The Second Series is called Nadi Shodhana, “the cleansing of the little rivers.” This potent practice helps us cleanse our subtle bodies, by clearing out the channels through which our internal breath can move.…

These channels become obstructed with the sediment of the past, with fragments of thought, feeling and memory that have not been integrated into our minds. The practice helps us dislodge these fragments and release them into the fire of awareness, so they can burn back into the emptiness from which they arose.

In this intensive, we explore the psychodynamics behind this crucial internal process. We learn how the Second Series moves energy through the body, how it dredges up psychical material, and how to work with that material in intelligent ways. To this end, we explore the energetic signatures of the postures, as well as the sequences of breath, movement and awareness to which they belong. We develop strategies for working constructively with difficult forms, and for adapting the postures to our unique bodies and circumstances.

We recommend that you have practiced the First Series of Ashtanga or another Vinyasa-Style of yoga for some time before attending this workshop. A stable background in the grounding effects of practice will support you as you explore the more stimulating and demanding postures in the Second Series. People with injuries and other limitations who otherwise meet these requirements are absolutely welcome to attend.
