BEYOND ASANA

with Jim Bennitt
Come experience a COMPLETE Yoga practice. Jim will weave together the Tantric tools of asana (including mindful vinyasa), pranayama (breathing techniques), bandha (energy locks) and mudra (a combination of the first three "tools") in an intelligently sequenced practice which will leave you feeling calm yet alert. Class will begin with a brief discussion of an ancient Tantric text which will give us guidance for a complete practice. All levels welcome.

Saturday afternoon:1-4pm
TANTRIC ALCHEMY

"Through the right blending, we can make ourselves bigger than the sum of our parts".(Yogarupa) In this unique class we will use asana (including mindful vinyasa), pranayama (breathing techniques), and bandha (energy locks) to change matter into energy and then energy into consciousness. You will leave class feeling a different person; physically, energetically and mentally. Open to all levels.


More about Jim Bennitt


Jim began his studies in Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda in 1997. He was experiencing hip pain and decided to see a friend who was a physical therapist. The therapist told him that tight hamstrings were the cause of his hip pain and Jim decided to take an introductory yoga course. Not only did this solve the hamstring trouble but he learned that Yoga was concerned with much more than the physical.

For the next three years, Jim bounced around from one yoga studio to the next, until he met Paul Weitz, a teacher at Moksha Yoga Center in Chicago. Two classes a week turned into five classes a week as well as weekend workshops with top teachers from across the U.S. who stopped in at Moksha.

Jim then completed Moksha's teacher training with Daren Friesen, traveled to Ukraine for a two-month intensive training with master teacher Andrey Lappa and assisted Gabriel Halpern in his therapeutic classes at The Yoga Circle.
n 2002, Jim met his teacher, Rod Stryker. Rod was in Chicago to conduct a 21-day intensive training. Rod's teaching included everything Jim feels Yoga to be: asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, kriya, mantra, meditation and elements of Ayurveda. He attended the morning practices and met with Rod one-on-one.

Since then, he completed and now assists in several teacher trainings in Rod's Pure Yoga lineage. Jim is also a popular presenter at conferences, workshops and retreats in the U.S. and abroad.
