The techniques act directly through the heart, mind, body, breath and sexuality. Each Level 1 class begins with a lesson in yoga philosophy, followed by a beginner asana sequence, pranayama practice and then deep meditation. Everyone is encouraged to go at their own speed in taking on new practices and much attention is devoted to developing skills in “self-pacing.” The aim of these classes is to assist every practitioner in becoming self-sufficient in yoga.

Class Descriptions

All classes are pre-registered only and are $120 for the full 8 week program. Cost includes two “Advanced Yoga Practices” books. There is 1 class per week per program.

Class 1:  “Beginners Yoga: Finding Inner Silence”
In this class we will learn how to properly align the body so that we gain the most from even the ”simplest” postures, as well as a powerful breathing technique called “Spinal Breathing Pranayama” and the core of all Yoga, “Deep Meditation”.  We will also learn what “energetic overload” is, how to identify it in ourselves and some prudent “Self Pacing” methods to combat this should you ever begin to experience overload.  We also discuss Kundalini, Tantra and Enlightenment.
This class is a prerequisite for the other classes offered.

Class 2: “Intermediate Yoga: The Next Step”
In this class we will learn a few of the more intermediate Hatha postures, the common Mudras (bodily manipulations) and Bandhas (energetic locks), and a powerful practice combining the last 3 limbs of Yoga (concentration, meditation and absorbtion) called Samyama.  We will also learn a bit about yogic “cleansing methods” called Shatkarmas. We also take a more indepth look at Tantra and discuss some of the energetic effects of ecstatic conductivity (Kundalini) as we learn practices that directly stimulate this dormant energy.
This class is a prerequisite for the Advanced Yoga class.

Class 3: ”Advanced Yoga: Merging with the Infinite”
In this class we will be learning a few of the more advanced Hatha postures, an esoteric (formerly secret) mudra called Kechari Mudra, Cosmic Samyama (advanced Yoga Nidra), some Left Hand Path Tantric practices to harness the power of the human sexual essences, some powerful Self Inquiry methods as well as some often misunderstood Shatkarmas like Amaroli therapy. We will also delve into a more advanced version of Spinal Breathing Pranayama call Bastrika Pranayama. Not for the faint of heart or the closed-minded ;)

To register for classes please contact me at carsonzi@blissedyoga.com or call me at 1-403-606-9464.  I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Namaste!
