Andrey Dergachev

Universal Theory of Yoga Level 2 features the next installment of 24 hours of lectures on 6 DVDs. Once again, these are the complete lectures from Andrey's Advanced Studies program. The Level 2 box-set features an in-depth exploration of Andrey's universal system of sequencing, which is one of Andrey's most innovative and remarkable contributions to the evolution of hatha yoga. Andrey focuses on how to use the elements of hatha yoga practice—asanas, vinyasas, pranayamas, bandhas, mudras, etc.—to create powerful and effective practice sequences to achieve any goal in yoga. The box set includes 16-page, full-color Reference Guide that offers some of the more intricate diagrams from the lectures in printed form for ease of use and review.

Universal Yoga is a systematic approach to spiritual evolution based on the key principles of classical yoga, creativity in practice and personal freedom. Andrey Lappa developed the Universal Yoga system after two decades of intensive study and practice with spiritual teachers throughout Asia. His theory lectures offer insightful and comprehensive knowledge and skills for harmonizing spiritual awakening through yoga with everyday life. We've captured and packaged the entire lecture portion of Andrey's Level 1 Teacher Training and made it available on a multi-DVD set. Over 24 hours of edited material guides you through a truly unique workshop experience that presents Andrey's brilliant synthesis of hatha yoga as well as his provocative insights into the more esoteric yogic practices. This fascinating series of lectures on yoga philosophy is as much a training on being a yogi as it is a workshop on how to teach yoga.
