Taoist Yoga

Taoist yoga derives from the Chinese tradition of meditation and movement. It integrates the concepts of Yin and Yang through yoga postures and flows. Yin and Yang forms of Taoist yoga complement one another. In time, students of Taoist yoga can develop an awareness of the meridian systems of the body.

Yang yoga refers to more active forms of yoga that focus on strengthening the muscular body.

Yang yoga encourages energetic flow in the body through activity. It may be compared to Vinyasa or Hatha styles of Tantric yoga, and can incorporate forms from martial arts.

Yin yoga refers to slower, deeper stretching that targets the skeleton, joints, and connective tissues of the body.

Yin yoga is characterized by a passive approach that allows those tissues to open over time in a relaxed state. Yin yoga dredges out the debris that accumulates in our energetic pathways to enable a balanced and uninhibited flow of energy through the body.

Alchemical Vinyasa

Taoist Alchemy is an ancient tradition for healing, self development and enlightenment that integrates the systems of the physical and emotional body to cultivate a deep serenity and inner illumination. Alchemical Vinyasa will include practice in the 5 Elemental Phases, targeted Organ Meridian exercises, and meditation focused on transmuting human emotions into virtues.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra can be translated as Yogic Sleep or Yogic Dreaming. This deeply relaxing and restorative practice involves a systematic relaxation of our various bodies of being (physical, emotional/astral, and thinking /causal), and can be used to reset emotional and mental patterns. Like any yoga practice, over time, the physical body, emotions and mind begin to respond more and more to yoga nidra.  Read more about Yoga Nidra at TantraYogaNidra.com.
