Christopher Tompkins's video: The Ancient Roots of Surya Namask ra Viny sa and Movement Meditation in Indian Yoga

Session I: The Roots of Surya Namaskāra and Āsana Vinyāsa covered up by the Haṭha Pradīpikā http://shaivayoga.com/ct/1658-2/yogavidhi-session-1/ World Premier Thursday, August 25th * 6 pm PST, 9 pm EST * accessible via Computer, I-phone and other mobile devices * Immediately available for download at the end of class ~ length: approximately 2 Hours. In this first session, I show how the Hathapradipika (1.61), wrongly assumed to be the ‘Bible on Hatha Yoga,’ distorted a single stock Tantric verse in order to eliminate Postural Yoga and Sūrya Namaskāra practice from Haṭha Yoga. We will explore the original verse, appearing in Tantras dating to before the 12th century, and learn how it opens a doorway to the incredible richness of hundreds of Vinyasa-based Yoga practices in the source Tantras, since obscured by a lack of focus in scholarship on the true source of our modern Yogic heritage. Session I is only $25.00 (approx 2 hours). Sign up Now! Thursday, August 25th, 6pm PST, 9 pm EST.
