Place: İstanbul
A 100-hour module designed to efficiently draw focus on ever-deepening layers of yoga practice and instruction.
Our immersion will pass through orbits of human anatomy, alignment, posture and flow, dive into processes of respiration styles, pranic waves and energy distribution. We’ll journey into the cavernous mind’s habits, assumptions, addictions and even hope to reach the epicenter of freedom. Tools and techniques will be shared from Yoga, Buddhism and Dylan’s life experiences. This should prove highly valuable to experts and experienced yoga practitioners of all rank and order.
Weekends will feature complexities of yoga practice demonstrated, deconstructed and digested. Work not only on yourself but learn to recognize patterning in others and be of service to all practitioners. Dylan will offer insights into subtleties of the Ashtanga method, both from the physical perspective and from the internal experience. Buddhist teachings, Taoist acceptance and other timeless yogic wisdom should vastly inform our tangible and approachable practice.
During the week, trainees will continue to practice and chronicle their observations. All are welcomed and encouraged to join Dylan in the Mysore room. Midweek informal meetings and ongoing journaling exercises will illuminate just how transformative our month is certain to be.
All yogic practices question of our definition of the true self. We will use the highest teachings of varying traditions to question and illuminate what is real.
Preparation for 100 Hours Immersion:
For all participants in the Deeper course, this material is to be reviewed and completed by September 20th. This will give you plenty of time to relax and settle your worldly responsibilities before we begin on October 7th.
To Prepare:
Practice Journal – Keep a written record of your practices for a minimum of two weeks. A full lunar month would be even better. Your practice journal should include asana, pranayama, meditation, prayer and any other related practices. On a daily basis, please note the types of practices, your feeling, obstacles, breakthroughs, thoughts, conditions and any other relevant information that arises naturally. Some days, your journal entry may be short, just a few sentences. Other days, your journal entries might fill a page or two. You may write in any language that you prefer. Please note that you are not being asked to practice more or more forcefully during these weeks. Just keep a record of how your normal practices feel.
