Swami Anand Sidhamo – Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Intensive Certificate 8 day Training Retreat – Candidasa, Bali

• Date to be announcement

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is an extremely powerful, totally unique system of body therapy. It is the only comprehensive system of yoga-based assisted stretching. And by comprehensive I mean a complete system of assisted stretches to open and realign the entire body (as opposed to random or isolated stretching). It uses a unique system of synchronized breathing and stretching. The course includes all meditation, yoga and other components spread throughout the training as well as a given training manual. No prior experience in yoga or bodywork is needed. A healthy body and open mind are all that is required. Some courses go an extra day at no extra charge, so try to arrive and leave a day or two before the course if possible. I don't believe in rushing a training.

For more information about Anand Sidharno, his retreats and trainings, see

Cost: US $300 (does not include food or accommodation which will average $250 more)

Shadow Yoga a Lecture and Demonstration with Emma Balnaves & Shandor Remete
– at The Yoga Barn© – Ubud, Bali

Shadow Yoga
click to enlarge poster

• 19 January 6:00 pm

The ancient system of Hatha Yoga is one of the few disciplines that use the human body for the cultivation of consciousness with the aim of full enlightenment of the individual. Shadow yoga is a complete from of that discipline; the name is derived from the fourth chapter of the Shiva Svarodaya (The Light of the Life Breath of Lord Shiva) an ancient tantrik text that deals with the rhythmic manipulation of respiration. The fourth chapter is titled the Yoga of the shadow man and describes a technique through which the shadow of the human form can be accessed for the purpose of diagnosis. By reflecting on the shadow one is able to determine the health of the body and in case of severe illness, the time of death. The same procedure is referred to in the Shiva Samhita, another well-known and respected text on the practice of Hatha Yoga.

Because of the popularization of the yoga today many of the preparatory processes used to develop the basic principles of bodily action have been abandoned. These processed were always considered essential not only in yoga but also in the preparatory stages of other internal disciplines like tai chi, chi gong, martial arts and traditional dance. In all these disciplines knowledge of the natural movements of the body must first be gained in the student is to move on more advanced practices.

Shadow Yoga has been instrumental in the reintroduction of the basic preparatory processes that render the more difficult practices accessible without endangering the health of the practitioner. These processes have been arranged in what are termed the ‘prelude forms’. They constitute a coded discipline, an alphabet of positions and movements that carries the hidden seeds of the important asanas required to build the inner power system utilized in the practices of meditation. The prelude forms of Shadow Yoga draw on the guiding principles of Marmasthana (the Indian system of 108 vital junctions of the body) and each prelude consist of the combination of positions and rhythmical movements that results in an unobstructed movement of breath.

Natanaga Zhander (Shandor Remete) is the founder of Shadow Yoga, he has introduced to Yoga at the age of six. His research background also includes the study of martial arts, Ayurvedic and Siddha systems of medicine and the application of Varma Kalai (Marma Sthana). Shadow Yoga has courses and workshops in Europe, Russia, Asia, the United States and Australia.
