This workshop at Hemma will explore a tantrik approach to hatha yoga, integrating vinyasa and mantra as whole body prayer to the natural elements within and without. In addition to the classical surya namaskar, we’ll explore mandalas (circular vinyasa sequences) invoking the elements of earth, water, fire, air and moon (chandra namaskar). In addition, you’ll learn mantras to open and close your practice with intention and honouring of the ancestors.
Brian James has spent the past 20 years exploring the connection between yoga, music and shamanism, and over the past 7 years has devoted his life to making the ancient techniques of tantrik hatha yoga relevant and accessible to modern folks of all ages and physical ability. (Read more)
