and your clients on the ropes.

Hatha Yoga with Elements of Ashtanga Vinyasa. Led by Leila Seymour. An international certificate from an Indian school (Rishikesh, northern India) in the tradition of Pattabhi Jois. The practice includes several blocks:

1. Balance and endurance (a set of asanas to strengthen the back, arms and abs)
2. A healthy back (a set of asanas aimed at stretching the spinal column in order to straighten it and relieve intervertebral compression).

   

3. Flexibility (a set of asanas aimed at strengthening health and developing the flexibility of the whole body).
4. Slimness and strength (a set of asanas aimed at strengthening the legs, buttocks and back).

Holotropic breathwork is a technique of intense, connected breathing that increases life energy and opens new possibilities of the body and psyche. It is an effective way to find clarity and inspiration, to let go of physical blocks and tensions, suppressed emotions and limiting beliefs. It is a journey into the deeper aspects of your Self, allowing us to reveal our potential more intensely and fully, and to become free.

Techniques of deep relaxation:

Thanatotherapy – gives the skill of deep relaxation and correct breathing – this lets you manage your state and reactions when you meet overloads; instead of resisting at points of discomfort, you develop acceptance, gaining access to your new abilities and deep states.

Body work – these are supporting techniques (massage and asanas, breathing exercises) that allow you, after training, to integrate the sensations in the body. To feel collectedness, clarity, wholeness in the renewed states of body and mind, and to gain readiness to apply the new you in life.
