Pranayama, Meditation & Discussion
with Sudhir Tiwari
June 1, 2 & 3, 2018
*** Compatible with our 300-hour flexible Teacher Training ***
From pranayama to meditational techniques, what does it really take to experience yoga practices?
Yogic practices are not merely mechanical in nature, yes we do them using the body but the experiential aspect has always been the focus of yogic practices. In the three days we will explore this very principle from Patanjali’s point of view and apply it to our practice of pranayama and meditational techniques. Often Sutras 1-4 of chapter one are gone through in a hurry, but we will look at them in a way that is far more than intellectual gymnastics. We will practice classical pranayamic techniques from the Kaivalyadhama lineage. We will also practice “Pancha Maha Bhuta” (the great 5 elements and chakra based meditational techniques.)
This workshop will be in English with Gérald Disse translating into French.

About Sudhir Tiwari
Sudhir was brought up at Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute, in Lonavala, India amidst rich traditional yogic heritage, a tradition kept alive by his father and a well known Pranayama master,Shri O. P. Tiwari. Swami Digambarji, on his own accord, without any announcements and fanfare initiated Sudhir in 1981 by conducting a Yadnopavit ceremony (Thread Ceremony) and accepted him as a disciple. Sudhir received his primary and advanced Yogic and Ayurvedic training from Swami Digambarji which included the study of traditional texts, mantra yoga, fire ceremony, pranayama and various aspects of adhyatm (spiritual) yoga. Sudhir also learnt pranayama and Hathapradipika from his father.
Sudhir’s calling came in early 2012 when his father expressed his desire for him to become an instrument to further the message of Swami Kuvalyananda and Swami Digambarji’s by spreading in theory and practice the fundamentals of undiluted yoga. Very willingly Sudhir agreed, so now he travels all around the world conducting workshops in theory and practice of Yoga and Ayurveda and with his familiarity of alternative western medicine he also correlates these disciplines. His Mantra, Breathe Positive, Breathe Yoga.
Sudhir served the Health and Wellness Industry in the US, Canada and India at an executive level and received his advanced Teachers Training Certificate in Yoga from Kaivalyadhama Lonavala, India, Bachelors of Engineering from Bangalore University Bangalore, India and MBA form St. Josephs University, Philadelphia, USA. Sudhir now lives in Toronto Canada, with his wife and two children.
