| Pawanmuktasana Series |
May 8 |
|
Pawan-means air, mukta-means to free or liberate. Pawanmukta means you are freeing air from the joints, air which had been trapped in there due to muscle tension.
The main idea behind these yoga poses-Pawanmuktasanas is to provide suppleness in the areas of body joints and remove the hardness of the muscles, gently stretching all joints in the body in all directions. Through an increased range of movement you will learn to live in a more flexible and open body and mind. This workshop is also suitable for those suffering from arthritis.
No previous experience necessary. |

The purpose of these sessions is to make the yoga teachings available to you and empower you with the tools that you can apply to your practice and life.
YOGA OF CHANTING
"Works on the intermediate level between body and self. that intermediate level is known by another name – mind. The mantras, sanskrit mantras, set up a vibration in the mind that is exactly opposite to the vibrations that create tightening. Chanting unravels the mental tensions that create the physical tensions, and attunes your mind to consciousness. Twenty minutes of chanting is worth about sixty minutes of asana.
Asana is still needed because you cannot provide everything the body needs on the physical plane by working at the more subtle levels of mind and mantra. If you could, then you wouldn’t need food, shelter, or deodorant. Your body still needs some physical care.
Chanting is more powerful than poses. It particularly helps with the reprogramming conditions your mind to consciousness. In this way you can learn to live so that your body and mind are both conditioned to consciousness – the perfect expression of the perfect reality that is your true identity." -- Swami Nirmalananda (Rama)
