THE MODALITY OF HATHA YOGA

Most modern yoga remains a dance of vanity, a departure from the traditional Hatha labour of structural rectification. We emphasize Sthira, the unshakeable steadiness of the frame over the common pursuit of flexibility. This method serves those who find no depth in transient 'flows' and require a practice as rigorous as it is remedial.

SKELETAL RECTIFICATION

The body is a series of levers and pulleys and when the spine is collapsed the spirit follows. We use the Asana as a tool to pry open the seized joints and re-align the skeletal blueprint and we don't 'stretch' muscles but reorganize the geometry of the body so it can support its own weight without pain. This method is for those who find no depth in trendy 'flows' and require a practice as rigorous as it is restorative.

THE INTERNAL FURNACE

We breathe for regulation by utilizing traditional ratios of breath-retention known as Kumbhaka to generate an internal heat that softens the armored tissues of the body. This is the traditional way to prepare the nervous system for the stress of modern life and ensure the unshakeable stability of the frame.

THE LABOUR OF STILLNESS

True change happens when the mind wants to move, but the body remains still. We hold postures long after the 'recreational' student would have quit. This is the forge. It is in the fire of sustained stillness that chronic injuries are burned away and the physical constitution is hardened.

THE HERITAGE OF DISCIPLINE

This discipline was forged in an era before the sacred was reduced to a vulgar trade. Here, the practice is not bought, but earned through the rigour of sweat and repetition. No quarter is given to frivolity, nor any path for the weak of will. The method remains as received: raw, demanding and absolute.
