let love flow! (yoga flow practice)
sat 8-10am, prana lounge

A master jivamukti class, open to all! The practices of Yoga are the key to an open mind and mindful openess toward life and it's ways. Through hatha yoga we are able to observe ouselves on a more subtle level. Slowly we learn to discrimate between conditioned behaviour and freedom. We learn, that we are not victims if we choose not to be and that we hold the key to joy & love in our very hand. The practices of Yoga will eventually but inevetably change our perspective which opens the gates for liberation in this life, not in some far away place or time. With the words of Bhagavan Das: It's here now, are you?

kriya asana pranayamama (yoga playshop)
sun 10:30-12:30, prana lounge

With kriyas and practices of nada-yoga (the yoga of sound) we will cleanse our koshas (body-layers) deeply, so a feeling of clarity and balance can arise. When the body, mind and breath are cleared and opened through those practices, we set the base for a dynamic, challenging asana-practice. What we started with kriyas, we will continue with asana on a more subtle level. Becoming aware of the energy within us, we will then begin a journey towards our very core - through pranayama, conscious, focused breathing we eventually arrive at a point of clarity, peace and freedom. Finally, here we find total silence. A silence that doesn't occur through the outside, but arises from within, with a smile....
