Hatha Yoga Wellington

Sam teaches one to one yoga, group classes and pregnancy yoga in Wellington, NZ. Shadow Yoga is grounded in the Ancient Hatha Texts.

This system utilises preludes (or forms) to guide and challenge the student without forcing them beyond where they are naturally at any given point. Over time the fixed forms and their associated āsanas (or seats) enable the student to practice the more subtle and refined stages, an understanding of which is not fully realised without the presence of a solid foundation. Sam has studied various forms of yoga over the years. However, it was not until being introduced to Shadow Yoga, in 2002, that the notion of what yoga really is took hold. Sam completed a 3 year teacher training course with Sundernath (Shandor Remete), the founder of Shadow Yoga and Emma Balnaves, in 2012.

First one must gain complete control over the physical organism; then mental steadiness must be established. The flow of mental activity must then be reversed until the mind dissolves into the highest self and the yogin gains the experience of non-duality.

Makarāsana is the precursor of bhujaṅgāsana and its variations. Makarāsana is performed lying on the stomach and has two variations, one with straight legs and the other in padmāsana. It is a mild back arch and works on the lower regions of the abdominal wall.

Although the meditative postures are sitting postures, not all sitting postures are meditative. The meditative asanas can be held for hours since the erect position of the spine keeps the abdominal viscera free from pressure and brings lightness and ease to the whole structure.

Maricīdaṇḍāsana

This posture frees the body of disturbed wind – vata,
clearing the mind of its burdens due to the unobstructed flow of the pranic breath.
