Being In Unity

The call
to go inwards

Validated by the I.Y.N -
The Independent Yoga Network and Embody

This Diploma is concerned with reviving a yogic discipline with an integral core of authenticity. The Yogic goal is to become conscious, to reach the oneness of being, bringing all parts of ourselves together to become in tune with existence. Unity Yoga has expanded from the study of Integral Yoga within a more fluid, contemporary context, with a fresh viewpoint inspired by many Yogis and Masters to date, including Osho’s approach to Meditation and Living. Sri Swami Satchidananda brought Integral Yoga to the West, himself a disciple of Swami Sivananda.Swami describes its essence -

“It is a flexible combination of specific methods designed to develop every aspect of the individual: physical, emotional, intellectual & spiritual. It is a scientific system which integrates the various branches of Yoga in order to bring about a complete & harmonious development of the individual.”

Unity Yoga focuses on Meditation and Pranayama as the central focus to our Yogic Practice. Living in the every day world with awareness, truth, trust, and celebration! We look at various styles of Yoga, including Sivananda, Scaravelli, Kundalini, and Donna Farhi; and move in a way inspired by Osho. Unity Yoga itself is practiced with fluidity, breath, oscillating dynamics and melting transitions. The underlying message of the course, is that each individual must create his/her own Yoga, one that is authentic of Ones True Self.

Yoga is centering, when we are rooted in the centre, our whole perspective changes. When we pass through the periphery of the heart, through the emotions to the centre-where our truth resides, then conflict eases and we are at one with the Unity of ourselves and our surroundings. Establishing a sense of spiritual centre by daily practice is encouraged to realise the potential of Yoga.

Integrating deep relaxation, hypnosis and visualisation (Yoga Nidra), breathing techniques (Pranayama), ‘Energy Seals’ (Bandhas), Energy Circuits (Mudras), Cleansing (Kriyas). Relaxation and Meditation with the Yoga postures (Asanas) allows a class experience to be balanced and complete.

The teaching syllabus emphasises an acute awareness of safety within a class set-up, and the benefits possible for all practitioners regardless of experience, age or health issues.

Sevanti’s teaching style is a healthy balance between invoking deep spiritual insight and down to earth humility through tangible and specific teaching methods.There is regular dance, ‘ Biodanza’ and various other moving meditations from Zen, Sufi, Western styles, plus bodywork, and personal development through co-listening & Body-Mind Balancing.

Emphasis is placed on the essence of Yoga as a lifestyle, a journey not a destination. A path to being more present, honest and more integrated – with ourselves, others and the world around us. It is also a path of celebration, a way of acceptance, surrender and inner peace.

A good teacher inspires by example.

This Yoga Diploma is open to all who have a passion to develop to their potential. To hear the call to go inwards, in meditation & bring the inner Buddha to the surface, to live in happiness & harmony in the world. Sevanti teaches the entire Diploma, in which she fuses her extensive experience of various Seated/Moving/Dancing Meditations.
