The name Shadow Yoga is derived from ‘Yoga of the Shadow Man’ and deals with the intricate manifestations of the shadow and their significance both inside and outside the human organism.
The teaching is based on the following body positions and movements for the proper development of breath: standing, sitting, lying (face-down, face-up, on-sides), sideways (lateral), inversions, turning & twisting, pumping, weighing, forwards, backwards and spiral.
The twelve positions and movements have been adapted from martial arts, dance and the crafts of life... and from the plant and animal kingdoms. The appropriate combination of these activities, with suitable rhythm and positioning, brings about the unfolding of the inner powers hidden in the individual.
