The Ancient Science of Yoga
Beyond the Asana: Pranayama, Chakras, Yantra & Esoteric Teachings
In this two hour workshop, discover the deeper dimensions of yoga and explore what lies beyond the physical posture. We will weave pranayama, the chakra system, the sacred geometry of the poses (yantra), and the esoteric teachings underlying the practice into an integrated exploration of yoga.
Drawing from the ancient traditions of Hatha Yoga and Tantra, Saraswati Om guides students into a deeper understanding of the principles underlying the practice. Explore the relationship between the physical form of asana, the sacred geometry expressed through yantra, and the consciousness that brings the practice to life.
Through experiential practice, traditional teachings, and guided exploration, we will investigate how yoga becomes more than a physical discipline. It becomes a pathway to embodiment, inner awareness, and a deeper understanding of the subtle dimensions of existence.
Three Dimensions of the Practice
Throughout this workshop, we will explore three interconnected dimensions of yoga:
1. The Outer Form Asana & Geometry
Explore the physical expression of the pose through form, proportion, alignment, and geometry. Discover how the body creates shapes that awaken states of consciousness, stability, and embodiment.
2. The Sacred Form Yantra & Symbolism
Enter the world of yantra and sacred geometry as understood within traditional yogic and Tantric teachings. Explore the symbolic relationship between geometric form, cosmic principles, and the sacred patterns underlying spiritual practice.
3. The Inner Consciousness Awareness & Intention
Investigate the consciousness behind the pose: the awareness, intention, and inner state that transform physical movement into contemplative practice. Explore how breath, attention, and presence can deepen our relationship with asana and yoga as a path of self-inquiry.
What You Will Learn
Explore traditional pranayama practices and their place within the broader system of yoga.
Develop an understanding of the chakra system and its role in yogic teachings.
Discover yantra and sacred geometry as expressions of sacred form and symbolic consciousness.
Explore the relationship between physical posture, geometric principles, and the consciousness behind the pose.
Deepen your understanding of yoga as an integrated practice of movement, breath, subtle energy, and awareness.
Receive take home handouts with key teachings, practice guidance, and reflection prompts to support your continued study.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is designed for dedicated yoga students, yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, and curious seekers who wish to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga beyond the physical postures.
It is especially suited to those drawn to the philosophy, symbolism, subtle-body practices, and esoteric teachings of the yogic and Tantric traditions.
A foundation in yoga is helpful, but an open mind and a sincere desire to learn are most important.
The Intention
To deepen our understanding of yoga as an integrated path of movement, breath, sacred form, and consciousness. Through experiential practice and ancient teachings, we explore how the outer form of asana, the sacred geometry of yantra, and the inner awareness behind the pose come together to create a more embodied, contemplative, and meaningful relationship with yoga.
Go beyond the poses. Explore the sacred form, the science of breath, and the consciousness that brings the practice to life.
