YOGIC ARTS | BUDO STANCE -
A Basic
Introduction to the Yogic Arts Stance Structure [Flow Foundation]
This is an exciting
introduction to the basic stance structure of a pure and powerful Yogic Arts
practice. In this enlightening and integrated body of work, we will explore how
the martial art and dance stances naturally blend with and compliment the
classical standing poses of traditional Vinyasa yoga. This practice will
culminate with the process of connecting the stances and poses to form the
beginning of a strong and empowered flowing Yogic Arts Practice. Participants
can expect to learn and relearn the new and familiar elements of this solid flow
routine. Beginners new to yoga and the seasoned healer-warrior alike are kindly
welcome to share in this experience.

Asana Anatomy +
Alignment Adjustments [Awaken the Power of Your Practice]
An introduction to the
Anatomical Points on the body that tend to hold blocked energy or tension, and
how to activate or release these points through Yogic Arts Thai Vinyasa dynamic
assists; with an emphasis on Paravritta Asanas or rotated poses. Duncan’s
masterful demonstrations and interactive adjustment applications of the
classical standing poses will be addressed in a repetitive format, to insure
muscle memory of this highly refined and informative body of work. An
interactive demonstration of the natural wisdom of a Yogic Arts Adjustment, with
an emphasis on Central Stance Power and ‘Body Locking’ will insure that all
participants will receive direct adjustments from Duncan, as well as learn to
practice in a naturally informed alignment conscious way, which sparks the
energy and power of the poses within the practice.

therapeutic technique of Thai Vinyasa Therapy; a ‘Thera-Flow’ approach to

element of having points of tension experienced as blocks in your body, released

individual master level body block assessments and adjustments for each
participant.

About Duncan Wong
Duncan Wong, born from an
artistic family in San Francisco, California, began his yogic path as a
teenager, seeking solace from his combative youth. His yogic roots are founded
in the Ashtanga Vinyasa lineage, which lead him to New York City where he
studied under Sri Sharon Gannon and Sri David Life of the Jivamukti Yoga Center,
and Sri Eddie Stern of the Patanjali Yoga Shala. His extensive time in Mysore,
India, with ashtanga vinyasa grand master Sri K. P. Jois, led to his
authorization to teach his system.
Ashtanga vinyasa yoga is the
yogic backbone of the Yogic Arts system.
Certified in the Jivamukti
Yoga method, after extensive training and international touring with co-creators
and spiritual parents, Sharon Gannon and David Life, who he attributes his
asana-goddess connection, and the philosophic base of his work, which also draws
deeply from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
Throughout his twenties,
Duncan experienced intensive training in competitive combat, under his life-long
sword mentor and primary life teacher, Kwahn Jang Nym, S.J. Su, of the Korean
Kuk Sool Won martial arts family line, where he received his black belt teaching
degrees and Buddhist influence. Duncan’s dual edged path found common ground
through his exploration into the Thai and Shiatsu massage therapies.
Yogic Arts was born from the
synthesis of this trinity of disciplines, which share roots that extend back to
prehistory. Combining intuitive touch, energy dynamics and alignment principles
with contemporary and traditional musical tracks, the practice is deepened and
enhanced by the Thai Vinyasa assists that Duncan offers throughout his work.
Duncan’s experience of
Kundalini Shakti-pat, or awakening of source energy, from his realized master,
Sri Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, is where he both derives and attributes his flow
of healing energy. His magnetic attraction to the celebrated leaders of global
popular and spiritual culture, reflect his natural style of excellence and
ability to support people manifesting greatness in their lives. He welcomes all
healer-warriors with basic athletic ability, an open heart and a light spirit.
Duncan Wong has the combined
practice and teaching experience of 30+ years, and is the creator of the
internationally recognized Yogic Arts system. When not expanding his global
Yogic Arts community, Duncan divides his time between his two studios in Tokyo
and Shanghai, Lotus8+Studio <www.lotus8.co.jp>
and Namaste Yoga Shala <www.namasteyoga.com.cn>;
the latter, an antiquated five-story Yoga and Pilates garden mansion adjacent
the oldest Tibetan Tantric temple in Shanghai, serves as the Yogic Arts
Intra-Asian headquarters.
