Develop an effortless meditation practice in this weekend yoga workshop. Cultivating an awareness of the flow of Prana (subtle energy) in yoga practice can be easy, but it requires letting go in the mind. One needs to release the desire to control or negate the outcome of the Asana (posture) and the Pranayama (length and regulation of the breath), and ease into them. By allowing space to explore the nuances of the holding patterns, one finds that the flow of Prana increases, the body becomes more supple, the mind less rigid and the breath deeper and more resonant, resulting in a calm mind prepared to focus and meditate.

This weekend workshop will integrate the use of Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) and Dhyana (meditation), so the practitioner can experience the cumulative, effortless approach to meditation practice, as espoused by Patanjali in The Yoga Sutras.
