As an enlightened yogi once stated, “the appearance of this body is nothing but frozen layers of shadows.” The first recommended form, Balakrama (Stepping into Strength) and Uddiyana bandha (navel lock) will be introduced in this class. This bone strengthening sequence is especially designed to develop an awareness of one’s center, hands, feet, and breath.

The Deep Dimensions of Yoga
CODE: 12MW
“Truth” is not something you have to search for; it is present in you as you, the life that is you. Yoga arose in ancient wisdom cultures as the non-dual understanding that all ordinary conditions are not and cannot be separate from Source. Mark will take you deep into yoga’s roots to the shamanic past of the Upanishads, when yoga was practiced as a means of acknowledging and celebrating the very source of life. With this tantric understanding, your yoga can begin. There is a right Yoga for you. It is your direct intimacy with nurturing Source. Asana is tantra, hatha yoga, strength that is receiving, the union of all opposites, left with right, above to below, inhalation with exhalation, male with female within, without, spirit with form, source and seen. No more, no less, practice as whole body prayer to Life, the easy surrender to the life current for everyone. (Lecture and practice)
