About

Hatha Yoga Shala

Hatha Yoga Shala offers specialized courses based on the teachings of Sundernath (Shandor Remete), founder of the ‘Shadow School of Hatha Yoga’ and Nṛtta Sādhanā.

Teaching began in 1998 in Vancouver, BC under the name ‘The Wandering Yogi Studio’. The name was changed to ‘Hatha Yoga Shala’ in 2010 with relocation to Montreal, QC.

In Spring 2004, after years of experimenting with various yoga styles, Sundernath (Shandor Remete) and Shadow Yoga were discovered. We present the first Shadow Yoga teachings in Canada since 2005.


Shadow Yoga

“The problem that beginners encounter today is the premature exposure to difficult asanas. The struggles that result excite their minds but blind them to the natural order of progression in the asanas. Failing to build a foundation, they fall short of their goal. Their impatience is born of ignorance of the simplicity of the system”.

Shadow yoga presents three dynamic fixed sequences, known as preludes, based on practical fundamentals of hatha yoga and the knowledge of Marmasthana (the 108 vital points of the body). Preludes developed as the necessary preparation required to lead a practitioner into unobstructed asana work and are used to stabilize the joints, free muscles from tension and synchronize breath. Sequences include prelude (preparation), asana-vinyasa (main component), and conclusion.

Shadow Yoga’s preludes have ultimately been designed to lead the practitioner to the practice of freestyle, a practice of improvisation based on inner guidance and appropriate response to the needs of the moment. Rather than operating from a conditioned reaction of likes and dislikes, the advanced student allows themselves to be moved with fluid spontaneity and grace.
