In this seminar, you will learn in depth about the different aspects of Kundalini - both the powerful and the dangerous dimensions of this energy. You will also learn about the relationship between Kundalini and quantum physics, as well as how to awaken and unlock the "kundalini" while fully mastering its immense energy.

About shakti mhi

shakti mhiAfter nearly 30 years of personal practice and teaching thousands of students around the globe, shakti mhi has made Yoga her passion and her life's purpose. From living on a Yoga ashram in India, to spending a year in contemplation in a middle-eastern desert, as well as taking advanced training at Yoga centres from a number of Hatha-based traditions, her knowledge base is extraordinary. Since 1982, shakti has also trained hundreds of Yoga teachers, who are sought after by yoga studios and practitioners around the world.

Yoga Nidra - with Armand Sagredo

Armand SagredoYoga Nidra means Yogic sleep. This part of the Tantric Yoga tradition uses a specific practice which induces extraordinarily deep relaxation. Far more than just relaxation technology, it is a way to penetrate the veil which separates the conscious and subconscious minds. An active guided meditation using technology only recently confirmed by neuro-scientific research, it is used to manifest any desired condition and especially higher intentions in ones existence. In the tradition on the yogic practice yoga nidra is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma.

Date: Sat. May 30th 2:00pm - 4:00pm @ Stanley Park

Location: 610 Pipeline Rd., Stanley Park Rose Gardens (Opposite the Malkin Bowl). Stanley Park Pavilion on the 2nd Floor (Stanley Park Ecology Society building).
