What happens when we increase our capacity for listening? What new portals open up when we feel truly heard? What can the darshan (view) and sadhana (sacred practice) of tantric hatha yoga teach us about coming into right relationship with ourselves, each other and our planet in the 21st century?
These are a few of the questions that we will explore in SHRUTI// Learning to Listen, an online, transformative practice immersion with Kelly Sunrose.
Immersions are an opportunity to deepen your connection to the authentic lineage of yoga and to drop more deeply into your own capacity for embodied wisdom and compassion.
- Deepen your practice beyond postures and into the fullness of your life.
- Connect the wisdom of the ages to current conditions on our planet and in our lives.
- Do more/Be MORE with your practice.
- Become more skillful in relating with discomfort in pursuit of collective liberation.
- Support and be supported by a sangha (community) of fellow devoted practitioners.
Kelly has been guiding students through immersive study of the primary yogic source texts and their application to practice and real life since 2014. The communities created through intensive study periods are a container for deeper transformation through shared practice, study and connection.
In this immersion, we’ll weave the wisdom and practices of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika with up-to-the-moment studies in communication and relationality to create a potent space for becoming more grounded in the great lineage of tantric hatha yoga while increasing our capacity to be more present and clear in our relationships.
The practices we will engage with include:
- Reading and reflecting on texts;
- Svadhyaya (self-study);
- Asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantra, meditation and nada practices (movement, breath, seals, bonds, chants, meditation and sound) from the hatha yoga lineage;
- Listening, speaking and writing.
How it works:
- The course runs from September 14- October 30, 2020.
- During the course dates, students will receive an email on Mondays detailing our work for the week and links to our ZOOM classroom spaces.
- Wednesdays, we meet LIVE via ZOOM 12-1:30pm PST for an open practice space. This is a fluid space; we can read, meditate, talk or move together. It is a collaboratively facilitated space where students decide how best to use the time together.
- Fridays, we meet LIVE via ZOOM 12-2pm PST for class. This class is recorded via audio and video and links to those replays are emailed to students as soon as possible after class.
