Breath and the Transformation of the Physical

To be fully breathed, without obstruction is the beginning and the culmination of  “Real” Hatha Yoga. The root and the crown of true Hatha practice is the Heart recognition of prior unity with Absolute Light simultaneous to devotional intimacy with habits in consciousness lodged as gross physical traits or samskaras. Depending on the actual, liberated whole-body love-awareness of any individual, transformational Hatha practice must either be lodged in strengthening the capacity to receive and release or in magnifying the capacity of surrender to being received and released. All this reflected and practiced in the breath. Needless to say, the above is an advanced motive for Hatha yoga practices but the bud from which all yogic capacities actually flower over the fodder of egoic motives.

This weekend intensive will concentrate on the Maha Prana cycles within Surya Namaskar (Sun Salute) balanced by emphasis on minute capacities of feeling-ly living the breath through more slow and subtle breath practices.  Reception and release cycles of basic vinyasa practice will be fine tuned to the individuals attending as well as gentle inversions and joint transforming stationary asanas for physical issues presented by yogis and yoginis attending. The ribbon around the gift of practicing this weekend together will be individually tailored Surya Namaskar-based practice for every body in attendance.

May we all fully receive Who we truly are and may we rejoice in not withholding even a shred of our born-to-give Light!
