Asana and Chakras & Tattwas

Stop press!
The wonderful Laksmi from Moonlight Healing is co-facilitating for both this and the Yoga Nidra workshop
(with Chakras and Tattwas) in the afternoon. Both workshops are initially running in Whangarei on June 24.

I have worked with Laksmi, with amazing outcomes, many times before.

Also on Zoom.

I am looking forward to these immensely.

With love

Radhe

Chakras, the psychic energy vortexes relating to the nerve plexuses in the spinal column, are ever present and ever popular to explore. The Tattwas, or symbols for the elements that make up our existence, tie in perfectly with this exploration. Deepen your asana practice in this process.
"How do we become more aware of the chakras?
Awareness of the chakras depends on one's spiritual evolution. When the consciousness has been purified by spiritual efforts, awareness of the chakras is greatly enhanced."
Swami Satyananda. http://www.yogamag.net/archives/1980/joct80/sat1080.shtml
"Tattwas
1. Akasha— ether; responsible for void and space.
2. Vayu— air; responsible for perpetual motion.
3. Agni— fire; responsible for heat.
4. Apas— water; responsible for fluidity.
5. Prithvi— earth; responsible for cohesion, weight. "
Swami Satyasangananda. Tattwa Shuddhi.Bihar School of Yoga. 2016.

No previous experience necessary. This workshop will be a blast for beginners to advanced.

As asana (postures and exercises) are a focus, which we will be practising at around 10.30/10.45 or so (with the chakra/tattwa visualisations), please either have breakfast at 7 or make sure that it is just a light one if you have it later than that.

Note that we will stop for a shared vegetarian lunch at 12.45. This break time is always a great socialising time. Even if only coming for the morning or the afternoon workshops rather than for both, you are most welcome. For those who are staying for the afternoon as well as the morning, please bring something to share, if you can.

A handout to refer to later is provided.

Investment: $60 in advance or $70 on the day.

If doing the two workshops, it is $115 in advance or $130 on the day.

Laksmi is an acclaimed Hokitika-based healer, yoga instructor and producer of hydrosols from her own homegrown herbs. Her experience in yoga teaching stretches back over decades and her energy never ceases to astound. She moved to the SI from the NI to a farming job when her boys were small, gradually developing a flourishing healing practice in the beautiful West Coast town of Hokitika. Nowadays, her boys are adults and Laksmi is definitely a very established craniosacral and massage therapist that clients come from far and wide to see. She is a much loved and respected part of the community, often getting referrals from medical practitioners. Her inspirational insight is always a blessing in workshops.

Radhe, is a registered Level 4 teacher with Yoga NZ. Here is her bio from there:
I teach regular weekly yoga classes in the Whangarei district, also running workshops and retreats. Each year, I also travel to Hokitika several times to offer yoga workshops there, based at Moonlight Healing. I expect to be broadening the number of regions of NZ that I offer teachings in over the next few years. A 200-hour teacher training course is now planned to be commenced in the near future. The scope of what I offer covers a range of yoga techniques, from cleansing practices through to the more esoteric, including asana, pranayama, yoga nidra and meditation practices largely based on the teachings of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati. I welcome enquiries and invitations to teach. As I made some free (homemade) videos on various practices for my students to use during lockdown, you are most welcome to access these on https://www.facebook.com/shraddhayogaandmeditation
