The following describe the
InnerTuning® categories for Individual sessions to learn or refine the
practice of various yoga movements. Practices are advised according to
individual needs determined after assessment.
CONSULTATION AREAS:
PRANAYAMAS (breathing practices)
Prana is the basic fabric of the entire universe; it
is the life principle. Pranayama is a precise and systematic process by which
the internal pranic volume is increased. It is also a technique through which
the quality of prana in the body is enhanced. The nadis (subtle energy
pathways) are purified during this process and prana is channeled into the
higher chakras.
KRIYAS (ancient purification
practices)
Kriyas specifically increase the
vital capacity of the practitioner. They were designed to create harmony and
balance in the body and mind and to prepare one for further sadhana. They can
also be used in a therapeutic context.
The kriyas can be summed up in
one word – purification. When the different systems of the body have been
purified, the overall result is that energy can flow through the body freely.
They are very powerful practices that should be learned only from a qualified
teacher.
–JALA NETI & SUTRA NETI (NASAL
CLEANSING)
Sutra and jala neti exert a profound physiological
effect on the body and mind. On the physical level, irrigation of the nasal
mucus removes accumulated mucus from the nostrils, associated passages and
sinuses, allowing air to flow without obstruction. It aids in overcoming
hypersensitivity of the nose and allergies. It also stimulates the function of
the sixth chakra.
– VAMAN DHOTI
Vaman dhoti
strengthens the solar plexus, which is the nerve center connected with manipura
chakra. The upward movement activates all the chakras within the vertebral
column and the surrounding nadis. Nerve impulses rush up from the base of the
spine to the medulla oblongata and ajana chakra.
– SHANKA
PRAKSHALANA
Cleanses the digestive track and removes toxins from
the body. It creates internal awareness which develops tremendous will power
enhancing stamina and forebearance. This is a four to five hour intense
procedure, the whole day should be set aside as rest is necessary after the
practice. There are dietary restrictions for a week after this practice.
– TRATAKA
Tratak, meditation on light, can aid
in the process of concentration. Through its practice we can learn to penetrate
the world of names and forms to perceive the timeless essence within.
– KAPALBHATI
Kapalabhati is a pranayama technique
which invigorates the entire brain and awakens the dormant centers which are
responsible for subtle perception. Bhala and Kapal means the cranium or
forehead. Bhati is light or splendor, but it also means perception.
DEEP RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
P.E.T. (pranic energizing
technique)
Pranic energizing technique is an advanced
technique of yoga in which we use prana shakti to energize our entire body.
Each and every organ and system of the body can be revitalized by this process.
Of particular importance is its effect on the immune system, which is
strengthened by this practice.
INNERTUNING® OF THE ELEMENTS
The right hemisphere of the brain is stimulated by
visualizing specific forms. These practices strengthen and purify the subtle
body and energize specific chakras.
