I’ve run this course for years, and many people like to repeat it every January. It’s quite profound as a touchstone. I personally believe it helps me to understand time, what has happened in a year, and myself in time. However, the thing is several years old and there are many things I would do or say differently; I don’t really want to offer this to the public any longer. Since lots of folks request it, however, I will make it all available here.
Those of you who have done it before know: it really gets its jazz from the partner work. If you would like a partner, let me know.
Week One: Say the Good Words
Like every other major teaching of Yoga, Ayurveda starts with relationships. Relationships, acting on beauty and opportunity, change our nervous system deeply. If you change your nervous system, your digestion, sleep, and stress levels change. Start, here.
Week Two: spirit and mammal bodies
eat like a human (midday)
Week three: evening and rest
Week four: morning
week five: yoga language
week six: āsana
What if āsana were freed from expectations, became prayer rather than ‘exercise’?
week seven: depth ecology
week eight abyhyanga
week nine mediation
week ten sense organs
week eleven: last week: touching grace and moving on
