The Approach
Yoga is not homogeneous.
There are different approaches, styles and lineages, for example.
Loren Crawford Yoga weaves together the teachings of yoga, tantra and Ayurveda traditions to bring out your inherent power.
Yoga
You know yoga as a wonderful physical process that makes you feel great. But yoga is so much more.
Your personal unfoldment or spiritual awakening is available through the tools of the yoga tradition.
Through physical practice you discover the power of the breath.
Breath is the link to mastery of the mind and its roaming tendencies.
When the mind is calmed the plane of your Higher Self is achievable. You begin to understand your true purpose.
When aligned with your purpose - dharma - you experience a sense of freedom and joy.
Tantra
Tantra is about the energies of life - the awakened and yet-to-be awakened energies.
The subtle aspects of your being are governed by your life-force. The first step in tantra is to purify the body and strengthen it to build a strong container for life-force. The use of time-tested techniques adds energetic strength building your power and indomitable will.
Awakened life-force - or prana - connects you to the beauty of this life, to recognize it as a gift, and to finally see your true potential.
Tantra opens the unique treasure chest of life’s gems that rest within you.
Ayurveda
Considered the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda addresses your well-being by assessing and modifying diet and lifestyle choices.
You develop patterns of eating, daily activities and mind patterns that perpetuate imbalance. By healing and balancing these harmony is re-established. You reconnect to your wholeness.
Health and healing replace imbalance and dis-ease.
When your true nature is honoured there is more space for well-being.
Everything in life is a choice. Ayurveda is about making the right choices for you.
