“Advancing Your Yoga Practice”
10am – 4pm, $150 (including light lunch)
Your yoga is direct intimacy with nurturing source. Learn simple principles of personal practice to make yoga entirely your own, efficient, powerful and safe.
Breath, asana and bandha integrate as a seamless design. Apply breath and bandha efficiently to produce a powerful practice that is right for you. Introducing breath and bandha as the central feature of your asana, adding these principles to the Yoga you already know and love.
Asana is hatha yoga and Hatha yoga is tantra, the non-dual practice. What does this statement mean? ‘Ha tha’ equals ‘strength receiving’ which has profound implication to our life, health and sex. How do we make sure our asana is actually hatha yoga?
Workshop will include the Yoga of Patanjali, an in depth study of the first four sutras of Patanjali’s Yoga sutra and the first sutra of book two: on the three qualities or actions of personal yoga practice.
Mark Whitwell has enjoyed a life long relationship with the teachings of Professor T. Krishnamacharya ‘the teacher of the teachers’. Soon to be released his new book is The Promise, The Secrets of Sex, Love and Intimacy. Mark lives in Los Angeles and Fiji. He travels throughout the world teaching the timeless principles of ancient yoga wisdom.

According to the great “teacher of our teachers” T. Krishnamacharya, yoga must be adapted to the individual, not the individual adapted to the style of yoga. For your yoga practice to be most fruitful, it must be in harmony with your body type, age, health, and even cultural background.
This workshop is a unique opportunity to work with one of the most experienced yoga teachers in the world to design your own personal yoga practice. No matter what style of yoga you are currently practicing, you will be able incorporate the insights gleaned from this personal practice development to make your yoga more efficient, powerful, and safe.
You’ll also learn to integrate breath, asana, and bandha as a seamless process and as you deepen into this understanding, personalised for you, you discover more completely that yoga is your direct connection with reality – an entirely abundant, regenerating, and nurturing power. Everyone, from beginners to experienced practitioners, is invited to attend.
“I tried many different yoga traditions over many years but could never keep up a regular practice. When I met Mark and studied under him, yoga became a joy and a pleasure. After a few months of a simple daily practice, my life felt different in many ways. With Mark’s approach, there is nowhere to go, no higher place to reach, no need to stretch the body beyond where it is comfortable, there’s just a flow and a connection with nurturing source. He teaches from a place of ancient pure wisdom, and is a total joy to be with”.
