Sun & Fire Practice w/ Rod Stryker 9:30-4:30

 Rod Stryker portraitThe ancient tradition of Tantra maps the entire spectrum and sacred journey of Hatha Yoga. According to these teachings there are three stages to practice: Moon, Sun, and Fire. Knowing how and when to apply these practices, ancient wisdom tells us, is key to realizing the promise of yoga and to achieve lasting happiness and success.

Sun Practice
Awakening the Sensitivity to Life Force
Sunday, August 8, 9:30am – 12:30pm

We focus on the approach to practice that links us to prana or life force. Sun practices allow us to increase vitality, subtle awareness, passion, and power. “Solar” energy leads to shining, both internally and externally. It is the basis for increasing the capacity of a practice to yield more and more powerful benefits as well as leading us to the final and most powerful stage of practice.

 

Fire Practice
Discovering and Living the Ultimate Aim of Practice
Sunday, August 8, 2 – 4:30pm

The ultimate aim of Yoga practice is to awaken our inner fire­­–the force of Spirit. Activation of the subtle force of fire leads to extraordinary perception and living. Practice focuses on generating the energy that dissolves inertia in order to access the sacred force residing in the spine called shakti––the power of soul.
