"Yoga arose out of man's perception of nature and is a journey back to nature." - Danny Paradise

As an ancient shamanic practice, yoga is about creating personal empowerment, personal authority and total freedom with an understanding that nature is our spiritual teacher and guide... This retreat is suitable for all ages and levels of experience, from beginning students to advanced practitioners and teachers of all forms of yoga. The classes are taught on many levels and are considered to be Teacher Training sessions as well. Danny shares the wisdom of ancient traditions in a contemporary, compassionate, non-dogmatic and humorous way. His purpose is to help people to develop a sacred, safe, healing, expanding and joyful personal practice.

Danny Paradise has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1975 and teaching worldwide since 1979. He initially studied with the first Western teachers of Ashtanga, David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff, and subsequently with Sri Patabbhi Jois. Danny has also studied and practised with yoga teachers and spiritual guides from other lineages and disciplines, including kung fu, tai chi and karate. He has taught all levels of Ashtanga Yoga publicly worldwide for over twenty-six years. His students include yoga teachers, world-renowned artists, musicians, dancers, actors and sports champions.

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.

Join Dharma Kaur and Parmatma Kaur in Bali for a Kundalini Yoga Intensive Kundalini Yoga is a multi-sensory spiritual technology that combines physical, mental, and spiritual practices. When all these tools are combined we clear energy blockages in the body, increase blood circulation, sharpen the glandular and nervous systems, and reach clarity of consciousness quickly and effectively.

The gate to transcendental awareness opens when we clear our energy pathways and reach our inner passion. Come join us in February for a journey to the soul of consciousness, transcending time and space. We will explore various techniques to open up physical energy pathways using powerful sacred Kriyas and unique meditation to tap into the inner core each of us holds.
