Spring Workshop  - Open to all, no experience necessary. Come to 1, 2 or 3 classes.  A great way to experience Shadow Yoga between our 8 week programs utilising the energy of Spring!  A great time of year to start something new, create new habits and to feel abundance in our bodies.  AND THE MORNINGS ARE WONDERFUL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR

SHADOW YOGA, the science of enlightenment, as taught by Sundernath and Emma Balnaves, initiates of the Kanpatha Hatha Yogins of Nepal, descendants of Sri Gorakhnath.

A full practice yoga Sadhana utilising Charanas, Preludes and Asana, that bring knowledge and awareness to the elements, marmas, chakras, vayus and nadis.

Invocations and pranams, bandahs and kriyas integrated and alive.

Spring equinox class

Tuesday 23 september

6 - 8am

A special class, early in the morning to benefit from the celestial energy of the Equinox that calls us to return to balance.  We will have time to explore some of the more accessible attributes of the Shadow Yoga repertoire, using repetition to steady the mind and breath.  We will have time to hold some of the symmetrical stances and asana, communicating to our physical structure what is ever present in the natural world; a constant seeking of equilibrium.  So if you are feeling a little lost at the moment, or in despair of  the mundane world, this community class will give you a moment in time to pause and feel a little lighter.  You will also learn a practice you can try at home, a mantra to utilise and a corresponding hand mudra.

8 Week Spring Shadow Yoga Program

October 6 - November 30

  • 3 Classes a week to choose from

  • come once or twice a week or three times if you are really keen

  • flexibility between classes

Mondays 6 - 7.30PM

Wednesdays 6.30 - 8AM

Sundays 9 - 10.30aM

This 8 week Spring Shadow Yoga Program focuses on the development of full practice traditional yoga Sadhana (a daily practice to attain knowledge or designed goal or spiritual development) as taught by my teachers Sundernath and Emma Balnaves founders of Shadow Yoga. 

Every class utilises Charanas (churnings or warmups), a Prelude form (standing sequences) and Asanas (seats that bring awareness to the elements, marmas, chakras, vayus and nadis). You will also be introduced to invocations and pranams, bandahs and kriyas. 

Repetition and incremental learning is used to help the student be more confident in doing a yoga practice in their own time and space as this is where the magic happens.

Weekly classes - 8 week programs

Weekly classes are run in 8 week blocks. Classes are run inline with the Victorian State school terms.Workshops and intensives are run between terms 3-4 times each year.

The 8 week term classes focus on the development of full practice traditional yoga Sadhana (a daily practice to attain knowledge or designed goal or spiritual development) as taught by my teachers Sundernath and Emma Balnaves founders of Shadow Yoga.

Every class utilises Charanas (churnings or warmups), a Prelude form (standing sequences) and Asanas (seats that bring awareness to the elements, marmas, chakras, vayus and nadis). You will also be introduced to invocations and pranams, bandahs and kriyas.

Repetition and incremental learning is used to help the student be more confident in doing a yoga practice in their own time and space as this is where the magic happens.

Classes are taught in an inclusive environment.  There are no levels and all bodies and life stages are welcome. As Sundernath says ‘yoga is for anyone who has an interest in yoga’.

You are encouraged to sign up for the term as weekly classes enable you to build on what you learnt the week before. However, reality for some makes this impossible and so single classes are also available.

Tiered pricing, concession rate for hardship, student, un or under employed, yoga teachers. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if more financial support is required.
