Shanta Vira Yoga© von und mit Michael J. Stewart

Level one is Tantric Hatha Yoga. This is the part that resembles what we mostly consider to be ‘yoga”. Tantric Hatha Yoga allows us the opportunity to know ourselves on a variety of levels. We build this relationship from the outer form of the physical body to more subtle aspects of our being. Here there will be ample time to delve into the alignment aspect of Asana, in relation to the other parts of the practice. These are Pranayama, with Bandas. Mudras and Mantras.

In Level two we will recognize an important aspect of being Human. This is Creativity. Most other species Create out of necessity whereas we human beings Create because we want to, which is quite a unique quality. If this is truly one of our unique gifts then exploring it will certainly bring us close to this condition we call being Human. In this Level we will explore a variety of Creative techniques to connect us to this joyful part of ourselves.

Level three involves our co-participation in the world of our choosing, through Community Service. This perhaps is the most challenging aspect of Shanta Vira Yoga, but absolutely one that needs exposing and understanding. Community Service, sometimes called Seva will be expanded upon through Satsang.

My intention through this offering is to bring all the aspects of Shanta Vira Yoga to the conversation and make it as accessible as possible. We will end our weekend together with joyful practice of Kirtan.
