Shadow Yoga Immersions (AM and PM)
Immersion classes introduce the basic movements and principles of Shadow Yoga preludes that are taught by teacher Zhander Remete. The immersion format is a great way to establish a regular practice and to study yoga deeply.
Shadow Yoga Preludes are set forms of simple movements, which prepare the body for later stages of the yoga practice. As the body gets stronger from feet to the core, emotional stability is provided and the inner intelligence is gradually revealed.
This system has three prelude forms that are taught to the students step by step. By learning these specific standing sequences help us to see the interaction between the physical, energetic and the mental bodies. Freeing the existing blockages in the physical body with the help of breath, slowly leads to the transformation of the ways in which the mind operates. Change in the mental patterns could be observed in one’s relationship with him/herself and the others.
In my classes I use postures, breath and bandhas (inner locks) to create movement, which naturally leads to stillness. Stillness in the body gives rise to a neutral state of mind. Clarity and wisdom gradually appear as the natural consequences of this process.
Every month we will start to learn one of the Shadow Yoga prelude forms and slowly build the sequence up. Working with the same group of students over a period of 4 weeks helps me to observe and guide each individual to realize his/her potential. This format also allows the students to relax in a familiar environment and express themselves freely in 15 minute question/answer sessions that we hold at the end of each class.
