Come and explore the Substance of Life Itself:

RELATIONSHIP

Nisarga Yoga's Way | Yoga's Middle Way

or Yoga the Way of Nature

Life Itself is the Ultimate Feedback System

Another name for Relationship is The Middle Way

Instead of focusing mostly on the physical as in Hatha Yoga, or mostly on the energetic as in Kundalini and Chakra Yoga,
Nisarga Yoga focuses on the Relationship Space where the Physical and Energic are in Dynamic Balance as in Nature.

Imagine tapping into the most powerful force in the universe... the Power of Nature for:

Healing ~ Relaxation ~ Strength & Gentleness ~ Vitality ~ Well Being

What you will learn is how Yoga is Relationship and how
the laws of Natural Order are the same
regardless of whether you use them
to get your belly from Fat to Flat or
to get your wallet from Flat to Fat.

The evidence of the Power of Nature
is all around you and within you.
Albert Einstein quantified nature's power with his famous equation E = mc²
(I'll explain this equation in simple, everyday terms - see below)

Nature is the unsurpassed model of excellence. There is no better teacher.
You access it by understanding RELATIONSHIP whereby you live your true nature.

For example:
In the tsunami that occured on Dec 26/04 many human beings died
yet animals moved to safety because they are attuned with nature.

"The mind is more comfortable in a landscaped park because it has been planned through thought; it has not grown organically. There is an order here that the mind can understand. In the forest, there is an incomprehensible order that to the mind looks like chaos. It is beyond the mental categories of good and bad.

You cannot understand it through thought, but you can sense it when you let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.

Only then can you be aware of the sacredness of the forest. As soon as you sense that hidden harmony, that sacredness, you realize you are not separate from it, and when you realize that, you become a conscious participant in it.

In this way, nature can help you become realigned with the wholeness of life."

~ Eckhart Tolle -- A New Earth

Seminar Schedule:

A Day of Nisarga Yoga: the synthesis of Raja/Mind and Hatha/Body via the Ultimate Force of Nature.

9 to 10:15 AM: Right Understanding; (the nature of nature, your nature, the Mother of All Forces, yoga/coupling)

Here's some of what you will learn in the Information Session:

• how Nature's Way is the MIDDLE WAY of ENERGY whether you are speaking about lightening, the heat from our sun, tides, etc, or the energy that sustain's your life and health...
• how this understanding of MIDDLE WAY of ENERGY Flow and Form applies to your yoga practice;
• what the most famous and most powerful, yet least understood equation of all math and physics (Einstein's E = mc²) actually means - I'll make this very simple and clear - you will understand it with just 4 words - yet this will forever alter the way you view things like your yoga practice and your life;
• how to work with the energy level of your bodymind in a way that honours all aspects of being (from energy medicine to being in the zone);
• a simple way to access the Power of Now - this is more than the fact that 'Breathing anchors you in the Now';
• understand what the Feeling Space of Yoga and being means and why the MIDDLE WAY is so powerful.
