I believe some of the folks on the Moving Into Stillness board have. I haven't, but I'd like to someday. It might do my withered little heart some good.

I went to the workshop,i think it was great.It gave me some extra tools to evolve into my daily ashtanga practice.One can definetly adopt it in whatever style of yoga they are practicing.
So the basis of the Tibetan Heart Yoga is in the following texts: the book of three beliefs the illustrated asanas of naropa illustrations for the practice of the machine of the body hatha yoga pradipika gherand sanhita shri tattva nidhi-attributed to the maharaja of mysore, they say it helped give birth to the ashtanga, iyenga and desikachar styles (Krishnamacharya's lineage) the yoga sutra They begin with visualising the body as a cristal blue light and that for neutralising whatever energy we came in on the mat. Then the visualization of a rose at the heart and a diamond in its middle.Followed by a breathing exercice to clear up ida and pingala, and a concentration exercice, perfect ten. The main idea is to dedicate your practice to someone who needs it, so we visualise someone that we know is suffering, we practice tong len, followed by a serie of asanas. What is interesting is that during the asanas we offer the person we are dedicating the practice, gifts, like gift of giving, kindness, joy, wisdom... Another interesting point that blew my mind:they say that when we have selfish thoughts we have prana flowing in pingala nadi,when we have agressive thoughts prana flows into ida, and they choke sushumna at the chakras, so no prana in sushumna.And this is how we injure ourselves during yoga (or one of the ways). (I might say that 2 of my bad injuries, right knee, right hamstring were done during "show off"). This is why we give the practice away, actually the whole philosophy is based on generosity and compassion. That is a little of the interesting things we did.. Hope it helps someone who is interested, m |

Elegant, the book is small and simple, it is great to have it, explaining the first serie,posture by posture maybe you want to check Michael Roach's lectures on diamondmtn.org/downloads/
I would recommend Karma and emptiness in the yoga sutra. If you have the opportunity to participate to one of his lecture it is a total different experience, he has the ability to make difficult concepts very accessible. |

What is up with GMR's speech pattern?
It sounds as if he has had a mild stroke. |

Shadow yoga - founded by Shandor Remete, a yogi of Hungarian origin (I think) - also looks cool. Glen B from Purple Yoga (partner of Ashtanga teacher Cathy Louise Broda) practises it. A review by Cara Jepsen about Shandor Remete can be found here.
These "alternative" styles may be quite cool and fun to do, but whether they will be able to establish themselves in the long term is another matter. ॐ |
