Yogis and Shamans: October 16 -17, 2010

Setting the stage for our training we will explore the similarities and difference between Yoga and Shamanism. We will study the chakra system, learn how they are connected to the endocrine and nervous system, and how to clear and balance the energy body. We will clarify Sanskrit words such as chakra, samskara, nadi, shakti, karma, and prana.

We will explore three profound shamanic journeys. We will benefit from their healing and empowering process, as well as learn how to lead others through them. We will experience deep Savasana (the corpse pose) coming to understand this posture as a portal to the underworld (the subconscious mind).
