EVENTS ARCHIVE

Practicing Hatha yoga affects us in various ways. By directly working on the physical body, we come to understand our body and ourselves without needing to make comparisons to other people.

In this course, we use the elements of Hatha yoga to experience how beginners can deepen their practice mainly from a physical perspective by applying physical concepts as well as theory to discover the potential effects of Hatha yoga over seven weeks.

In this 8 week course, we will investigate how the practices of Hatha Yoga can be used to bring out the best in you! Each week will include a topical discussion followed by a practice designed specifically to produce certain effects, with the aim to establish and build upon a regular personalised practice. We will look at our constitution, current habits and lifestyle, and then discuss the repertoire of tools (such as kriyas, asana, pranayama, mudras and meditation).

Weekend Workshop September 4-5, 2010

Mitake Mountain Retreat September 6-12, 2010

The aim of this course is to present the history of Indian Yoga, while attempting to answer questions that are relevant to those practicing Modern Yoga. If one knows something about the history of today's Yoga, it becomes easier to understand doctrinal differences between Indian Yoga systems and the various teachings of Gurus, and to avoid the mistake of thinking that one system of Yoga is the best because its the oldest.

Meridians are channels through which qi energy flows to nourish and energize the body. They form a matrix within which the physical body functions. They also act as a network of communication between the physical and the more subtle energetic character of the body. The meridian healing system is based on the premise that an insufficient supply of qi makes one vulnerable to disease. Restoring qi is the ultimate goal on the road to restoring overall health and wellness. In this course, we heal our bodies by stimulating the meridian system through Yoga and Thai massage.

Historically the disciplines of yoga and business share little in common and are even considered antagonistic by some. This workshop introduces yogic tools and concepts to the business environment.

This workshop will offer participants a strong foundation in the practical application of yoga and how this assists the psychological and emotional needs of the individual in the context of their career and/or their business.

Yoga is mostly practiced by following a given description of how to move, breathe and focus. This series of workshops explores the questions of ‘why?’ and ‘is this right for me?’ to assist in developing a personally more effective and suitable practice. Learn tools and receive powerful knowledge that enables you to lead an active life that improves with time. The refinement of movement and yoga practices can transform your yoga from exercise to therapy, self-improvement and health insurance. Yoga anatomy is about exploring your body and taking more ownership of it.

Yoga Philosophy Evening Workshop August 10 & 12, 2010

YogaJaya is thrilled to announce that it will be hosting the summer 2010 Japan speaking tour of one of the world’s unique adventurists and rock climbers, Steph Davis. Steph’s personal-empowerment tour is aimed at describing her life experiences to people who seek to discover within themselves their own power to be free and to pursue their dreams in all fields of endeavor.

Telling her story in words accompanied by videos and still images of her exploits, Steph describes her experiences of base jumping (parachuting off of mountain peaks), wing-suit flying (flying through the sky using nothing but a winged bodysuit) and free-solo climbing (climbing mountains alone, without any safety ropes). She presents all of these amazing feats as nothing but new ways by which she learned how to understand and overcome her deepest fears...
