cYs Foundational Module One Haṭha Study – Weekend Workshop
Initiated for 2011 the IHS Programme introduces the student to a weekend on the primary principles and teachings from the major Haṭha Yoga texts. These Haṭha or energetic principles will be drawn from early formative texts such as the:
Gorakṣa Śataka
Yoga Tārāvali
Yoga Yājñavalkhya
Yoga Upaniṣad
Which formed the base, and in some cases the actual text, for the more well known medieval Haṭha triad of the:
Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā
Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā
Śiva Saṃhitā
We will explore how they inspire and guide our personal Yoga practice and study, as well as our Yoga teaching. The weekend course is complete in itself and offers a sound overview of the core principles of Haṭha Yoga.
“Haṭha Yoga is Prāṇāyāma.”
- Śrī T Krishnamacharya.
It is an opportunity for a Yoga student from any Yoga background or style to experience an in-depth introduction to the concepts and practices which underpin Haṭha Yoga.
These fundamental aspects can also be further developed through the four Foundation Haṭha Study Weekend Workshops. Here the focus will be primarily on four ancient or contemporary texts on Haṭha Yoga. We will focus on an in-depth overview of one text each weekend
To present a view of the core Haṭha concepts in Yoga through which students can support and develop their own practice and deepen their appreciation of the possibilities for why a view such as Haṭha can support our lives. Its role is not to train students as Yoga teachers.
