Experience the profound stillness beyond the agitated surface of one’s own thoughts.
The asana classes focus on:
- Self-observation: Experience how gravity stretches the spine in various asanas, creates a relaxed stretch and deepens the relaxation pose
- Self-observation: How is my breath? Shallow or deep, fast or slow, and what thought patterns arise as a result
- Holding the asanas brings body and mind into balance
- Improving motor skills and refining perceptions through asana variations
- The conscious coordination of movement and breath in the Sun Salutation
- A flexible spine for a flexible mind
The talks cover:
- Practical ways to cultivate positive thoughts
- Obstacles in the meditation practice and how to overcome them
- Withdrawing our minds from the external sensory world to a realm of silence
- Discover the silence beneath the agitated surface of your thoughts
- Yoga Sutras: timeless teachings on analysis and control of the mind
- The Self, the aspect inherent in every human being That knows reality
- Yoga – union with inner peace
