TYPE OF YOGA:

Tantra/Hatha 2,500 year old practice - unchanged

This practice is a combination of both sun/moon, its about energy management and developing a deeper relationship to Prana, the energy that sustains us and all of life. The Solar/Moon path rides the line between cultivating the power we need to excel and the sensitivity we need to touch the subtler planes of reality. In addition to Asanas that open the chest and upper body and an emphasis on developing the inhalation, we also do forward folds and twists to cultivate the calming effects of the moon. Here we see the introduction of the deeper Tantric practices such as Bandhas and Mudras to increase the voltage and radiance within this vessel, the body. A steady and calm mind is an absolute necessity on the Solar/Moon path.

Methodology: To enliven and sensitise. Backbends, Laterals, Namaskars (Salutations) forward folds and twists. Focus on developing the inhalation and also creating the calming effects of the Moon. Introduction of Bandhas and Mudras.
