ABHYASA, or Personal Effort

Lasting, meaningful growth in any endeavor is a direct result of one's personal efforts. In this three-part course, we will cover the purpose, the structure and the importance of intentional action on the path of yoga. Each session includes a short talk, a complete yogic sadhana and time for discussion/Q & A. The sessions are intended to be taken together, and are open to students of all levels and backgrounds.

pranaams are an important step in one's sadhana. the culture trains us to ask for things, to want things, to expect things . . . but where are we taught to offer something of ourselves? to offer without expectation of something received in return? to see our efforts in the spirit of service?

in our culture, offering without expectation exemplifies pratiloma, or going against the grain (or the hair, literally). seeing our efforts as offerings requires consistent, earnest effort over the long arc of time. and yet it makes everything so much easier . . .

one of the pillars of the teacher-student journey is the importance of transmission. a teacher uses words, hands-on adjustments, silence, example, restraint and other tools to relay information. the student must be keen to subtleties, and attuned to what may not be immediately evident.

a properly executed uddiyana bandha (which precedes madhyama nauli, shown here) fortifies agni, facilitates absorption and trains the mind to go quiet. it is best learned under the guidance of an experienced teacher, as it is contraindicated in certain situations.

uddiyana bandha is taught in Shadow Yoga I (beginner) classes, periodically (not in every class):

mondays at 6:00 pm
wednesdays at 9:30 am

The prasarita "braids" free the side body, release dark wind from the upper back and render the spine more supple. These are taught in the third Shadow Yoga Prelude known as "kārtikeya," or the god of war and victory.

Individualized Practice sessions provide a structured, supportive environment to work with material that has been recommended based on one's personal situation.

We'll cover the purpose and structure of those sessions, demonstrate some of the hands-on adjustments that may be given, and close with a supported, restorative set-up that you can replicate at home.

Shadow Yoga is based upon a deep, layered philosophy about the human experience, one that includes mental, energetic and physical anatomy. Shadow Yoga teachers are versed in these various layers, giving them the ability to assist students in profound and transformative ways.

All students can benefit from a personalized approach to practice that takes their unique needs into account. Part philosophy, part practice and part hands-on support, this workshop for students covers the purpose and process of working regularly with a teacher using an individualized approach to asana.

Learn a template for regular practice, how to adjust for injury or illness, and how to set up a deeply restorative posture to relieve the mind and refresh the nervous system.
