SUMMARY:Breath Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“One who has mastered the breath has discovered Superconsciousness.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nWithin the teachings of the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation\, the practice of breath and pranayama exercises is one of the most important preparations for experiencing the depths of the practice of meditation. \nSwamiji writes\, “Often we see a rush to learn advanced pranayamas. This is being done without training the breath\, without making it slow\, subtle\, deep. In our tradition there are multiple paths and exercises for achieving the full benefits from subtleties of breath.” \nIn the Himalayan Tradition\, preliminary to the practice of pranayama\, an emphasis is placed on correct posture to enable correct diaphragmatic breathing and the subtle elements of breath awareness as taught by the Himalayan sages. Mastery of these serves as a foundation for more advanced pranayamas\, which flow as a continuum into the practices of sense withdrawal\, concentration and meditation. \nThis special retreat with John Sellinger is a unique opportunity to learn the subtleties of breath practices. We will practice pranayamas thrice daily. The programme is open for both complete beginners and practitioners. There will be daily instructional sessions and theory/philosophy sessions about breath and pranayamas. Of greatest importance in the programme is the emphasis on guided personal practice. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nScience of Breath by Swami Rama\, Dr. Rudolph Ballentine\, and Dr. Alan Hymes.\nA Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\n Meditation and Its Practice by Swami Rama\nPath of Fire and Light (Vol. 2) by Swami Rama\nYogic Practices of the Himalayan Tradition as taught by H.H. Swami Rama of the Himalayas by Dr. Prakash Keshaviah\nWhat Really Is Pranayama? by Swami Veda Bharati\nDiaphragmatic Breathing by Swami Veda Bharati\n14 Breath and Meditation Practices by Swami Veda Bharati

SUMMARY:Breath Seminar 2017
DESCRIPTION:Marilou Hermens will be teaching the 2017 Breath Seminar 31st October – 4th November 2017 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG)\, Rishikesh\, India. She will be assisted by senior teachers and the SRSG teaching staff. \nThis retreat will include subtleties of breath practices. \n“An intensive practice of Pranayama’s 3 times a day! It is a true gift to yourself. Complete breath\, kapalabhati (different levels for beginners and advanced)\, bhastrika (different levels for beginners and advanced)\, bhramari\, ujjayi\, nadi shodhanam (different types). All will be built up from the basics as has been taught by Swami Veda Bharati and on different levels for beginners and advanced practitioners. This seminar can be done while remaining in silence to deepen your personal inner journey. Beginners and advanced practitioners are all welcome and will be guided according to their level.” \n– Marilou Hermens \nMarilou: “It is my greatest desire to help as many people to learn to breathe healthy. The effects of a healthy diaphragmatic breathing are unprecedented. The breath is influenced by physical effort\, thoughts and emotions. The special feature is that the breath always keeps going. The trick is to learn to guide the breathing itself: the right place with the diaphragm\, slower\, quieter\, without fits and starts\, silently\, through the nose. The Himalayan Tradition teaches how with just small adjustments your practice and experience of stillness will deepen so much more. As the breathing is always central in all my classes of yoga and meditation and in every second of my daily life\, my senses have been trained to observe and to help others ” \nOpen to all \nCost: Cost of SRSG hospitality plus goodwill offering for instruction. \nMarilou Hermens is a faculty member of HYT-TTP (Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program)\, teaches at the teacher training retreats at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, and serves as a mentor; she also has a center in the Netherlands.
