"In the practice of Yantra Yoga we use our body, our voice or our breath and our mind. With the body we do positions and movements, with the voice/breath there are many techniques of pranayamas or breathing practices and with the mind there are many ways to concentrate and visualize. The aim is to go beyond judging and thinking with our mind. We call this contemplation. When we apply all these three aspects together, we have the possibility to arrive at our real knowledge or the understanding of our primordial state, our original condition. That is the real meaning of yoga in Yantra Yoga."

COST: Special introductory rate $60 for the week-end
Saturday and Sunday we will hold an introductory course. We will explore more deeply the aspect of complete breathing and learn two preliminary series from the system of Yantra Yoga: Tsijong, the Loosening of the Joints and Lunsang or the Eight Movements, for purifying the respiration.
The movements in Yantra Yoga are unique and focus on the coordination and harmonization of prana, or vital energy, through the relationship of movement and breath. Yantra Yoga is a practice of yoga for people of all ages and physical conditions. Don't be shy!
