WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Workshop 3: Wind
Ascending from the intellectual radiance of Fire, this workshop centres around the intuitive flow states and samskaric awareness of Anahata Chakra - the soul dimension and its capacity for direct knowing beyond heuristic processes.
ABHYASA, PRACTICE
Asana Progression
Stage 3 (Day 1): Foundation work with Surya Namaskar, Water, and Fire asanas, establishing continuity
Stage 4 (Days 2-4): Five progressive classes introducing Wind element asanas alongside Water and Fire sequences—working with Anahata activation, realising physical strength via the breath, and the embodiment of intuitive flow states: hand balances
Pranayama Development
-
Level 2: Re-establishing Water and Fire's foundation practices: Anapana Satti, Anuloma-Viloma, Sheetalee-Seetkaree, Kapalabhatti, and Kumbhakas with Bandhas
-
Level 3: Five progressive classes introducing Bhastrika (bellows breath) with internal and external retentions—cultivating the pranic intensity necessary for accessing intuitive states and soul-level awareness
Kriya Yoga
-
Level 2: Foundation class establishing the 8-step sequence
-
Level 3: Four classes expanding to 12 steps of Kriya Yoga—deepening transformative work on the energetic architecture to support the emergence of intuitive capacities and recalibrate the source of meaning and substance in experience to this intuition
Yoga Nidra
-
Level 2: Foundation class with body rotation and pattern randomization with sensory contrasts
-
Level 3: Two advanced classes working building up towards accessing deeper layers of consciousness where samskaric patterns and soul-level impressions begin to be accessed and transformed
VIDYA, THEORY
Raja Yoga: Chapter 2 - Sadhana Pada (Application)
Class 1: The Five Kleshas
-
The Prime Fallacies of the Soul (Sutras 2.3-2.9): the root distortions that constrain consciousness
-
Avidya: Localisation of self as cardinal fault—the fundamental ignorance of treating limited perspective as totality
-
Asmita, Raga, Dvesha: Lack of freedom in choosing persona, attraction and aversion patterns—the mechanistic nature of un-examined soul orientation
-
Abhinivesha: The root of all fear including physical death—the fear of non-being
-
Consequences of Kleshas (Sutras 2.12-2.16): How these fallacies perpetuate suffering and obstruct evolution
Class 2: The Ashtanga System and Powers
-
Liberation Through Eight Limbs (Sutras 2.28-2.33): The systematic path of Self-Willed Evolution
-
Powers That Accrue (Sutras 2.35-2.47): The manifestation of Yama, Niyama, and Asana in one's being—distinguishing true yoga from artifice and Hatha Karmas, understanding authentic integration versus performative practice
Wind Element in Personality and Psyche
Class 1: LPT 1 Wind Traits Understanding Anahata Chakra traits as the seat of intuitive knowing, flow states, and soul expression. Examining how intuitive capacities emerge from and transcend both identity (Water) and intellect (Fire)—the movement from linear knowing to direct apprehension.
Class 2: LPT trait analysis Detailed examination of Wind personality traits using LPT 1 , exploring the qualitative and dimensional expressions of intuitive consciousness.
Class 3–4: The FAR Matrix Working with the Fears, Attractions, and Repulsions framework specific to Wind Element consciousness across two classes. Understanding how intuitive orientation creates particular patterns of resonance and discord—the soul's navigation system and its vulnerabilities.
Wind Element in the 0-Point System
Class 1: Intuition, Soul, and Chronological Development
-
Intuition and Flow State: The mechanics of direct knowing and consciousness flow beyond analytical process
-
Soul and Samskaras: Understanding the soul as repository of deep impressions and karmic patterns
-
Gunas, Tattvas, and Vasanas: The relationship between prime qualities (sattva, rajas, tamas), elements, and psychological tendencies
-
The BanaLinga: The soul as floating identity without manifest form—consciousness unanchored to body structures
-
Chronological Development of Chakras: Understanding why some individuals never develop traits beyond Earth and Water, why many never open Wind element, and why Space remains inaccessible to most—the developmental prerequisites for soul awakening
Class 2: Therapeutic Application and Higher Koshas
-
Wind and Psychological Disorders: Understanding soul-level disturbances and their manifestation
-
OctaTherapy for Wind Element: Continuing our study of 0 point System’s therapeutic structure, the OctaTherapy sub-system. Brief on OctaTherapy’s Prognostics, Diagnostics and Therapeutic approaches to resolving Samskaric/ Deep Sensibilities of the Soul through the 8 therapeutic lines of OctaTherapyTherapeutic protocols.
-

Anna Basurto
EU Workshops Director for AryaMarga Yoga. Following her 5 month training at AMY, Anna has been a significant contributor within AMY's 0 Point System R&D. With her focus on Yoga Psychology and Kriya Yoga, Anna practices the evolution of spirit, body and mind with a perspective that is at once intuitive and radiantly light in being.
Helena
Helena is an Hatha Yoga teacher who completed Arya Marga training in India in 2022. Her journey into yoga began with a deep longing for both physical and mental flexibility - a wish to feel more at home in her body and calmer in the mind. Through the practice, she discovered a connection to something greater than herself, a sense of trust and inner spaciousness that continues to guide her today. These experiences shape the way she teaches- with warmth, authenticity, and respect for each individual paths.
Liam FitzGerald
Liam grew up on a small Caribbean island before moving to the UK. He perceived mostly suffering on arrival so he renounced life to chase the most uplifting and rewarding experiences he could imagine. He soon realised everything he was seeking was within. Eventually, Yoga helped him to navigate the challenges of being human. It has since flowered into a practice that supports and nourishes every aspect of his life and being.
