The energising practice of Prana Kriya Yoga harmonises and unites the flow of the physical movement in our bodies (kriya) with its energetic power. This form of yoga has long been highly regarded among many great masters and yogis to hold the key to slowing down the ageing process. It achieves this by recharging the blood with oxygen and decarbonising it, thus rejuvenating the brain and spinal centres and preventing the decay of tissues in the body. Prana Kriya Yoga also awakens the hidden energy (kundalini) within you allowing you to transform and free yourself from limiting beliefs and old behavioural patterns that hold you back. Regardless of your physical strength and ability, Yogi will expertly guide you so that you can experience the layer of your highest consciousness by focusing on the fundamental principles of the practice. In this workshop we will go into fascinating detail and experience of Prana Kriya Yoga, covering kumbhakas (breath retention), mudras, kriyas and the five pranas with a focus on the practice of strengthening our heart energy. 

Yogi will lead an intriguing discussion on the foundation of yoga from a traditional perspective and how it applies in our modern day to day lives. Yoga can be viewed as a basic physical practice or it can be viewed as a way to live a meaningful and mindful life. Yoga is the life journey to know yourself, to truly know yourself and live your life based on your inner self.
Discussion topics will include managing and controlling your mind, your senses and your emotions, instead of reacting to them. The importance of transforming samkaras, which are hidden at a cellular level, created by a lifetime of emotions, stresses and memories that can result in disease, illness and poor health, i.e. poor, physical, emotional & mental health.
Yogi will provide you with direct techniques that will help you to become more aware and able to directly transform your physical, emotional & mental health.

Yoga Nidra is Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. In Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that hold emotions and memories at a cellular level.
Known as psychic yoga sleep, Yoga Nidra lets you fully rest in the body with awareness of the whole mind. The final state of openness connects inside and outside being undisturbed by samsara yet witnessing all.

The session will begin with Pranayama (control of the prana). The breath carries the life force known as prana into each person’s body and is considered to be the physical manifestation of this vital energy. As we breathe, prana is the inhalation and apana is the exhalation, and the time between the two is called samana. We will be practicing various forms or pranayama to bring prana to every part of the brain and thereby improving your mental balance and stability. We will create awareness of the body on an energetic and physical level.

Yogi will highlight the relevance and importance of meditation and mindfulness practices on the brains development and activity. Meditation practices have an amazing variety of neurological benefits – from changes in grey matter volume to reduced activity in the “me” centres of the brain (the brain network responsible for mind-wandering and self-referential thoughts – a.k.a., “monkey mind”) to enhanced connectivity between brain regions.
Meditation does produce measurable changes in our most important organ and whether you require scientific proof or not, it is never too late to being an actual practice to receive brain these impacts on your brain which will be highlighted during this session: preserve the ageing brain, reduces Activity in the brain’s “Me Center”, its effects rival antidepressants for depression, anxiety, may lead to volume changes in key areas of the brain, improves concentration and attention (only after a few days of meditation), reduces anxiety and social anxiety, can help with addiction, short meditation breaks can help kids in school

Simple mindfulness techniques calm your mind, relax the nervous system and let you feel overall positive in life while creating a healing vibration to your body.
Atma meditation means meditation of Self or of your soul. It will bring the power of the universe into you aligning your individual self with that of the universe and make you realise the centre of your individual reality. By experiencing this space, you will create a multitude of benefits and positive developments in your life. Because you are aligning with universal energy and truth, your individual reality will alter as will your perception of your life, allowing real changes to take place.
Atma meditation will renew your energy, heighten intelligence by awakening and altering your perceptions, help you to have greater self-awareness, feel a connection to yourself, to others and to a source greater than you. Each and every one of us is entitled to feel greater inner peace, love, joy and fulfilment, happiness, freedom and success and this meditation will allow you to have access to the source within YOU from which these experiences can develop and make them a natural part of your life and who you are. It will help you to feel a connection to the energy of the universe.
