The ancient tradition of Tantra maps the entire spectrum and sacred journey of Hatha Yoga. According to these teachings there are three stages of practice: Moon, Sun, and Fire. Ancient wisdom tells us that knowing how and when to apply these practices is key to realizing the promise of yoga and achieving lasting happiness and success. Understanding the progression of these three stages and the signs and symptoms that prepare us to meet our needs and goals for our practice unlocks the potential of practice.
Join master teacher, Yogarupa Rod Stryker, for an inspiring and potentially life-changing weekend. Each class includes theory and practice; all levels welcome.
Saturday AM: 9:00 – 12:00PM
Sun Practice: Awakening the Force of Transformation
We focus on the approach to practice that links us to and allows us to master prana, or life force. Sun practices increase vitality, subtle awareness, passion, and power. They unlock the subtle forces that lead to the final stages and highest goals of practice. “Solar” energy leads to shining, both internally and externally and is the foundation for the final and most powerful stage of practice.
Saturday PM: 1:30 – 4 PM
Moon Practice: Centering and Balancing
Activation of the lunar force creates healing, peace and wisdom. These practices stimulate the nurturing energy that allows us to remain calm in the midst of turbulence, steady in the midst of change. They also lead to mastery of mind and are key to awakening hidden intelligence and intuition.
Sunday AM: 9:30 – 12:30 PM
Fire Practice: Discovering and Living the Ultimate Aim of Practice
The ultimate aim of Yoga practice is to awaken our inner fire––the force of Spirit. Activation of the subtle force of fire leads to extraordinary perception and living. Practice focuses on generating the energy that dissolves inertia and the final obstacles to the highest state of Yoga.
Sunday PM: 2:30-5pm
Vinyasa: Worship at the Lotus of the Heart
According to some schools of Tantra, the ultimate aim of practice is to embody Sri. The session will feature dynamic asana practice as well as yoga nidra. We will dive into the heart of Tantra’s sublime vision, leading you to experience the body as the altar of life and the source--the all-encompassing beauty and joy--that is the soul of the universe.
