Teaching at Pure Yoga, Singapore
HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA ESSENTIALS
Pure Yoga, Hong Kong (Tsim Sha Tsui), January 18-19, 2012
The most famous book on yoga ever written is the Yoga Sutra – but there is nothing in the text about how to do the specific poses or asanas of yoga. The source for all the systems of yoga followed in the world today is called Light on the Yoga of Sun and Moon, or Hatha Yoga Pradipika in Sanskrit. The Indian yogi Swatmarama wrote this comprehensive explanation of the entire physical and spiritual path of yoga about 500 years ago.
Topics to be covered by Lama Marut at this two-day intensive workshop include the importance of retreat, commitments and vows, a description of the major asanas, proper diet, the kriyas, pranayama, the bandhas, mudras, kundalini, partner practices, samadhi, and a deep investigation into ultimate reality or “emptiness. In addition, the course includes stories from Cindy Lee about the lives of the great yogis of the past (mahasiddhas), and very practical advice on how to recognise and combat the mental and physical problems that may arise from intense yogic practice. Tibetan Heart Yoga asana practice will be incorporated into the workshop.
