Shadow Yoga
Shadow Yoga is a Hatha Yoga School founded by Zhander Remete that places special emphasis on preparatory forms as basis for a safe, meaningful development of students. These preparatory forms, the preludes, integrate principles common to all the internal arts, yoga, martial arts & dance. The sequencing of positions and rhythm of movement and breath are derived from the anatomical and energetic principles of Hatha Yoga and guided by the 108 points of the Indian marmasthana system.
The preludes consist of warrior (viraparampara) and sun forms (surynamaskaras). They are flowing forms that combine strong stance work with spiraling movements, skillful arm-hand gestures and rhythmic breathing. The warrior forms free the body from tensions and blockages. The sun forms ignite the central power system. Three preludes have been devised, differing in type and level of activity:
In the Shadow Yoga practice the preludes are first systematically learned and then practiced for a period of three to seven years. Basic mastery of Balakrama and Chaya Yoddha Sancalanam is prerequisite for working with the Kartikkeya Mandala. Solid grounding in the Karttikeya Mandala is required to proceed with the primary asanas, which lead to the practice of inversions.
Shadow Yoga is taught worldwide by Zhander Remete and Emma Balnaves. shadowyoga.com.
Sound Sadhana March 2014
Sound Sadhana March 13-15 2014 print flyer
The importance of sound dates back to theIndian Vedic tradition where Indian classical music has its roots.
The Indian classical system, with its rich rhythms and melodic depth, is the basis of the more well-known Kirtan and Bhajan branches of Indian music. Compositions are coloured, and made up of raaga, (melody), taala (rhythm) and bhaava (feeling). The system places much emphasis on bhaava but all three components are much needed for the essence of the raaga to take shape and be brought to life, not only in the individual but also in the listener.
This practical workshop will explore the basic elements of North Indian classical music, using the voice as the main medium. It is open to all levels of participants interested in the cultivation of sound and rhythm.
“Music … is a means to communicate with the divine spirit and not merely to please the masses”. ~ Ustad Amir Kha
STUDENT TESTIMONIAL
“Natasha took us gradually through a classic Indian Raag-step by step, through the “Sargam”, the 10-beat rhythm, the mode and eventually the words. You had to concentrate pretty hard to do the work but it was worth it, by Sunday it was beginning to cook and the singing felt great-moments of effortlessness showed what is possible if you persevere. Wonderful teacher! Thank you! She promised to return after the summer……to take us further….to be continued…..” Anne Walsh, Dublin, Ireland.
