Description

Kundalini Yoga has been called the Yoga of Awareness. This workshop consists of two parts - First we will embark on an experience of Kundalini Yoga via participation in a ‘kriya’ - a prescribed set of exercises, asana, meditation, mantra and breath patterns designed to awaken and radiate the dormant spiritual power that lies within us. Also included in the experience is a sound-healing session via the use of a 34” poly-symphonic gong, which balances the sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems and induces a state of spontaneous meditation. Next we will delve into the nature and components of one of the key elements of Yogic practice - the Subtle Body. The spiritual evolution of the individual is heavily dependent upon a greater knowledge and sensitivity of the subtle body, and we will be sharing information and practice along these lines. Come expecting a stimulating and rewarding experience! Mervyn Alphonse has taught and practiced both Hatha and Kundalini Yoga extensively.
