This Präventionskurs is a Hatha Yoga Course influenced by the school of Shadow Yoga.
The School of Shadow Yoga
Traditionally speaking there are only two kinds of yoga: The left-hand path and the right-hand path. The right-hand path is known as Hatha Yoga and the ultimate goal is to achieve Raja Yoga (the highest yoga). Shadow Yoga is rooted in Hatha Yoga and practising it assists yogis in “climbing the mountain” of Raja Yoga slowly, persistently and steadily.
In Shadow Yoga, there is a focus on all forms of legwork. Deep stances and fluid movements that are partly taken from martial arts and Shaolin Qi Gong become an excellent base to enliven the breath. Breath awareness is used to sharpen the attention and maintain balance when the asana work becomes more intense. The breath is also used to guide you deeper into postures.
What you will learn in this course
Shadow Yoga teaches you how to use fluid movements to destress and relax and create strength and balance in your body and your mind. You will also receive guidance on how to take this practice into your own life and integrate it into your daily routine. All classes include a balanced mix of movement and breath practice to stimulate and strengthen the physical body. There will also be a theory component and ample time for you to reflect on the new things you have learned and ask questions.
