Yoga MasterMind 1

Beginning in April 2010
5th to the 30th

This experience is designed for those who are feeling the stiffness, ill-health and diminishing vitality that comes with age, most noticeable after age 54.

David has been putting this program together, and practicing its techniques over the last two years, basing it on his 40 years of experience with the re-vitalizing forces of Yoga.

Far from being created for a young acrobatic generation, this course has been thought out in consideration of those who could benefit greatly from yoga but shy away because of postures and positions impossible for them. Yoga has been used as a re-generating and anti-aging system for centuries without being acrobatic. In this program the methods of deep breathing which stimulate cell rejuvenation through increased Oxygen can be done sitting in a chair. The postures and movements required to enhance circulation of the oxygen to all needy body parts can be done by anyone who can still move enough to breathe, while simply progressing to more advanced movements one step at a time, one day at a time.

The program is individualized for each participant, and done in small groups.

Some basic physiology and anatomy is taught so as to develop understanding of the principles of metabolism in this context of re-vitalizing organs and glands; explained with pictures and slides without getting too meticulous or overly detailed about every body function. More important is the experience of feeling the process as youthful vitality returns to our body systems.

Techniques include:

• Hatha Yoga posture and movement synchronized with breath.
• Expansion of this into Hatha Yoga Dandhal for grounding and centering the mind into the here and now experience of body re-building.
• Moving flows for awakening the chakra energies.
• Pranayama techniques to rejuvenate specific glands and organs that are in need.
• Simplified exercises and modifications that can be applied to daily life.
• Tools for using the mind as a guide to healing and revitalizing.
• Relaxation with the Silence of Meditation.

Cost for the course is $1000 usd, plus food and accommodation, both of which are very economical in the Philippines as well as at the center in Thailand.

The program in April will be given on the island of Palawan beginning Monday April 5 and running til Friday the 30th, and thereafter on your own.

This program is inspired by David's present state of health:

"I feel the same now as I did at age 21 but with more physical abilities then I had at that time; I swim farther, bike longer, run easier and sleep less. My immune system works at peak efficiency without any medical crutches. This is the result of the application of yoga to my daily life over the years."
