What is the Yogic Ladder?
ONE PATH, FOUR DIMENSIONS
These four dimensions of practice are complementary ways of exploring the same reality. Whether you are new to Yoga or have been practising for years, every session offers an opportunity to discover something new and take another step on the Yogic Ladder. Explore these dimensions, deepen your practice and discover how Yoga can become a living understanding of yourself and life itself.
Online Pranayama session with ViGo
Explore the dimension of Prana
Pranayama is connecting with prana, the life energy. In this 45-minute session, ViGo guides you to discover the connection between the breath, prana and your inner state.
Guided meditation: 'I the State of That'
Discover what lies beyond the mind
As we explore the mind and its habitual patterns, we begin to discover the possibility of relating to our experience with greater clarity and equanimity. Meditation opens the space to observe our thoughts and reactions, understand and move beyond, to another state…”I the State of That”
What happens in Satsang?
Being with the Truth
Through the exploration of yogic wisdom, questions and reflection, Satsang offers an opportunity to understand the principles behind the practices and their relevance to life. In this interactive session, any questions can be brought regarding spirituality, life and Yoga.
Sanskrit Chanting with Sandhya
Experience the dimension of sound
Through traditional Sanskrit chants and the vibration of AUM, we explore sound to harmonise our entire state of being. Chanting offers many physical, energetic, mental and spiritual benefits. Click the link below to learn more.
