Dearest Mountaineers,
Swami Maheshananda Saraswati, a visiting yoga scholar and monk from India, will be in the Boston area on the afternoon of Friday, April 2, 2010 in the HMC clubroom from 12pm-2:30pm. “Wandering Mahesh” is the first yoga teacher in the world to conduct a yoga workshop at Mount Everest Base Camp at 18,000 feet!
As you know acute mountain sickness, or hypoxia, is due to the decrease in available oxygen at the cellular level. Symptoms range from uncomfortable to extremely dangerous. Research shows that the science of yoga offers effective techniques for high altitude athletic performance adaptation at both the systemic and cellular level. (European Journal of Applied Physiology, March 2007, Bernardi et al).
Swami Mahesh will pull from his rich mountain travel experiences in India, Nepal and Tibet to share special techniques from asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra which play a vital role in rapid acclimatization and body-mind coordination. Additional focus will be on adjusting the body-mind to low oxygen levels, quick relaxation, preserving body heat for longer periods, effective control over cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive system, and minimum fluctuations in energy levels.
WHEN: Friday, April 2, 2010 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
WHERE: HMC clubroom (Claverly Hall)
COST: You determine the donation you would like to make. 100% of donations to support Swami Mahesh's 8-city USA tour.
Please help share this information with people you think may have interest!
ABOUT SWAMI MAHESHANANDA SARASWATI: Born in Raipur (India) he was initiated as a monk into the Dasnami Sannyasa Order after many years of training. He has a Bachelors of Engineering (Mechanical) and an M.A. in Yoga Philosophy from the renown Bihar Yoga Bharati (the first yoga university in the world), where he also taught at the post-graduate and undergraduate levels. Now, as a wandering yogi, he conducts yoga programs globally. Through his personal experiences, scientific training and temperament, he has the ability to present some of the most profound yogic concepts with clarity and openness, providing new perspectives that are both unique and refreshing. Those who attend his workshops appreciate and enjoy his remarkable ability to explain the essence of Yoga Philosophy in a lucid and down-to-earth style. His approach to Yoga and Tantra will be treasured by the participants in his workshops and is a welcome contribution to humanity.
