How the Himalayan sages and adepts introduced and taught the science of yoga. If you ever wondered how the yogis started their day, this is the class for you. It is filled with ancient stories, techniques and modern medical explanations of the benefits of yoga. This is a class for adults and teens who wish to travel back in time. We will return to the days when the sages and rishis walked among us, providing inspiration and practical advice.
- We will explore and discuss the concepts of vital energy (prana) and space. We will move, stretch, meditate and contemplate together.
- Pranayama – the science of expanding and controlling prana – will be explored from both an anatomical and energetic perspective.
The goal of hatha yoga is to gain freedom from the body and to create more space around your vital organs. We will stretch our minds and our understanding of how and why hatha is the gateway to the higher practices of yoga. When you are feeling stressed, creating more space within your body will diminish tension, improve your health and make sleeping much more restful. If you are looking for hotbox yoga with pain and sweat, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for maximal stress reduction and love the idea of finding steady, stable joy and self-esteem, then enroll immediately.
Beginner and advanced practitioners, as well as yoga teachers are highly encouraged to attend this program. We will be practicing asana, breath exercises, meditation and contemplation. Please bring your yoga mat and meditation cushion if you have them. Otherwise, a few thick blankets will suffice.
