The Taoist yoga and breath meditation practice of SunDo offers a direct path to greater well-being — a journey that leads to more vivid, relaxed, and meaningful experiences in our lives. It is a personal development discipline you can really use.
SunDo treats spiritual and personal growth as a holistic practice designed to transform your life from all angles. The earliest SunDo practitioners understood that complete wellness or health does not come from a strict focus on the mind or body alone, but a yoking together of the mind, body, and spirit. 3 parts of sundoPOSTURES
The SunDo practice is comprised of three sets of postures, developed to enhance the health of the body and ultimately improve breathing technique. Each set of postures has different corresponding breath work (described below). As postures become more challenging, this requires you to breathe more slowly and deeply. Our postures can be modified for any fitness level! MEDITATION The goal of this Taoist meditation is to calm and focus the mind. Unlike blank-minded meditation practices which allow your mind to wander, during SunDo we listen to a repetitive mantra. The mantra or chant will occupy your mind, help you synchronize your breathing, and fall into a deep meditation. BREATH WORK Breathing is involuntary. It's something we barely give any thought. But in SunDo, meditative breath work improves physical, mental, and emotional health. Breath is also used as a way to acquire Qi, or vital life energy. It becomes slower, deeper and more refined with each subsequent practice level, and the self-knowledge we acquire from each session then filters into all aspects of wellbeing. Many of us know the numerous benefits that come from living a healthy and active lifestyle — we go to the gym regularly, spend time outdoors, and watch what we’re eating, but most of us in the West continue to overlook the importance of “breathing well.” Honing conscious, controlled breathing develops an inner wisdom that teaches us how to more intimately know our bodies and mental states. SunDo is for people interested in a new kind of health beyond just the physical— those who want to practice focused meditation and breathing that transforms the body but also strengthens the energy of the mind and heart center. Join us for a nourishing and healing practice of SunDo postures, meditation, and focused breathing that will mark the beginning of life’s most incredible journey for you — that of awareness, self-discovery, and self-mastery. Take your first step to wholeness with a practice that changes everything! Register today. |
