HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES
Pranayama
Pranayama is a method to transmute creative energy that relies on a combination of sexual chastity (restraint or containment of sexual energy), concentration, imagination, and breathing. The word pranayama comes from Sanskrit and is composed of:
- prana: life-principle; the breath of life; energy
- ayama: restraint or control
Prana (Sanskrit; Tibetan bindu) is the life-principle; the breath of life; energy. Prana is the vital breath, which sustains life in a physical body; the primal energy or force, of which other physical forces are manifestations.
Most of us breathe inefficiently. Life is often lived in the fast lane, and especially under stress we tend to use only the upper part of our lungs. We forget to breathe deep down into the stomach and thereby lose out on a lot of our energy.
By learning how to consciously shape our breath we can easily manage stress and tension, boost our immune system, feel more energy and vitality, find clarity and be more focused, sleep better and even feel a deeper connection to our Higher Self and our purpose.
Only when we become aware of our breathing and how to train on it, will we be able to realise the hidden potential. Our body will immediately absorb more oxygen and after a short time, we will have more energy and achieve greater mental calmness.
Kundalini Yoga
Yoga is like a massive tree with many branches and roots with endless outcomes and references. Based on the Tantra school of Yoga, Yoga of Kundalini with its unique components of Asanas, Kriyas, Breathwork pertaining to the vital life force, Meditation and Metaphysics, is one of the most sought after yet obscure subsystems of Yoga. It is a time defying, widely accepted scientific o-yogic process that, when practiced in its true and authentic form, can deliver astonishing results as it touches both the physical as well as the metaphysical spheres of our existence.
Kundalini is the primal energy, an enormous source of potential which is mostly underutilized. The 50-Hour Kundalini Master Course demystifies, through this series of carefully crafted content, the secrets of this system supporting the inspirational objective of optimizing the ultimate human potential.
We firmly believe that the knowledge of Yoga grows perpetually through sharing and through this constant conversation and exchange between the teacher and student, between the guru and the seeker. With that in mind, Eclipse strives hard to provide and uphold this time-tested methodology of bringing a true seeker to the right guru, orientation, and environment. And this is the underlying principle of our 100-Hour Pranayama (The art of conscious breathing) & Kundalini Yoga Master Course.
