From Body to Mind

The techniques of hatha yoga gradually awaken the physical and mental potential. The stability of the postures helps to release blocked energy. The mind can then calm down through breath control and concentration. When the body, the breath and the mind are in harmony, we can experience our full potential.

This course is ideal for those who wish to understand the practice of postures and pranayama at a deeper level. It is suitable for all levels of experience.

Topics covered:

• Improve your understanding and practice of the twelve basic postures
• Feel how the twelve basic asanas stimulate the energy flow, the organs and the glands
• Master the breath in the twelve basic asanas
• Understand how the breath refines our perception of the body in each asana
• Contemplation and visualisation exercises

Recommended reading: “The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga”, Swami Vishnudevananda.
