Can anyone take this class?

Because of the progressive nature of learning in the Shadow Yoga system, Shadow Yoga II classes build upon what was learned in earlier classes. In order to provide a meaningful, successful experience for all students, Shadow Yoga II classes are reserved for those with some experience in Shadow Yoga I classes.

How will I know if I have the experience to take Shadow Yoga II classes?

Having a fundamental understanding of principles taught in Shadow Yoga I will create a more successful and enjoyable learning experience at the Shadow Yoga II level. The decision to transition to Shadow Yoga II classes is best made between teacher and student, to ensure that the student has the tools they need. All students at this level benefit from consistent attendance so that learning can be layered over time. Please contact Angie if you have questions about enrolling in Shadow Yoga II classes.

Shadow Yoga II

The Shadow Yoga II is designed for students who have been exposed to the principles of Shadow Yoga and would like to continue their study. Shadow Yoga II builds upon what was learned in Shadow Yoga I, linking sequences together to complete the Shadow Yoga Preludes. With this material in hand (mastery is not necessary), students have a good foundation upon which to build. Shadow Yoga II practices include specific arrangements of postures (asana angahara), information about the systems of marma and vayu, breathing techniques, meditative activities, and introductory prayers.

Who should take Shadow Yoga II classes?

Shadow Yoga II classes are the next stage of progression for those with some experience in Shadow Yoga I, or anyone who has worked with a Shadow Yoga teacher elsewhere. Familiarity with the introductory material (taught in Shadow Yoga I) uncovers new dimensions of awareness. While the physical practice deepens at this stage, the energetic systems such as marmasthana (energetic junctions) and vayu (energetic currents) are also introduced. As a result, students begin to understand the underlying systems that affect the organic structure.
