Shadow Yoga: An introduction
"If you want to control you mind, learn to control your breath"

Thu, Mar 20, 1:30-4:30pm
postponed!, new date will be announced soon
Turtle Island Yoga

all levels - anyone welcome

This first in a series of courses, you are invited to an introduction to Shadow Yoga. Instruction will be personalized so beginners as well as seasoned practitioners will receive appropriate and effective information. Understand that this is not about a particular yoga style. Instead, the focus is on rather basic techniques that are at the core of the old Hatha Yoga texts but are, unfortunately, no longer found in the teaching of modern yoga. You will practice how your breadth and gaze affect your mind and how the application of the bandhas lead to inner firmness and resolve.

Each participant will receive personal instruction including a short practice to be done at home until we meet again in April.

Please notice:
- If you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant right now, you may observe the course but you can not participate in most of the practical work.
- Do not eat 3 hours before and do not drink one hour prior to the course.
- If you are unfamiliar with Jalandhara and Uddiyana bandha, please ask you current teacher to demonstrate the techniques to you and practice at home. I will teach the correct application in the course but you will greatly benefit from having practiced beforehand.
