Athletic Challenge Workshop at The Source Cape Town

Learn about mindful movement and ways that athletes can avoid injury at this educational event.

The Source Cape Town, a movement studio based in Constantia, will be giving a three-hour workshop on various sports and their specific movements on Friday, 9 June 2017. This is a learning workshop aimed at teachers of Yoga and Pilates to enable them to give their clients more sport specific training and exercises. Various sports require particular movements and running, swimming, rotational sports, and stretching, will be some of the physical activities focused on. The idea is that developing movement patterns and muscle strength is key for athletes to avoid injury when playing sport that is demanding and strenuous. The exercises designed by the partners at The Source serve this purpose.

Obtaining a centred and strong body and mind is a large part of The Source’s philosophy, as well as increasing your knowledge and practice of yoga. Constantia’s greenery and  beauty affords attendees a general peace and quiet from the city surrounds. This makes The Source a perfect place for exercising the body and practising mindfulness and meditation, as students are taken through physical practices.

Transformation events are held regularly to inspire people to reframe and revitalise their lives. These events can be tutorials, classes and weekly sessions organised by one of The Source’s partners, Bryan McDonell. Weekly Mindful Mondays happen in the evenings and are informal dialogue sessions around a topic chosen by one of the four head members of The Source. The topics range from finding joy in life to meditation and truthful speaking. These sessions have no set fee but donation are accepted

The Source also gives tutorials on such topics as Chanting and Mantras, Modifications for Yoga Asanas, Transformation and Integration and more. These are often valuable to instructors and practitioners of Yoga and Pilates who want to to develop their skills and know-how for their teaching.

As of 1 June 2017, The Source has also announced that they will be offering Yoga by Donation, a great way to make Yoga, a practice that can be life-changing in terms of its benefits to the mind, mood and body, more accessible to people.
