In this workshop we will be introducing contemporary techniques that have their roots in ancient traditions. When these techniques are applied they have the power to transform your life and bring you to a deeper connection with your true essence. Then you are able to clarify your goals, remove your obstacles and begin to create the life that is in harmony with your soul purpose.

Mantra
Here we learn the chanting of the Sacred Names of God/dess. Every religion has Divine Names that express longing and devotion to the Divine. We will explore different types of chanting to calm the mind, open the heart and heal ourselves on the deepest levels. Sacred Sound can bring one in direct contact with the Holy of Holies. When done daily, this practice has the power of changing the DNA to positive re-patterning.

The Power of Invocation
Invocation is a formula of the calling of the Divine in his/her different manifestations. We will learn the spiritual laws of invocation and will be introduced to different manifestations of the Divine that can change one’s life circumstances. Invocation can be very useful when you find yourself stuck and need your circumstances to change in the right direction. We use different names of the Divine from many different religious traditions.

Hands-On-Healing
We share with the group the power of Hands-on-Healing, mantra and invocations. With this combination life can truly be rearranged into circumstances that bring you to a deepened spiritual experience and fulfillment. Those of you who have experiences in Reki can bring your practice to the next level.

Andreas Mamet has been on the spiritual journey since 1973 and was initially trained in Hatha Yoga, Mantra and Kriya Meditation. In 1975 he went to the Himalayas in India for six months. There he received further training from yogis in caves and ashrams at the Ganges and the Tibetan border. In 1976 he returned to India. For the next 5 years he continued to deepen his practice there. In 1981 he toured Japan, the USA and Germany where he began to give his SHAKTI workshops that were aimed at sharing with participants what he calls “the opening of the inner space.” He lived in Mount Shasta, CA, for 18 years. He met his wife Raylene in 1996 and now teaches with her in Europe, Japan and the U.S.A.

Raylene Abbott’s spiritual training has spanned over the last 30 years and she received initiations by both Western and Eastern traditional teachers. She has formed the essence of this training into teachings relevant for our contemporary world. These teachings recognize the need for balancing the masculine and feminine at this point in history. She is an international author. Her book In Between the Visions, available on www.amazon.com, has been also published in France as L’Emergence de la Femme Divine (The Emergence of the Divine Woman). This same book is now also published in Italy and Japan. Raylene has been traveling and teaching with her husband Andreas Mamet over the last three years in Europe and Japan.

‘The ashtanga yoga practice is a breathing practice ... the rest is just bending’ - Guruji.

The breath can not be over-emphazised in asana practice. The breath is the door between our body and our mind, the portal between meditation and asana practice and often the first step on the way to a more spiritual, soulful and happy lifestyle. The breath is the key to the realm of tranquility, the sensation of calm and the control of our nervous system. It is at the very heart of yoga.

‘When you control the breath you control the mind - when you control the mind you control the body’ - lino miele.

In this 4-week course we will focus on breathing geared for the ashtanga practice. You will learn correct breathing technique for a succesfull and painfree practice, simple pranayama for relaxation and vigor and in-depth guidance to localizing your bandhas. To complete your understanding we will apply it to movement and asana. all levels welcome.

‘Incorrect breathing - pain coming’ - guruji

Paul Dallaghan is one of three senior dedicated student of Sri O.P.Tiwari, one of the few remaining classical yogis and master of pranayama. He has practiced pranayama for many years under Tiwariji’s direct guidance which has led to deep insight and understanding of practice. Paul is also certified by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in ashtanga vinyasa, one of only a few in the world. He uses this as a base for intelligence in asana to be applied appropriately for the student. Paul continues with his regular routine of asana, pranayama and meditation on a daily basis and through love of the subject matter keeps up a keen study of the classical texts and scientific interpretations of what goes on in yoga.

Paul grew up in Dublin, Ireland, where humour and quick wits were a must for survival. After completing his degree at Trinity College he was bound for New York where his life in yoga began. Since 2001 he has been in Asia between Thailand and India with a primary focus on practice and study. With his wife, Jutima, they opened Yoga Thailand and continue to enjoy living there.
