Virabhadra, an aspect of Siva
December 3, 2011 1-4 p.m., Hatha Yoga Shala East Bay, 2050 4th st. Berkeley, CA
Seed Stories: Mythic Origins of Posture Practice
Lord Siva cast a lock of his own hair to the ground and up sprang Virabhadra, an invincible deity general to vindicate the terrible wrong done to Siva. What is the essence embodied and expressed through the warrior postures? In our own practice can we use this essence to foster unshakeable roots, graceful expression and a watchful, still mind?
The myth of Virabhadra animates the Warrior postures of Ha-tha yoga. This three-hour workshop, led James Ryder and Sean Feit, will tap into the stream of a few such vibrant stories to experience their qualities and iconic inspiration. In a weave of stories, music, images and invigorating yet accessible asana sequences, we will ask what these mythical tales offer us today. All are welcome.
