Kundalini Yoga – By Donna Kyle, 21st June – Orgiva
KUNDALINI YOGA (as taught by Yogi Bhajan)
I have been practicing Kundalini Yoga for 7 years and believe that it came to me at exactly the right time in my life, when I was wondering, “is this all there is to life? Surely not?” I found and of course, continue to find that the technology of Kundalini gives me the faculty/tools to change my negative beliefs (once I became aware of them), to love myself, to strengthen and trust my intuition, to become neutral in most situations, to manage my emotions, to strengthen my physical body, to see the bigger picture, to grow/evolve/expand. I also love that Kundalini yoga is complete in that every class involves, physical exercise, breathing techniques, mantras and meditation.
That’s my experience come and have your experience of the transformational power of just one class of Kundalini yoga.
“Kundalini means awareness. It is the active coming together of you as a finite identity with you as an infinite potential identity. Kundalini Yoga is the technology to awaken your awareness and take you into your original Self. It is a natural unfolding of your own nature.”
- The Aquarian Teacher
This evening class will be a total work out for the thyroid, pituitary and pineal glands (suitable for all). We will sing the meditation – The Mangalacharan Mantra for Protection and Projection of the Heart. English and Spanish
Iyengar Yoga By Brenda Blades – 21st June, Orgiva
B.K.S. Iyengar was born on 14/12/1918. He started practicing Yoga as a teenager in an effort to improve his ill health after contracting tuberculosis, studying with his brother in law, Krishnamacharya in Mysore, India. He began teaching in 1936 and helped introduce yoga to the western world in the 1950’s. Aged 80 he was interviewed by the B.B.C. in U.K> where he answered questions “nothing unusual about that” except he spoke while in head balance! Sadly he left his body in 2014, aged 95 years.
Iyengar yoga is a form of Hatha yoga where emphasis is on detail, precision and alignment in the performance of posture (asana) and breath control (pranayama) By paying attention to the anatomical details of the asanas it helps to develop strength, mobility and stability. Iyengar yoga includes very little Vinasa flow. Instead poses are held fro longer periods whilst alignment is improved and often modified with props such as belts and blocks to acquire the maximum benefit from the postures, creating free flow of energy to improve your mind, body and soul connection.
Whether you’re new to yoga or just new to Iyengar I encourage you to give this style a try and see how much it can benefit you with your own practice.
“Yoga is like music, the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul. It creates the rhythm of life” B.K.S. Iyengar.
Brenda Blades has been practicing yoga since 1981. She qualified as a teacher in 1991 (introductory) and Junior intermediate in 1995. She has practiced yoga for 37 years and teaching Iyengar yoga for 27. She has been to Pune many times and had the privilege to work with B.K.S. himself, his daughter Geeta and son Prasant.
She will be teaching a class at our Orgiva Yoga day on 21st June at 10am…
Oneness and separation with Nathan Godolphin…
Following our own
search for meaning, leading ourselves along the path of
self-inquiry and questioning all that we assume ourselves to
be, something ‘more’ emerges. This is nothing more
(or less!) than the deeper Truth
of Who We Are and What Reality Is. But nothing is being
prescribed… this is all for you to decide. We are
Consciousness Itself, choosing its chosen way!The talk is a
sharing of Universal Wisdom, presented in a new Way of
Seeing. This is none other than the seeing of who we
are- in terms of Oneness, separation, Timelessness and time.
It is all about Awareness. The Ever-Present
Reality of Awareness. This Awareness is ours… and we are
configuring it all the time, through our knowledge and
understanding- whether we are aware of it or not.Perhaps it is best
to be aware of what we are working with here- to get an
overall picture- a new framework for Being. A Story that can
be broad enough to guide us, and yet flexible enough to
accommodate all the nuanced differences
we see in this world. As we see, so we are.
Aware of Awareness… conscious of Consciousness…
we can align as fully as we can, and live as much as
possible
(in) the innate
Presence and Power of OUR OWN LIFE.
