Greetings Friends,

 

To those who already know this earlier, Swamis Ajnananda and

Alokananda Saraswati are conducting a retreat in Perth, Western

Australia (Yoga Healing Workshop I). Runs from 27th May to 29th May.

 

Forgot to mention that they have with them a batch of specially

handstrung and religiously sanctified Rudraksha Japa Malas, bangles

and chokers made by our group's rudraksha sadhaka (Simone).

 

Those in Perth and unable to attend the workshop but who may wish to

have a look at the Rudrakshas, can contact Sw. Ajnananda or

Alokananda on Monday 30th May by leaving a message with:

In Perth, Western Australia

 

THE YOGA HEALING WORKSHOP 1, 27th to 29th MAY 2005

 

Conducted by Swami Alokananda Saraswati

and Guest Teacher Swami Ajnananda Saraswati

 

The Workshop will incorporate the practices of Prana Vidya, Antar

Mouna, Nada and Mantra Yoga together with Agnihotra (fire ceremony).

 

According to Yoga, the quality, quantity & free flow of Prana is

essential for a healthy mind and body. This `practical' workshop

will provide techniques to help the participants not only improve

their own health but also that of others.

 

Yoga's holistic approach to Healing begins with mind/body

interaction through the focussed practice of Asana (Postures), with

specific application to organic imbalances. The practice of Antar

Mauna (Inner Silence), a codified and systematic meditation on the

mind itself, brings liberation from the thrall of repetitive and

obsessive thought patterns, and the ability to make thought both

conscious and powerful. Kshetra Shuddhi (Trigger-point

purification), combined with Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound), swiftly

restores energetic balance and is an ideal preparation for Prana

Vidya. `Prana' is the Sanskrit word for the vital force or Cosmic

Energy and `Vidya' means to know.

 

Participants will learn about the ancient Yogic Healing tradition

and experience the techniques as taught by the wandering Mendicants

of old.

 

An important aspect of the workshop is that it will be conducted in

a simple yogic environment designed to minimise distraction and

enhance healing.

 

The Teachers:

Together, the Swamis bring to you over 50 years of Yogic experience.

Swami Alokananda Saraswati was born in Kolkata, India. In 1979 she

returned to India to study full time at the Bihar School of Yoga.

She was formally recognised as a Yogacharya (Master of Yoga) by

Paramahamsa Niranjanananda of the Bihar Yoga University in 1993. She

established Yoga Centres in Tasmania, NSW and Qld before returning

to Perth in 2003, where she now teaches advanced yoga to teachers

and students while establishing Aloka's School of Yoga.

 

Swami Ajnananda Saraswati, a direct disciple of Swami Satyananda,

has been teaching aspects of Prana Vidya for 28 years, making the

techniques available to Western students in a systematic, accessible

format. He was Director of Yoga Darshan Ashram, a residential Yoga

Therapy facility, for 12 years and is the author of the award

winning manual "Mastery of Stress" (Llewellyn USA 1998).
