Hosted by Yoga Among Friends at The Masonic Temple, 923 Curtis St, Downers Grove
- Fri, March 5, 2010 to Sun, March 7, 2010

 Join master teacher, Rod Stryker for his return to Yoga Among Friends and what promises to be an inspiring and life-changing weekend. Each class includes theory and practice. All levels welcome. 

Friday night
Tantra Vidya, Kundalini & the Subtle Body

Through theory and practice we explore the science of Tantra, highlighting the ancient tradition’s approach to asana and beyond and its vision of where and how the worlds of mind, body and spirit meet. Class includes discussion and practice. 

Saturday AM
Sun Practice: Awakening the Force of Transformation

We focus on the approach to practice that links us to prana or life force. Sun practices allow us to increase vitality, subtle awareness, passion, and power. “Solar” energy leads to shining, both internally and externally and is the foundation for the final and most powerful stage of practice. 

Saturday PM
Moon Practice: Centering and Balancing

Activation of the lunar force creates a rhythm of 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. These practices are key to awakening hidden intelligence, and intuition. 

Sunday AM
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 in order to accesst the dormant channel within the spine.

 

Sunday PM
The Yoga of Meditation
In this workshop we demystify meditation and delve into the practices that allow the flower of Yoga’s sublime vision to fully bloom. We explore three different Yogic approaches to meditation along with their particular benefits for you or your students. This is an experiential workshop and includes theory and discussion. All Levels.
