Click image for full size

There will be an Art of Shavasana: Subtleties of Deep Relaxation and Meditation Retreat 20th - 25th March 2017 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) in Rishikesh, India.

Guided practices done in shavasana will be taught in proper sequence, so students can better absorb and assimilate the effects and awarenesses which the posture and practices have generated.

Printouts will be given for each segment taught. Each segment will be guided separately and then students will practice that segment. There will be homework practice between lessons.

Segments will include:

• Makarasana
• Diaphragmatic breathing
• Shavasana, correct position
• Exercise without Movement
• Relaxation by first tensing each limb then relaxing
• Simple relaxation
• Subtler relaxations: right side, left side, finer tissues, internal organs
• 31 points
• 61 points
• 61 points with blue star
• 61 points with blue star with one’s mantra
• Whole body breaths: the feeling of movement, vayu, during these exercises is of the pranamaya kosha.
• 4 different patterns of whole body breaths
• Short version of quick conscious rest
• OM kriya
• Whole body breaths as taught in Path of Fire and Light under “Yoga-Nidra”
• Yoga nidra proper

Cost: Cost of SRSG hospitality plus goodwill offering for instruction
