Hatha yoga & meditation masterclass

Hatha yoga & meditation Masterclass

In this masterclass you will spend time connecting through the energy systems in asana, pranayama, mudras & bandhas. Purification and balance are the aim & foundation in the system of Hatha Yoga. Mantra is one of the most effective, immediate & powerful means to harness & redirect energy lifting you out of sensorial world.  As you strengthen your connection with that which is beyond the pull of the senses you will re-emerge revived, centred and energised.  A daily mantra sadhana is taught and included in the class.

Focusing on asanas as 'awareness tools you will explore how to embody a 'meditative awareness' in a physical practice. Asanas are sequenced for specific physical and psychological effects such as spinal mobility, mantras in Surya Namaskara, grounding, balance and awakening energy

​

Pranayama frees the mind of nervous tension & leads you to a state known as 'pratyahara'.  Encountering the mind evolves out of our relationship with pratyahara and this is an important stepping stone to evolve your practice further.  Identifying the meditative process within your own experience empowers you with the skills to repeat this over and over again gaining further mastery along the way.
