Yantra Yoga: Perfect Rhythm of Life
Fabio Andrico
http://webapp.esalen.org/workshops/11240
Yantra Yoga is one of the oldest recorded systems of yoga in the world. It originated in Tibet, a land that holds a vast, rich Buddhist knowledge and heritage. Yantra Yoga's unique series of positions and movements, combined with conscious breathing, can help coordinate and harmonize one's personal energy so that the mind can relax and find its authentic balance. This is a superb method to attain optimal health, relaxation, and harmony through the coordination of breath and movement.
In this workshop, senior Yantra Yoga instructor Fabio Andrico will help participants discover the real essence of Yantra Yoga by clarifying its rich theory and practice. Andrico will begin by demonstrating techniques that will help participants discover the experience of naturally relaxed, complete breathing. Using this fundamental experience as a base, he will then introduce the most essential Yantra Yoga exercises, which can reshape, transform, and deepen the effect of the practice by coordinating and enhancing the quality of each participant's more subtle and powerful energies. The following series of movements will be taught during this workshop: The Vairocana Position, The Nine Purification Breathings, Lungsang (Purifying the Prana), Tsadul (Controlling the Energy Channels), and the Pranayama of Rhythmic Breathing. Please bring yoga clothing and a yoga mat.
