But the ancient hatha yogins viewed pranayama as the gateway to meditation and realization. These teachers maintained that control of the breath/vital force (prana) led to quieting the mind, making it fit for meditation. This four-week course will explore core hatha yoga concepts of the breath and subtle body on physical and energetic levels. Led by David Black, an experienced teacher/practitioner each class will consist of exposition, demonstration, and practice of the actual techniques, including postures, kriyas, minor and major pranayamas, bandhas, mudras, and meditation. Materials will be provided for establishing a home practice. The teacher and teachings have a direct link to the traditional theories and methods as set forth in the seminal text Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The course is open and available to students of all levels from beginners to advanced. You may pre-register at the Zen Buddhist Temple, (734) 761-6520 or [email protected] Cost is $60 for all four sessions.
