Wisdom of the Body
Rediscover what your body already knows.
Book a Wisdom of the Body eveningAn exploratory movement practice from the floor to standing.
Allen’s founding question
What is complete physical training?
Wisdom of the Body explores this question through attention, adaptability and movement from the floor to standing. It offers principles to explore, rather than a form to copy.
Classes take place in small groups — no experience is needed.

Mazdaznan Breathing & Walewski’s Arcanes
What connects the Mazdaznan breathing teaching of Otoman Zar-Adusht Hanish with the arcanes of Count Stefan Colonna Walewski, author of A System of Caucasian Yoga? Ekkehart Jenetzky and Allen Pittman set the two approaches side by side and look at what they share and where they differ. In conversation they also explore possible connections to other esoteric traditions, such as Sufi traditions. The weekend combines breathing practice and conversation.
