The Wakeful Body, Module 2: The Art of Vajra Vinyasa

While we might think of a mortal coil, great masters of the past have taught that the body is the temple, a profound source of yogic wisdom. As the Hevajra Tantra, says “Great wisdom lives in the body”. This wisdom does not arise from our ideas and opinions about the body. It arises from the power of the body to draw us into the present moment, the domain of wakefulness and ease.

Join Lama Willa for a six-week online course enlivened with Buddhist textual sources and guided practice. Together we will explore the wakeful body as a domain of pilgrimage through the physical, energetic and cognizant dimensions of experience.

This course, the second of three modules that will be offered in 2021 will explore the practice of Vajra Vinyasa yoga, a hybrid of Tibetan and Vinyasa yoga. Through this modality, we will explore how the body in motion can awaken us, and how the body is capable of bringing innate wisdom to fruition.
