Yasodhara Yoga Budapest

Yasodhara Ashram has a long-standing connection with Budapest thanks to the initiative of Frances Becker who first moved to the city to teach yoga during its time of great transition in 1993, and remained there, living and teaching for fifteen years.

Frances and other Yasodhara Yoga teachers continue to visit the city and offer classes, workshops and satsangs whenever these can be arranged.

We are most grateful to the Sivananda Centre, and especially its director, Omkara, for the warm welcome Yasodhara Yoga has also found there.

The centre has grown with the addition of a large new yoga room. Meanwhile many consistent students and teachers there have continued to flourish and grow in self understanding.

Hatha Yoga; The Hidden Language – Finding the Light in your asana practice – with Swami Sukhananda – Sunday 17 March 2024

Our bodies are a storehouse of our life, thoughts, memories, emotions, experiences. The traditional, ancient yoga asanas also hold stories full of symbolic meaning. When we enter these sacred poses in a quiet, reflective way we can allow our physical responses, emotions, and insights to arise, bringing insights and awareness.

In this workshop, you will be guided through the Hidden Language process which incorporates asanas, meditation, breath work, relaxation, writing and sharing your discoveries informally with others.

„Soha nem tudtak még olyan zenei hangszert létrehozni, amely ha megszólal, nagyobb erővel bírna, mint az emberi hang. Azzal, ahogyan a hangodat és a lélegzetedet használod, kiejtheted valakinek a nevét – egyetlen szót -, és annyiféle érzelmet fejezhetsz ki, ahány billentyű van a zongorán.” – Részlet Szvámí Rádhá „Itt az idő szentté válni!” c. könyvéből.
