Weekend workshop - Matěj Jurenka 17. - 18. 7. 2010
Shrivatsa yoga - without the beginning and end
We would like to invite you for two days of Shrivatsa yoga, led by Matěj Jurenka.
About Shrivatsa Yoga
The symbol of Shrivatsa symbolizes the unification of the "old" Yoga school and the "new" Yoga school. It also links the yogic practices with other spiritual practices like taichi and qigong. In Shrivatsa Yoga, the practice is "endless", without limitations. Since the symbol of Shrivatsa Yoga is also a sacred symbol used in connection with the spirit world, it creates a bridge between Yoga and Shamanic Healing. In meditation, the visualization of the shrivatsa symbol helps to open the heart chakra, allowing cosmic prana to get in to heal us, protect us and guide us.
