“The Spiritual Dimensions of Hatha Yoga”
with Swami Asokananda

September 24-26, 2010

 

Workshop Description

In this workshop we will explore how the physical practices of Hatha Yoga can be directly linked to Yoga’s ultimate spiritual goal—discovering the radiance of our true Self. Through deepening our awareness of the energy that underlies and animates the body, we can use the physical body as a jumping point to discover more subtle dimensions of our being. By learning to work more consciously with Prana (Life-Energy), we will find it easier to:

· Find the right level of muscular effort in an asana

· Move into a witnessing attitude

· Find the alignment of an asana from the inside out

It is recommended that participants have at least 6 months’ experience in Hatha Yoga and some meditation experience.

Swami Asokananda

Swami Asokananda is a senior teacher in the Integral Yoga tradition. A monk for over 30 years, he has the look of an ascetic, but the twinkle in his eye and his quick, down-to-earth wit show his New York City roots and his 3 decades of study with the great Yoga master Sri Swami Satchidananda.

For over 25 years he has been one of the main Teacher Training instructors for Integral Yoga. He helped develop and facilitates the Intermediate and Advanced Integral Yoga Hatha Teacher Training programs, which he teaches to students in many parts of the world.

He is also a scholar of the Bhagavad Gita. His popular classes and workshops on this great Indian scripture make it accessible and useful to modern spiritual seekers.

Both practical and mystical, Swami Asokananda is one of the most requested and beloved speakers in the Integral Yoga Institutes. He has presented his popular programs worldwide including presentations at Yoga conferences for Yoga Journal and Omega Institute.
