Fanning the Fire is a two-day Gentle Yoga program  for men at Kripalu Center, Lenox, MA on the April 10 – 12, 2009 weekend.   You could liken Fanning the Fire to an intermediate Gentle Yoga class and it is intended for experienced beginners with some ease in flexibility and moderate strength.  The program includes steps into postures like Triangle, Rotated Triangle, Dancer, Eagle, Pigeon, Hero, Diamond, Camel, and Upward Boat. We will learn and experience the phenomenal kriya (cleansing practice) Agni Sera Dhauti (abdominal pumping) to complement our postures with internal cleansing and rejuvenation.  Practicing this kriya in the morning provides powerful detoxification perfect for the body’s springtime cleansing. Through masterfully taught abdominal pumping, Agni Sera Dhauti detoxifies, stimulates and massages all the abdominal organs including the organs of digestion, elimination, the heart, liver, kidneys and adrenal glands, creating an all-in-one stomach relaxation and rejuvenation package.  This practice also tones the abdominal muscles, exercises the diaphragm, stimulates the solar plexus and lungs, and increases overall energy. This vital stimulation also provides serenity to steady the mind at the beginning of each day.

Know that spaces in programs fill quickly and that housing is limited at the Kripalu facility.  Come stretch and strengthen this spring with Rudy on April 10-12 (a weekend) by calling Kripalu to register (1-866-200-5203).
