Yoga is more than fancy poses, ecstatic tunes and burning incense. Yoga is a practice for one to remember who they truly are, a practice for the soul to understand its true essence and purpose. According to Samkhya Philosophy (the decent of consciousness) Samkhya suggests we are divided into we are divided into two distinct parts, Purusha and Prakriti. Nature is divided in this way also. Purusha being our pure, indestructible, unchangeable, un-manifested nature and Prakriti being our creative force, our human nature. Prakriti is out body, our mind, our mood and our entire human existence.
For this reason, yoga is a twofold path, one of which is to disconnect Prakriti and reconnect to Purusha and the other is to manoeuvre ourselves though this life time with the least amount of suffering and to thrive during this life time. Samkhya attempts to describe the indescribable in how the one Purusha becomes many (Prakrit) Yoga helps us to understand our specific human limitations and guide us back to our pure nature as consciousness.
Drawing inspiration from the Seven Stages of Hatha Yoga Chris has put together a 40 day program for the ultimate journey of self-realisation. During these 40 days we will look at the system of MOON, SUN & FIRE to help understand the system of traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga a little deeper which will help us to help you to discover elements of yourself they have been hidden and for you just to discover who you truly are.
The Seven Stages of Hatha include a purification and strengthening component which will be filtered throughout and then we will take a deeper look at the other stages of CALMING, STABILITY (MOON) SENSITIVITY, EXPANSION (SUN) and ILLUMINATION, SELF-REALISATION (FIRE) which include Rudrani and Sushumna (sacred fire and stream)
Being part of this journey you will gain a deeper understanding of how all of this works through asana, pranayama and meditation. Daily practices in studio or online, take away manual to keep track of your journey through daily journaling, access to private group and weekly live meetings to connect, question, share and listen.
