Six phases. One road.
Each phase opens what the next one needs. You do not sit for meditation in a body that cannot yet sit, and you do not lead others before you have steadied yourself.
The subtle and gross body movements as envisioned by Dhirendra Brahmachari, kept in their original form. A body that has run on opium for decades cannot be asked for an āsana on day one. Joint by joint, the body is made available again.
taught in the campBreathing practices developed and researched at SVYASA, alongside the six classical cleansing kriyās. This is where the measured lung improvement begins, and where the body is cleared enough for everything that follows.
taught in the campNot a list of postures but nine groups, each arranged as a continuous flow. Each flow is ordered around what a body in withdrawal can actually sustain and what it needs to recover.

on this site now · one practice, for now →Addiction is attention captured. Concentration is attention taken back, deliberately, a minute at a time. Meditation is then sitting with what the substance was covering. It is the hardest phase, and the one that decides whether any of it lasts.
taught in the campThe phase the other five exist to make possible. The trainee turns around and begins to guide the men who arrived after him. This is not a ceremony added at the end. It is the aim of the module, and the moment a person becomes Jyotirgana.
taught in the campTwo phases are on this site in full and free. The others are written and taught at the camp, and will be added here in the same form, with their own educative sessions. Nothing is hidden behind a payment.
