Level up, reset your flow, and go deeper into your practice with Vinyasa legend, Duncan Wong
Discover and rediscover his unique and effective Warrior Yoga Flow system
10.03. Friday - 12.03. Sunday
**
In the lovely space of Northern Light Yoga studio in gorgeous Oslo City, after a two-year sabbatical, a crazy, sexy, cool, and warm welcome to practice again in person with Sensei Duncan Wong.
Duncan is thrilled to return and practice with the Viking tribal Sangha of YogicArts™️, co-harmonizing in interbeingness, while refreshing and revitalizing in this regenerative practice; a practice that evolves each time we gather and grow together.
We extend a warm welcome to new and old students who have never practiced with Duncan Sensei before, or have experienced his magic touch and are returning to practice with a desire to grow and deepen their practice and experience.
This course and stand-alone sessions will reveal the knowledge about the therapeutic side (yoga chikitsa) of flow (vinyasa), breath (prana), and core (bandha); learning the foundation of YogicArts™️.
**
What is YogicArts™️:
Duncan created the YogicArts™️ vinyasa system from his lifelong 30 years of yoga experience, as an interdisciplinary fusion of Yoga, Martial Arts, and Thai massage. The system was born from the desire to move through yoga positions with more ease and grace and to transcend any borders between disciplines, systems, and people. It is a heart-healing and mindful body practice and a living system that evolves each time people practice it together.

What will you learn:
In these fun & explorative days with Duncan Sensei, you will learn more in depth about:
how to engage/activate your core for bandha with Wave Motion technique
learn alignment behind the pose
understand sequencing with Warrior Flow (Vira Vinyasa Krama)
learn how to do arm balancing with Slide Press technique
learn how to release body tension with simple self assists and Thai massage
Duncan will teach several options for each posture and movement that will allow beginner-level practitioners to join in and benefit from the practice, and experienced practitioners and teachers will learn how to provide variations of poses for their students, while increasing their skill-set.
In the alignment & assist part of the workshops, you will learn how alignment and structure are the key components to opening joint mobility and activating the supporting core muscles. As a result of alignment, we get a stable and comfortable posture and practice, which is a natural flow state, called Sthirah Sukham Asanam (Secure Happy Pose). In the assist part of the class, you will learn how to best support your students in their alignment and meet them where they are.

Warrior Flow (Vira Vinyasa): is a yoga sequence that consists of 07 archetypal virabhadra & bodhisattva stances, which are done in a certain order, that gives access to deeper layers of strength and mobility, which then awakens the body into higher energetic levels.
Learn Smart + Safe Yogic Flow Mini Sequences that awaken your creative nature; drawing from modern dance, martial arts, vinyasa yoga, and pilates floor work. Each choreographed set is limited to a targeted muscle group and related counter pose, with a healthy inner heat linking motion, making each flow memorable and easy to repeat and practice or share (teach) again.
Wave Motion: is the essence of fluid core mobility movement and the foundation of the Yogic Arts body flow. Wave as a movement is a rolling mechanism of the spine that links upward and downward dog poses and beyond, while forming the foundation of joint mobility & alignment, as well as total body core muscle activation. Super fun to learn and use!
Slide Press Flow: is the continuation of Wave Flow shifting to 'slide presses' that move towards arm balances and handstands. Duncan will be there to support you in deeper posing options with his safe and encouraging assists.
P.Y.T. (ProYogaTherapy)
These one-to-one master assists provide a chance to receive Duncansensei's uniquely deep yet safe bodywork assists with the added option to take advantage of the waiting time during the one-to-one assists by trying some of the adjustments and techniques via watch & learn partner work. Duncan will instruct the precise techniques as needed!
Full P.Y.T. private sessions can be booked with D Sensei through the host.

About Duncan:
Born into a family of mystics, scholars, and artists, Duncan began a life of movement in a dojo at age seven; a path that led him into the ring and becoming a champion fighter, but after years of training in combat and competing he realized he needed to heal and find balance in his life through that that small measure of peace we all seek. This insight prompted him to make a trip to India where he wandered the land meeting and practicing with great yogis and mystics. After returning from India to his hometown in California, he continued a decade of training with a Buddhist warrior-monk in his temple-dojo, where he synthesized his warrior yoga with fresh eyes and YogicArts™️ was born. He then went on to study for another decade under the warm guidance of his yoga mama, Shannon Gannon in New York City at the time when yoga became popular culture and allowed him to travel the world on a ‘pilgrimage of service’ that spanned three decades and continues today.
After a lifetime of training and teaching countless yogis, athletes, dancers, celebrated performers & top designers in the healing fields, he became known as the father of Warrior Yoga; a practicing path of healing, empowerment, and self expression.
Fun fact, Duncan was the first man on the cover of the Yoga Journal magazine in January 1995; the issue that launched the Ashtanga Wave around the world.
