"There are many various methods, depending on individual experience, of the path to Samadhi, told by the great ones." (Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 4:63)

Vinyasa Krama is "wise progression", the intelligent linking or sequencing of postures that informs a complete practice. It also refers to a vital thread of the Yoga tradition: a practice should suit the needs of the individual. The Energetics of Sequencing - part of the core of the Parayoga Master Training program - is a comprehensive course that delves into the specific and broad range effects of the vast variety of Asanas and Pranayamas. We explore the physical, mental, and subtle benefits of these practices from the sublime wisdoms of Tantra, Yoga, and Ayurveda. The training is designed to inform and empower committed practitioners, as well as, teachers of all levels with the knowledge necessary to heighten the effects and benefits of their own or their student's Yoga. Rooted in the ancient wisdoms, Vinyasa Krama is the art and science of fulfilling your or your student's needs, culminating in the Yogic pathway to inner and outer prosperity.

The aim of this five-day practice and Teacher Training Intensive is to explore, through direct experience, the potential of practice and the reach of teaching. Designed to enrich dedicated practitioners, aspiring teachers, or those already teaching, the emphasis of the program is on the energetic principles of sequencing.

The training consists of two parts: open morning practices and afternoon theory sessions. Morning practices are open to all dedicated practitioners (*participation in the training is not required for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning sessions but will be subject to availability two weeks prior to the training) and include Asana, Pranayama, and meditation that highlight five distinct outcomes of a specifically focused practice.

For those doing the training (open to all interested students — teachers and non-teachers alike), afternoon sessions will deepen our exploration through additional practices, lectures, and Q & A sessions. The principles we cover can be applied to enlighten our own practice or that of our students'.

Subjects covered during the training include:

• The physical/bio-mechanic considerations of safe and affective sequencing
• The energetic effect of all major Asanas
• Orchestrating the arc of a class at the levels of mind, body, and energy
• Heightening the accessibility to more challenging poses
• The Asanas and Pranayama practices that support particular meditation techniques
• Practice and the Gunas (the three attributes of the natural world)
• Sequencing for your Ayurvedic type
• Practice and its affect on the three Essences
• Designing a practice to suit your life and aspirations
• The art of Efficiency and Effectiveness
