MY PRANA DON'T COST A THING! BECOMING CHANNELS OF LIFE FORCE ENERGY
by Ateeka Founder of Systemic Yoga

Systemic Yoga - Ateeka

Prana is the vital life force energy that pulses through the universe and sustains all life. It is a permeating energy that penetrates all spaces and is a natural birthright of all living creatures. It costs nothing and as it is inexhaustible, gives of "itself" freely. Prana is available to us through clean air, sun, water, healthy foods, movement, touch, companionship, community, energy of our ancestors and other energetic sources.

The natural world freely gives to us a never-ending supply of prana… however modern day situations may actually deplete this vital life force energy from us. Yoga practices of many different traditions through various techniques aim to enhance our awareness and capacity to cultivate and conserve prana.

In our modern society, stress is one of the most serious problems affecting health and wellness. Stress and its related symptoms can be attributed to a "system" that has fallen out of its natural balance and continues to expend rather than conserve and recycle its own prana. Stressful situations create mental and emotional incoherence, which create "holding patterns" in the body's tissues. These are places where we shut down the natural movement of life and breath through the tissue and repetitively "store" the stress that we experience in our lives. The catch is that these "holding patterns" require immense amounts of prana to maintain… prana that could be utilized for living with more energy, freedom and fun.

Yoga and meditation retreat with Paul Wooden

Paul Wooden

Resting in the effortless heart of Being

» Aug 24th – Sept 3rd 2009 - 10 days $1650

This retreat is an intimate inquiry into our immediate felt experience of the body, energy, heart and mind. Gradually we learn to open to and trust the unique texture of each of these fields of experience until we rest in the luminous clarity of Being.

A yoga retreat with Paul is an invitation to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga practice. Paul's particular way of working opens us intelligently and organically to the sensitivity necessary for the subtle inner practices to come alive in us. The subtleties of the wisdom teachings are really only revealed to us in the vivid intimacy of direct experience and it takes time and patience to learn to listen to our life this deeply.

He encourages us to engage our practice in a way that fosters a natural maturing of depth and understanding?

Come and enjoy an integrated program of asana (postures), pranayama (breath), meditation and a shared inquiry into the essential principles that guides the practice.

See website for program details www.gertrudestreetyoga.com.au

Suitable for any level of experience

Paul Wooden has been practicing and studying yoga and meditation for 25 years and teaching for 18 years. He draws from his experience in many different styles and traditions and through a practical understanding of their underlying unifying principles weaves together a cohesive and integrated approach to yoga.
