Yantra Yoga The Tibetan Yoga of Movement !

The past 2 years i have been studying and practicing Yantra Yoga the Buddhist parallel of the Hathayoga of the Hindu tradition. Yantra yoga is  a very ancient system of yoga entailing body movements , breathing exercises and visualizations and  was first taught in Tibet in the 8th century. It was orally transmitted  by the great master Padmasambhava  to the Tibetan translator and Dzogchen master Vairochana.It was first brought in the west by Chogyal Namkai Norbu in the earlyl 70's and by staying very very close to the tradition its value is still alive for us. Rinpoche taught this method because he thought it was very helpful for people. Foe anyone , it does not matter if you are buddhist or no buddhist , if you are spiritual or not spiritual , if you are old or young , flexible or not. What is important is that through this practice we can coordinate out energy. Many problems in our life is because our energy is not harmonious. So if we can coordinate our energy this can be beneficial for everyone. And how we do that in Yantra yoga ? Through the movement of the body , the correct breathing and relaxing finally our mind.  I did my teacher's training level 2 this August and while waiting to be an authorized Yantra yoga teacher by my Master Chogyal Namkai Norbu i am allowed to teach Yantra yoga level 1 to my already existing students.

Off for my Tibetan Yoga teacher's training level 2 !!!

The 2nd term of 2014 has been completed on Thursday July 31st , and off i go to study Yantra Yoga , the Tibetan Yoga of movement which i have been studying and practicing since 2012 as a continuation of my 12 year Satyananda Yoga training and my 8 year non stop all year young teaching .I am feeling content and ready for a new boost of energy and inspiration. Wishing you all a happy August holiday ,keep up with your practices together with your holiday and see you back in  September.

Overall of 1st term of 2014 !

Since September that we started I realized that very few could afford to attend apart from daily meetings extra seminars to deepen their knowledge on various topics and aspects of yoga that could assist them in self awareness and daily practice so i adapted a new way of delivering this precious knowledge i studied and inherited from the masters of our tradition. While having our yogic tea until we all gather i have been teaching all the yogic philosophy in stages. Includes :

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2014 !!

Moments of bliss while sharing the love in the Christmas celebrations this year again.
Some exceptionally moving days ,where after each one had  shared the  challenging and good moments of whole of 2103 and how the practices of yoga contributed in handling them in the best of ways, i gave the gifts that included a quote .....and to the one that wanted to balance the giving, she received a quote about service, the one that was struggling with discipline received a quote about Discipline, the one that was dealing with anger and expressing the real Self received the adequate , the one that was struggling with negativity , received one about negative thoughts and so on.
I am ever so grateful to have such sencere practitioners, that year after year we grow together through sharing the love and light that i received from my teachers .
Wishing us all a Peaceful Creative 2014 with love light health wealth and prosperity.
The studio remains closed from December 23rd till January 7th.
Sending you all my love and good wishes
