Yoga Vinyasa Krama

Yoga Vinyasa Krama - Thursdays 9-10:30am
Soft Medicine Sanctuary - Loft

Experience physical health & fitness, pranic flow, vital energy & stillness - through intelligent architecture with the metaphysics of deep conscious breathing & slow motion, yogic breathwork, mantra/sound/vibration, mudra, subtle & contemplative practices.

Yoga Vinyasa Krama is a comprehensive hatha-raja yogic system for purification, developing concentration, neuromuscular fitness and conditioning, mastering the breath, awakening subtle energy and stilling the mind. Based on deep breathing & the subtle movement of prana directed into the cartilage tissue, sinuous musculature, internal organs, nerve pathways and nadis. It has over 700 intelligently sequenced slow, conscious breath powered with precision movement variations with pause (vinyasas), exploring many aesthetic variations of each posture to correctly establish the main asanas while the mind merges with the breath.
Includes drishti, pratikriyas, bandha, vaseth, mudra, mantra, surya & ding namaskar with breath & mantra, cleansing kriyas, Himalayan pranayama including including ujjayi variations, heating & cooling breaths, solar, lunar & soli-lunar nadi shuddhi practices, pranava & samantraka pranayama, pratyahara, subtle & contemplative practices in 12 kramas (sequences).

The whole process gradually transforms the body and mind, releasing old patterns of physical and mental tension and dysfunctional patterns of movement, providing tonic, energetic and psychophysiological effects. This system is presented from the teachings Srivatsa Ramaswami learned through his over 33 years of one on one study with Sri Krishnamacharya and teachings from a similar Himalayan method.

This ongoing class will explore the entire system of 12 Kramas with each class focusing on a particular krama (sequence) & pranayama & contemplative practices.

Please practice on an empty stomach. Morning beverage ok but please take it 30min or more before class.
