DAVID LONSDALE HOLISTIC YOGA & SHIATSU
HOLISTIC YOGA
based upon Satyananda Yoga
Satyananda Yoga uses different forms of yoga to address the different aspects of your personality. In this way the mental, physical, energetic, psychic and spiritual aspects are balanced, cleaned, stimulated or calmed and strength is developed in all these aspects.
None of this can happen without developing awareness, which in turn leads to increasingly deeper states of consciousness. We only use 10% of our brain at present. Yoga will allow you to expand and stimulate dormant parts of the brain leading to the discovery and development of your hidden talents, strengths and potential. This will influence in a positive the way how you feel and see both yourself as well as the world around you. It will enable you to live life to the full, with good health, happiness, peace of mind and optimism.
Regular yoga practice slows the process of aging and balances all the metabolic functions of the body. It develops concentration, memory, the patience to deal calmly with problems and the insight to make the correct decisions.
Introduction classes in Satyananda Yoga (open to all)
The introduction classes are intended to develop greater physical, mental and energy awareness by synchronising the focus between the breathing, awareness of thoughts and the experience of subtle reactions.
Beginning with postures and movements which prevent arthritis and rheumatism, going on to strengthening and balancing of the digestive system and the removal of blockages in the hips.
Vital life energy in the body will be increased using Pranayama techniques.
Simple preparations for meditation, along with yoga nidra, will be slowly introduced to balance and direct energy in the body and increase awareness and to develop one-pointed focus, therefore strengthening the mind and willpower.
The Introduction classes are also intended for new people and for those who cannot attend the Going Deeper classes regularly. After regular and consecutive attendance of 2 blocks of 12 Introduction classes, participants can ask to join the Going Deeper classes.
The Curriculum
Awareness of physical body including posture, mobility, strengths and weaknesses
Awareness of breathing
Awareness of thoughts and mental fluctuations
Gradual strengthening and correction of physical posture
Gradual strengthening, cleansing and increasing of lung capacity

Gradual increase in willpower, self discipline and the integration of yoga in daily life
Gradual ability to sit comfortably and without moving
Gradual increase in awareness and sensitivity to feelings in the body
Building a solid physical, physiological and mental foundation as preparation for the Going Deeper classes
