Meditation Yoga

Yoga works not just because of the physical postures that the body takes. There is also the mental focus, and slowly an evolution of many different aspects. In this Meditation Yoga class, we focus on preparing the body and mind so that meditation becomes a natural process for you.

Here you learn an ancient yoga practice called Surya Kriya. "Surya" means "sun" and "kriya" means "inner energy process" This is a holistic practice for complete inner wellbeing. It incorporates physical postures and trains the mind for clarity and focus. It is a powerful process and can be a very meditative experience.

Program Conditions

1. Attendance.
Attendance to both sessions is compulsory. If you cannot make one of the sessions, please schedule a different class or speak with the teacher. Please do not practice half-learned yoga.
Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes before the class starts and allow yourself to settle.

2. Empty Stomach.
You must come to the class on an empty stomach. This is a very subtle process. In the tradition they say when you practice Hata Yoga, it should be just the body.

To help ensure that, this means you come to the class at least:
(4 hours) after a meal
(2 1/2 hours) after a snack
(45 minutes) after a cigarette
(30 minutes) after a beverage other than water
(10 hours) after consuming alcohol

Water is fine before the class, but please try to take care of restroom breaks before the class or during the break so that you don't miss out.
(Don't worry, this isn't hot yoga so you shouldn't have to worry about sweating it all out.)

(If you are diabetic or hypoglycemic or have any similar conditions, please list it above in the health section so that the teacher can speak with you before the class. This should not be an issue, and we would like to be able to take care of any special considerations beforehand so that you can just focus on the class.)

I have read and agree to the program conditions.

Required

The purpose of this class is to impart Surya Kriya as a living yoga practice to the students. You come away with a self-sufficient, powerful yogic process that you can incorporate into your daily schedule however best you see fit without the need for a gym or equipment. That does not mean, however, that you are on your own after the class is finished. A free correction and followup session can be scheduled at the end of the program, and all practice questions and concerns can be sent to Rishi at ibyish@gmail.com or (615)-768-YOGA(9642).

Rishi was trained at the Isha School of Hata Yoga in southern India.
