Resilience, Power, Discrimination, Wisdom, and Longevity are all
highly desired
qualities in which the ageless science of Ayurveda thrives on
building in our lives.
The 3 Vital Essences of Prana (energy), Tejas (inner light), and
Ojas (primal vigour)
are a key factor in the attainment of optimal conditioning of our
being on all levels.
We commonly hear that ayurveda tells us what to eat, what natural
remedies to take
and what time to go to bed right! While that’s true and an
essential aspect of life,
there is far more to the teachings of Ayurveda than diet and
oils.
Ayurveda is the science of all aspects of life and yes that
includes our body, however
it also includes our subtle energetic system, our mind, and
ultimately deep soul
connection to the Inner Self and the world around us.
In this weekend intensive Brad will teach you a wealth of essential
models that will
help you understand the principles, science, and framework behind
the practices of
Ayurveda & Tantra Yoga. There will be daily Yoga Nidra,
Hatha Yoga practices &
lectures/discussions.
Highly acclaimed as one of Australia’s leading experts on the
integration of Ayurveda
and Traditional Tantra Yoga, Brad Hay is a formally trained
Ayurvedic Specialist and
Senior teacher in the Himalayan Masters Tradition.
Weekend is open to all levels.
Topics included:
Samkhya Philosophy – Cosmology & Science of the
Universe
The 5 Universal Elements and their Qualities
Your Body/Mind type (Doshas/Gunas)
What are the 3 Vital Essences of Ayurveda?
How to build and what diminishes the 3 Vital Essences

Testimonials:
Here is what some participants have shared about their experience with 'Essence of Asana':
“This has given us an understanding of a yoga practice and how it’s not all about 'striking a pose' or manoeuvring your body like a contortionist. We learned to develop a feeling of what our body needs and how to fulfil those needs.” - Rob & Amanda D
“I have found the grace and courage to be me, both on and off the mat, which has been such a gift.” - Leesa G“The subtle adjustments in my form has given me a significantly more enjoyable and pain-free yoga practice.” - Ellen M
