Summer workshops: Hatha Kriya Yoga
Kriya yoga following Patanjali's yoga sutras, (sutra 2.1, the first sutra of the sadhana pada: the practice) is:
tapas (self-discipline)
svadhyaya (self-study)
and ishvara pranidhana (surrender to higher self).
In this time together we will explore how to find the right effort, understanding what this self-discipline needs to be made of. We will also explore self-study, how to refine our awareness of the inner world with a clear vision and an equanimous mind, without attachements or desires, just the pure understanding or experience of what is. And we will honour the vow to dedicate the practice to ishvara, the inner teacher and guidance: the so called intuition that brings inspiration.
The workshops will focus on one of these four aspects essential to the activity of yoga (Kriya Yoga):
AWARENESS, cultivating attention, focus and awareness for the purspose of self-study (the body is the primary field of knowledge).
NEW HABITS, breaking with old patterns through the right effort of tapas, which requires and understanding of how resistance works.
INTUTITION, listening within, trusting the inner voice/guidance and learning how to surrender to higher self (ishvara pranindhana).
ATTITUDE, the mother of all change, choosing the attitude that will allow for the transformation we truly wish for and deserve.
We will take some time to reflect on the philosophical concepts and then we will put them into practice in a long asana session.

How many times in your life have you been guided by intuition and done things that were against reason. A lot, sure, and you didn't even stop to think about it. This being guided by the inner voice is something that comes spontaneously but we can grow as well.
As a tool, if we cultivate it, intuition is more often available, it gives us a completely different perspective from the experiences we have and at the same time helps us make decisions.
And by brnging awareness into this process of surrender to the deep self, we come into contact with a part of ourseves that is real but often ignored. According to Ercih Schiffmann, once we have reached the level of stillness that allows us to be with ourselves in order to get to know us, we enter a level of stillness that accompanies us all day long and that continually requires the release of self-criticism, self-evaluation and contradictory opinions about oneself. Keeping in touch with the deeper reality of who we are.
We will therefore have to refine our capacity for internal perception and open up to the possibility of transformation so that we can enjoy the power of intuition and surrender to the deep self (Ishvara Pranidhana).
On August 6 we will learn to listen and to be guided from within, and you will be able to take tools that will serve you outside the yog mat as well, because this will be a
YOGA WORKSHOP THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
