Canal Om invites you to the GPBALANCE International Training with Gustavo Ponce. Enjoy 50 hours of theoretical and practical learning, along with free time to relax in a beautiful coastal space in Chile.

GPBALANCE is a method created by Gustavo Ponce based on traditional yoga, honoring the Indian philosophical heritage, while offering a modern and concrete method. This hormonal yoga technique will allow you to restore your vitality and naturally rebalance your hormonal health and/or that of your students/patients.

This event is open to those who want to teach the method, but also to those who are interested in learning it for their personal practice.

Practice

The 5 sections of GPBALANCE:

The study of different breathing and postural techniques: Kaya Stairyam Sankalpa, Bija Mantras, Prana Vidya, Kapalabhati, Bhastrika 1, Bhastrika 2. These techniques work on stillness, stability and concentration of body and mind as well as the channeling of energy.
Preparatory work of simple postures lying on the back, accompanied by visualizations and the various breathing techniques studied in the previous section. This enables us mobilize energy around pelvic region.
Standing postures whose primary objective is to strengthen the flexibility, strength, balance and agility of our whole body. This also enables us to mobilize energy throughout the body.
In this section, the focus is on pressing the pubis to the ground and strengthening the core area of the body as well as the abdominal area. We will also perform a series of inverted postures.
This last seated section will cover different techniques such as Uddiyana Bandha, Agnisara Dhauti, Nauli, Ashwini Mudra, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama. The essential objective of these techniques being to achieve a rebalancing of the hormonal system in a more intense way than during the various techniques and asanas proposed in the previous sections. They also help to cleanse and lighten the body of functional obstacles caused largely by stress. We end this last section of the practice with a brief contemplation (which includes your last Sankalpa), Neo-Tummo and Yoga Nidra.

Since I discovered this method, I felt that I was in front of a complete and compact system of knowledge, a summary of a lifetime of research, learning, study and practice. That captivated me.

I did the GPBALANCE hormonal yoga workshop. I loved it ! It is a very interesting workshop. Gustavo is not only a very wise man but also very kind, he has a sense of humor and he is a very close person, you can ask him any question, even after the workshop and he gives a lot of advice. He explains the theory in a very understandable way and teaches the practice. I am very grateful for what he has taught and I recommend to take the course !
