Although
yoga is usually thought of as primarily stretching, breathing and
relaxing, its greatest benefits are experienced through an integration
of four core methods – asana (body awareness), pranayama (breath
awareness), chakra meditation (energy awareness) and chanting
(heart-centered awareness). When these are consistently and skillfully
practiced together, an intelligent, inner energy awakens that can lead
us deep into our own spiritual core – the source of lasting happiness,
health and loving peace of mind.
Learning
to strengthen and focus this core energy transforms negative
misperceptions and limiting beliefs into spacious inner freedom and
compassionate wisdom.
When
our
life
force is enriched
with
this
fresh, balanced energy our life purpose becomes insightful
and inspired. As we learn to skillfully integrate these safe yet
powerful yogic methods, body, mind and emotions are rebalanced, healing
on all levels is accelerated, and a profound sense of personal
well-being is realized.
In this seminar we will explore how to actualize these possibilities
through :
- Energy
anatomy
of
the chakras - how to use specific asanas, breath techniques
and visualizations to optimize our energy potential
- Essential
anatomy
of
the structural core - applied
to specific muscular, breath and visualization techniques to support
optimal alignment, stability and safe movement
- A
core-based
asana
technique that emphasizes relaxed stability, fluid
movement, and true self awareness
- Excerpts
from
yogic
texts to use as guidelines for deeper practice and daily
life application of the
four core methods
- Simple
yet
effective
mantras to use with confidence in enhancing strength,
balance and relaxation in daily life situations
