Path to Nrtta Sadhana Programme - part 1 of 4
This module consists of 5 x 75 min classes. The number of classes may be increased as per the requirement of the individual.
The module will commence with a focus on the 3rd prelude form; Kartikkeya Mandalam, ensuring there is a steady foundation upon which to proceed. It doesn't need to be perfect, but you need to know what you're doing and have the tools to reflect and improve upon it during your self-practice. If you are not familiar with this, or the other shadow yoga forms, please start with Yoga Module 1.
An individualised āsana vinyāsa (postures linked together in a sequence) will be given according to the students level of experience
Several simple mantras will be given to help focus the mind inward, whilst preparing for future modules that involve more subtle levels of practice
One class will focus on rudimentary-level Sanskrit pronunciation. This complements the mantra work and lays a helpful foundation for a future course on Mantra Sadhana.
More detail on course content can be provided on request
Note: students wishing to proceed with this course must be adept with the shadow yoga preludes, having learned them from an approved shadow yoga teacher.
If you and I are not already acquainted, I would need to observe your practice before accepting you onto this course; this can be done in a 1:1 private class booking.
Furthermore, proceeding beyond this module requires ‘in real life’ tuition. Prohibitive situations where you live in another country and it simply isn't possible to attend in-person classes with me, or another shadow yoga teacher can be discussed if necessary.

Schedule:
Although these are private bookings, the dates and times of classes must be committed to upon the commencement of each module and cannot be changed thereafter, extenuating circumstances notwithstanding.
As with all yoga practice, refrain from eating for at least 1 ½ - 2 hours beforehand, Depending on your digestion, it might be helpful to leave even longer; listen to your body.
Always take care to stay within your own personal realm of ability. NEVER push or try to force yourself into a posture as this is when you are most likely to hurt yourself. PLEASE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN BODY. It really isn’t important if you can ‘get into the position’ or not, it’s HOW YOU PRACTICE that counts.
As a rough guide consider this: if you are struggling to breathe properly, you are not practising properly.
If you think they might be necessary, grab yourself some props beforehand and keep them close by just in case. This could be yoga blocks and bolsters etc... but you can make do with folded/rolled up towels or blankets if you don't have any, and if you don't have yoga straps to help you with a forward bend for instance, just use a belt or old tie.
