Activate the 5 Dimensions of the Self and Awaken Your Heart to Deeper Love, Bliss & Wisdom
Experience the Power of Heart-centered Yogic Wisdom and Practice & Awaken Your Highest Potential Through Yoga’s Holistic Path for Body and Mind
Humankind has been to the peaks of the highest mountains, the depths of the oceans and into outer space…
Yet it’s still a great challenge for us to calm our minds and know the depths of our own hearts.
Both spiritual traditions and modern science recognize the power and importance of the human heart, yet it remains among the greatest of mysteries.
According to yogic wisdom and practice, the human heart holds the key to awakening greater, more expanded levels of energy, accessing our deeper soul wisdom and experiencing inner peace.
Yoga is often taught as mainly a physical practice in the West with the main importance on bodily postures, strength and flexibility. Like a branch is part of a tree, the physical aspect of yoga, or asana, is one branch of the great tree of yoga.
Though well over 5,000 years old, yoga has incredible relevance today. It’s practiced all around the world by people from all walks of life and is a major force in shaping the emerging consciousness on the planet.
The true, deeper yoga is a path for body, mind and soul. It transcends differences and speaks to the heart each of us. Yoga is the technology of awakening the heart, the space of pure consciousness within us, the space where all polarities dissolve and we experience our connection to source and the unity of all things.
The 5 Energy Layers of Your Being
Sacred yogic traditions have long worked with the 5 subtle energy layers orkoshas… and the heart as the center of being, wisdom and energy.
Your yoga practice can help bring awareness, expression and healing to these five layers of your being — giving you direct access your authentic Self, powers of intention (Sankalpa), more love and greater compassion.
World-renowned teacher Saul David Raye draws on the depth of the Yoga tradition, Bhakti, Tantra and universal light. Through his heart-centered, holistic teachings, you can awaken to the subtle energy layers of your being, navigate your soul’s journey more skillfully and engage in daily life with more ease and purpose.
He’ll share teachings that will affect how you experience yoga and give you tools and support to embrace your own authentic yoga and path. He’ll reveal the profound, universal wisdom at the heart of Yoga.
Annamaya kosha is your first layer and translated, means, “made of physical matter.” This first layer is your physical body, including bodily functions and all physical aspects of your being. When you are stuck in this layer, it’s easy to forget you are MORE than your body…
The Practice of Living From Your Heart
Saul’s teachings provide a framework for understanding what yoga is (and isn’t!) and how it works. “Vichara” is the Sanskrit word for inquiry and according to the ancient yogis, the act of doing yoga is the most profound form of self-inquiry… inquiry into the true nature of being.
