1 Jun (Fri) - 7.30pm to 9.00pm FREE TALK – Pratyahara: where outer becomes inner The talk will focus on understanding the concept of Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) and overviewing specific yogic practices that facilitate the experience of this state. In the tradition I come from, Pratyahara is taught in a well considered, structured and tested technique in the study of Satyananda Yoga Nidra. Satyananda Yoga Nidra is extremely conducive to the state of Pratyahara. Other practices commonly utilised in the Satyananda Yoga tradition for this purpose will be outlined also, including bandhas, mudras and pranayamas. So if you are interested in looking at the potential of yoga beyond asana I encourage you to attend this evening. If you are interested in actually learning these techniques (particularly Satyananda Yoga Nidra) a workshop will be conducted over Saturday and Sunday to this end. 2 Jun 2007 (Sat) – 9.00am to 12.00pm ; 2.00pm to 5.00pm 3 Jun 2007 ( Sun) – 9.00am to 12.00pm ; 2.00pm to 5.00pm In my experience regardless of which pathway and of which technique, one employs all types of yoga have one common goal and that is to provide us with a method or a technology by which we can go inwards to discover our own essential nature or reality. Sage Patanjali, who created what we can call a map of this inner odyssey has broken the voyage into 8 sections that start with our outer body and progressively takes us further in to deeper and more subtle components of our inner reality. Most of us are quite familiar with the outer components but not so many with the inner. The cross-road from outer to inner is known in yogic terminology as Pratyahara. Like all the other stages Pratyahara is both a state and a process. Within the Satyananda Yoga tradition, most notable and widely practiced is Satyananda Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra in the Satyananda Yoga tradition is NOT simply lying in Shavasana: it is a systematic practice with defined stages in a defined sequence each having a defined role in progressively taking us directly to our inner world. Of course Yoga Nidra has numerous other benefits and as a consequence it is a wonderful aid for everyone in the modern world whether they be casual or dedicated practitioners. Auxiliary benefits of Yoga Nidra include stress relief and relaxation, both so important in these challenging times. Over this coming weekend the purpose and particularly the practice of Satyananda Yoga Nidra will be looked at in detail stage by stage. Along with Yoga Nidra, other practices from the Satyananda Tradition that are conducive to pratyahara will also be shared. About Swami Kriyatmananda Saraswati
