Patañjali’s Paradigm

The Road Map of Consciousness

Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtra Re-Ordered and Re-Considered for Western Students

Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Patañjali produced his great treatise:

The Yoga-Sūtra

This handbook of transpersonal psychology was written for the Indians of his time.

The sūtra method is very efficient, but can be confusing to 21^st Century Westerners.

Salvatore has taken Patañjali’s classic and reordered the sūtras in a roadmap format.

A roadmap helps you learn:

Deśaḥ/Place: Where are you now?

Antaḥ/Terminus (Destination): Where are you going?

Pantāḥ/Path (Route): How are you going to get there?

Jñānam/Knowledge: Important traveling information.

Salvatore will also introduce you to the underlying assumptions of the Vedic Civilization –

very different from our own!

If you have ever been intrigued by the Yoga-Sūtra, this is an unprecedented introduction.

Salvatore Zambito: rogue scholar, mystic, and world-traveling recluse.

Salvatore began his yoga adventure as a student in 1967.  He began teaching yoga-āsana in 1968 and yoga-dhyāna (meditation) in 1969.  The Yoga-Sutra came into his life in 1968 has been his organizing principle ever since.

He has established several yoga centers in the United States and has taught yoga and related subjects in universities, institutes, and ashrams around the world.

Salvatore is the founder of the Yoga-Sutras Institute and the author of two highly respected yoga reference books:

The Unadorned Thread of Yoga: the Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali in English and The Yoga-Sūtra Sanskrit-English Dictionary.

Friday 2 – Sunday 4^th November 2012
Dhyānāsana

Bridging: Hatha Yoga to Raja Yoga
This 'bridges' the asana aspect of yoga to the dhyana or meditation aspect.

We in the west struggle to sit comfortably due to years of poor postural habits.

On this weekend Salvatore will work through Dhyānāsana,
a specific āsana sequence designed to balance the physical structure
for easy sitting practice.

It is focussed on finishing the processes of bringing the body to true asana -
comfortable sitting position…

You will never sit the same again!

£260 pp incl accommodation and all meals.
(£240 if booked by 1 August 2012)

Arrival from 2pm Friday to settle in, meet Salvatore, and have a relaxed evening
over dinner and the fireside to chat and chill out.

................................................................................................................
Monday 5^th – Thursday 8^th November
Salvatore is offering 1-2-1 sessions in body work and yoga practice.
He brings a number of skill areas to personal one-on-one sessions.
He can address physical difficulties using deep, connective tissue therapies;
softer, neuro-muscular techniques that 'trick' the body into relaxation
or cranio-sacral facilitation. Salvatore can help free the body
for more complete asana practice, athletic performance,
or just greater comfort in day-to-day life.

If you wish to experience meditation,
he can help you find a meditation method that works for you.
If you are already a meditator, he can guide you to deeper practice.

Consultations are 1 ½ hours costing £60.
