What are the options for Yoga Practice & Yoga Texts Study within Live Small Groups of five students?
All the Live Small Group Workshops are two-day meetings. However, they are also a specialised learning intensive, so rather than needing to choose which topic to offer, plus fixing and advertising diary dates in advance, each Workshop will be arranged once I have received a minimum of three applications from interested students. This may sound unusual, but I feel these teachings are best reflected either within the privacy of individual meetings or the intimacy around a small group of students gathering to learn together within a common framework. Plus this is the process that Śrī T Krishnamacharya favoured when teaching from his home to his adult students. Namely offering each student an individualised studentship through private Yoga lessons and where an appropriate addition, small study groups. This also reflects the process I undertook with TKV Desikachar at his home in Chennai from 1979-2002 with predominantly private lessons supported by some short-term small group meetings around a single topic. If you are interested then please do feel free to contact me. From there I can advise you on the current state of the waiting lists, advise you on when the next Workshops may be anticipated and talk over any questions you may have. For example, you may wish to put your name down for several different Modules and I can keep you updated. Or you may prefer meanwhile to engage in one of the Online 121 eStudy Modular topics, whilst waiting to join a Live Small Group Workshop Module on another topic. This is an option that many students have found complementary and convenient within our modern lifestyle demands. |
The Yoga Study Programme offers over 400 contact hours through two-day Workshops, all with a single topic specialisation within groups of five students. Together they offer a deeper understanding of Yoga or Chant Techniques & Theory and Yoga Textual Studies. All the Module One Options are open to all. Progression to Module Two Workshops and onwards, follow on within the same topic.
Furthermore, as all the Modular Workshops are limited to a maximum of five students, they aim to facilitate an in-depth focus in terms of intensity, and relevance to group situations, all within an exclusive learning environment.
What are the advantages for those learning Yoga Practice & Yoga Texts through Live Small Group single-topic Modules?
|
Live Small Group Practice & Textual eStudy Modular options are arranged into two modularised learning streams, that of Yoga Practice and that of Yoga Texts:
1. What are the Primary Areas for the Study of Yoga Practice Techniques and Yoga Theory? As a student, we need to consider five fundamental practice areas to be prioritised and developed according to the teachings of Krishnamacharya. These are Āsana or general postures, Mudrā or special postures, Prāṇāyāma or seated breathing, Dhyānam or seated meditation and Chanting for learning as a meditational practice. Each of the five links below will take you to a page where you can explore an overview of these five topics of Āsana, Mudrā, Prāṇāyāma, Dhyānam and Chanting. Each topic offers a range of in-depth Modular Workshops for your personal practice, study interest and development, or if relevant, professional skills. The Viniyoga of Yoga Practice – Empower your Body Customising Āsana Empower your Energy Customising Mudrā Empower your Breath Customising Prāṇāyāma – Empower your Mind Customising Dhyāna – Free your Voice as a Way to Experience the Source of Vibration The study of each of these five primary Yoga Practice topics begins with a two-day Module One Workshop as a starting point for the student. From there a further range of follow-on two-day Workshop Modules are available. Together they allow a uniquely comprehensive intensive exploration of all facets of Yoga Practice Techniques and Yoga Practice Theory. |
“Yoga Practice is an essential part of Yoga Study.
Rather than Yoga Study being an essential part of Yoga Practice.”
2. What are the Primary Areas for the Study of Associated Yoga and Lifestyle Texts? As a student, we could consider six separate, yet related textual study areas that need to be prioritised and developed as essential aspects of our Yoga journey and personal development according to the teachings of Krishnamacharya. Each textual topic offers a range of in-depth Modular Workshops for your personal study interest and development, or if relevant, professional skills. The six links below will each take you to a page where you can explore an overview of the Yoga textual Studies that complement the Yoga Practice Techniques and Yoga Theory Study Modular Workshops. The Viniyoga of Textual Study – Clear your Flow Exploring Awareness within Mind and Emotions See the World through Spirit whilst Living within the Field of Nature Search your Heart in the Quest for Relationship with the Beyond Feel your Self as Essence within the Being of the Ultimate Reality Vitalize your Energy Understanding Nāḍī Prāṇa Agni Cakra Bhūta Know your Patterns within the Ebb and Flow of Seasons, Food and Lifestyle Study of each of these six primary Associated Yoga Texts topics begins with a 2-day Foundational Module One Workshop as a starting point for the student. From there a follow-on Studies range of 2-day Modular Workshop options are available. Together they allow a uniquely comprehensive intensive exploration of all facets of textual and lifestyle teachings around Yoga. |
