Learn to Round: an Advanced Technique for YDM Meditators
I absolutely love teaching you the Rounding technique (asana, pranayama, meditation, yummy lie down)!
It is truly is one of my most favorite techniques to share with my students. It’s so gentle, healing and powerful. I will teach how to approach asana from a transcendental perspective to achieve full value of the practice. Learning this technique will deepen your meditation.
What is Rounding?
Rounding is a systematic procedure derived from the ancient Veda* that's designed to purify the mind and body at the deepest level. This process consists of a specific sequence of easy yoga poses (asanas), balancing breath technique (pranayama), meditation, and horizontal rest.
The simplicity and effortless nature of the technique produces powerful results. Performing the proper progression with the correct intention allows deep-rooted stresses to release and brings the nervous system back into balance.
Effortless purification of the mind and body through Rounding can bring you to a greater state of happiness, clarity and peace more quickly. Practicing multiple Rounds on this retreat weekend is equivalent to 4-6 months of meditation.
It's easy to learn Rounding regardless of your physical fitness. Custom modifications are available for those with physical limitations. You’ll learn how to incorporate this advanced practice into your daily life at home for continued benefit.
