SWAMI MAHESHANANDA
Yoga Life Style: Integrating the key practices of Yoga in our daily life.
Please join us for a weekend of personal exploration, learning and laughter in an open environment of discussion, practices and talks.
The focus will be on the concept of Pancha Kosha, the five layers of the being, Nadis, Chakras and Energy fields to enable total integration of the different dimensions of our being.
A special technique derived from Kundalini Tantra will be the highlight of the practices. This helps develop integrity and focus of all kinds of energy for a creative thrust in life.
The theory will include a talk on the five Koshas, Nadis, Chakras, Kundalini and the concept of mind and consciousness according to yoga and Tantra. The aim will be to bring a comprehensive knowledge of Yoga into your life, and to create a natural and harmonious synergy through the total process. The practical components will include practices to activate and balance the five koshas, three major nadis and the seven major Chakras.
