Kashmir yoga

The practice

The heart of the practices lies in listening to what is here now, sensations, emotions, thoughts, melting into a wider listening, an echo of our vibrant and silent nature.

“If one moves the body very slowly, O Goddess! then, enjoying a well-pacified disposition of mind, one reaches the divine flow.”
Vijnâna Bhairava, stanza 83, translated by Lilian Silburn

The practices

Six paths of listening

Approached alone or interwoven, depending on the time we have and on what arises.

01

Exploring the breath

Prânâyâmas, evoking the spaciousness of the breath.

02

Listening to the body

Listening to the dense and subtle layers of the body through the Âsanas and more.

03

Meditation in movement

In the form of a dance, a union of the masculine and the feminine.

04

Sensory evocations

Evocations and visualisations drawn from the Vijnâna Bhairava and the Kaulajnananirnaya tantra, among others.

05

Meditation and introspection

Supported by the Dasha Mahavidya, the ten great wisdoms, facets of the Energy or Goddess (cycle and workshops for women).

06

Yoga of touch

Taught in a dedicated workshop, after three days of yoga practice and meditation in movement.

What the practice nurtures

Where the practice leads

  • Grounding, uprightness and the sensitivity of the body
  • Emotional fluidity
  • Refining the senses of perception
  • Seeing the veils over our original fullness
  • Feeling the body of vibration

Postures approached simply and through feeling, exploring the breath and meditation in movement are open to everyone, at any age, with no need to be particularly flexible.

For women

Exploring the many facets of the feminine

Some workshops are for women only, to reconnect with the gentleness and the power that live in us, and to dare to express ourselves, in the singularity and richness of our own languages.

Twice a year

A seminar devoted to the yoga of touch

Taught as a true meditative practice. Being fully available to the other, offering all the listening the body needs, with no intention of healing, without “doing”. Slowness, presence and delicacy: a whole art whose scales we learn together.
