Last week, 10 April through 12 April 2009, I organized and facilitated a 2 1/2 Day Surrender Yoga Workshop followed by a 2 1/2 Day Enlightenment Intensive Retreat. The purpose of the Surrender Yoga workshop was to practice and teach more about Surrender Yoga to those who already practice it and to introduce Surrender Yoga to those who want to learn about it.
The event opened with the communal creation of both a Mother Goddess alter and an alter to the elephant headed god, Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Following an invocation invoking the support of the divine realm and a Ceremony of Initiation, the practice and teaching of Surrender Yoga began.
The weekend training was a combination of Surrender Yoga practice, Tantric Communication Exercises, Yogic healing processes, lectures, discussion and group sharing.
I began the first lecture by showing a short video clip I created for the training entitled, Origins of Yoga, Part 1. In this video clip I propose that the origins of Yoga was inspired and originated by the creative power of the Feminine whose ecstatic impulse toward Union birthed all of creation.
In another lecture, I introduced several practical steps that one can use to enter into Surrender Yoga Meditation that are based upon Patanjali's 8 Steps of Yoga. He called those 8 Steps, Ashtanga Yoga and he wrote about them in the second chapter of the book, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Here is a video summary of that lecture.
