| The Yoga |
| |
According to your condition you will
start with easy meditative movements to balance your system
and align your physical structure. As you increase flexibility
and strength you will gradually move onto more complex postures
(asanas). As breath is the leading instrument in this type
of yoga, you will be protected from overstraining or hurting
yourself. Your breath will always tell you how far you can
go to do good for yourself.
Therapeutic effects of the postures are brought about
through the right use of breath when interlinked correctly
with the movement - the flow of Prana (vital energy), the
healing factor in yoga, is strongly connected to the breath.
It will give you improved well-being, clarity and calmness.
The ability to deeply relax and to sit quietly in meditation
goes naturally along with the practice. |

| The Teacher and
the Teaching tradition |
| |
| The course teacher Eliaz Caden (born 1954)
has been connected to yoga since 1979. He was trained in the
tradition of the Great Master T. Krishnamacharya*, first by
R. Sriram. For several years now he has been working with
the yoga master A. G. Mohan**. Eliaz Caden has also studied
other disciplines in the body/mind/spirit field (including
Lomi School Body-Mind-Work California, 1982 and Shiatsu with
Dr.Ming, 1980). Since 1976 he spent more than seven years in
India. He teaches private yoga classes, yoga therapy, conducts
workshops and teacher trainings in India, Europe and Hong
Kong.
*In the early years of his life, T.K. Krishnamacharya also
trained B. K. Iyengar and Pathabi Joyce as well as other
well known yoga teachers. His profound teaching has been
the most substantial and influencial to the modern world
of yoga. |

| Who goes? |
| |
The course is open for all beginners as
well as for those who have already yoga experience. Since
this style of yoga is very gentle and deep at the same time,
it may especially suit those individuals who previously have
taken first steps, feeling that perhaps yoga was not quite
for them.
The courses will give you a solid basis in the practice of
asana which you can take home to improve your health and the
quality of your daily life.
All two or four week course participants will receive a certificate
(completed level A or/and B).
The courses can also be used as a base for advanced courses
and to become a yoga instructor in this teaching tradition.
