Bandhas, Mudras, and Pranayama

Bandhas, Mudras, and Pranayama

8.5 hrs
4 classes (avg 105 mins)
50% Practice/50% Talks

Drawing upon postures from the Primary Series, David teaches how to access the energetic hatha yoga techniques that are hidden within the poses.

In the physical portion of each class:
-You will learn about the physical application of mula bandha, uddihyana bandha, khechari mudra, and jalandhara bandha in postures of the Primary Series.
-a portion of the Ashtanga Pranayama Sequence (Class 2, 3, and 4)

In the philosophy portion of each class:
-You will learn about the corresponding energetic language that reveals what's beyond the physical practice. 

There is an entire energetic vocabulary in hatha yoga that the Ashtanga practice initiates you in to.  The roots of the energetic language are found in the sacred texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Speaking in this language moves your yoga conversation away from the mundane, anatomical, sports paradigm towards the mystical, invisible spiritual perspective. Learning to see your self and the world in energetic terms means you can begin to concentrate your mind in more subtle ways.
