Temple of Shiva

Service Description

Come and experience a workshop with one of the original UK pioneers of Vinyasa Yoga! In this powerful Yogasana class, we invoke the strength and wisdom of Shiva, weaving the garland of Shiv Mantras, YogAsana and Meditation to bring us back to our ultimate great yogi power within. The Tandava is a powerful kriya-like dance that awakens Mahadev within you: giving you access to your devotion and power. What to expect: Mythical flow sequences, dynamic asana, Kriya (repetitive movements to purify the pranic system) and beautiful mantras. Stories behind Shiv as the Lord of Meditation Hatha yoga was taught by Shiva to Matsyendranath, not as an outer form of shape but to harness Prana and create inner alingment for meditation. The Vastasutra Upnishad emphasizes that placing the limbs and spine along certain symmetrical lines is like knowledge of the divine. The Gheranda Samhita is another ancient text that provides detailed instructions on yoga postures, breathing techniques, and other practices. With good alignment, we are honouring the historical context of Yoga as well as Raj Yoga and Hatha Yoga paths of controlling the mind and controlling Prana simultaneously.
