Learn how to bring the 12 pranas and the 72,000-pranic channels together into a pranic field of mind and experience the deepest rest, rejuvenation and healing.

Day 1 - Mudra Vigyan- Introduction to hand mudras

Mudras have been kept as a sacred secret for ages. It is time to explore subtle ways of healing and integrating all possible tools we can to clear pranic pathways, trigger the innate intelligence and allow one to be established in Self. Mudra therapy is primarily rooted in sankhya darshana and marma.

Day 2 - Rasa Sadhana - Yoga of Nine Emotions

Rasa is a kind of energy that is partly physical and partly mental. The practice of emotional cleansing is called Rasa Sadhana. It offers us an alternative healing path and can be combined with any lineage, culture or tradition. We as human beings experience eight emotions, which are four pairs of opposites, and the way to transcend this duality is to merge into the ninth emotion called shanti or peace on a constant and consistent basis.

Explore the nine emotions of peace, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, love, joy, wonder and courage and how to purify the emotions using Yogic practices.

• What are the ninr emotions
• What is Rasa Sadhana
• Nine Emotions, five elements and six tastes
• How to combine Rasa Sadhana through asana, pranayama and mantra chanting

Day 3 - Shavasana- The Vast Ocean of rest

Ayurveda says that there are three pillars of health, diet, moderation in sensual pleasures and sleep (as deep rest). In the present times, when there are abundant stimuli, shav-asana is the practice of pratyahara (sensory re-direction), a practice to retain the ojas, and to re-direct the energy within. It is a precise, conscious and step-by-step approach in-order to prepare the body and mind for higher states of awareness.
