Windfire Yoga Retreat Teaching Method

Windfire Yoga Retreats use the Dynamic Yoga Training Method as an invitation to uncover the depths and subtleties of the human condition: whatever they may turn out to be. It is based on, and demonstrates,  the  premise that although it often does not feel like it, there is an inherent wholeness to life, and to being human. This wholeness expresses itself in the human body as a functional integrity:  whereby life sustains, expresses and extends itself. This is  discovered in yoga posture practice through action. This only happens if the activity of yoga posture practice is an investigation of the true needs, capabilities and nature of the body. It can not happen if yoga  is directed towards any cultural goal:  including flexibility, strength, fitness, health or enlightenment.

When actions are refined in response to the sensations they create, then the inherent integrity of the body is revealed and expressed. This allows the inherent unity of body, mind and spirit to spontaneously express itself. This delivers a deep, experiential, trust in the body and the life that guides and sustains it. This trust of life, in its wholeness  and in its details, is the invaluable possibility that dynamic yoga offers.

The Dynamic Yoga Training Method is based on the biomechanical principles of the human design. These principles are accessed progressively step by step (vinyasakrama) and expressed through sensitivity to physical sensations without any reference to esoteric belief systems. This generates a fuid, integrated practice based on the inherent intelligence of the bodimind that expresses itself continuously through sensation. Sensitivity to sensation is the basis of the method and the key to nourishing and integrating the bodimind. Dynamic Yoga is a style of practice that expresses the integrity of The Dynamic Yoga Training Method. Externally there is a dynamic continuity between postures linked by vinyasa. Internally the postures are fetilised by the dynamic of the bandhas in the whole body.
