Rose
Baudin has studied and practiced yoga for 30 years and has taught
for 20. She met her mentor Swami Gauribala in Sri Lanka in 1971,
and was initiated into the lineage of the Tamil Siddhas in 1984.
During the 16 years she lived in India, she was instructed by master
teachers in the various schools of yoga: Integral, Iyengar, Vini,
& Astanga as well as extensive meditation experience under the
guidance of S.N. Goenka (Vipassana), Zen Master Hogen-san Yamahata,
(Soto sect), and Sayadaw U Janaka (Satipatthana Insight Meditation).
Since 1986, Rose has been based in Australia teaching yoga classes & weekend meditation retreats, as well as instructing and lecturing at Yoga Arts, an international school for teacher training. She has been conducting yoga intensives, residential retreats and seminars internationally for the past 11 years, including thrice yearly in French Polynesia. She has co-instructed retreats at Inner Harmony, Utah, with Dr. Robert Svoboda and Krishna Das. Rose has studied ayurveda with Dr. Svoboda since 1996 and Tantra with Sam Wickramasinghe of Sri Lanka since 1999. Her spiritual journey is described in YOGA: The Essence of Life by Alix Johnson, a collection of interviews with 8 western yoga teachers. Rose's teaching style is a natural integration of the above body of knowledge and experience, incorporating ayurvedic wisdom and weaving tantric practices into each class. Her sessions are challenging yet energizing, structured yet spontaneous, focused yet humorous. Strong emphasis is placed upon cultivation of concentration and awareness of breath. A WEEK IN UBUD, BALI : JOURNEYING TO THE INNER TEMPLE The light and ecstasy of the Inner Temple and the awareness of our Divine Origin, which naturally permeates one's being, is obscured by Kleshas (afflictive emotions), Karma (consequences of selfish actions), Conditioning (defining oneself by one's limitations), Koshes (subtle bodies) and Doshes (a fault or error, a thing which can go wrong in our constitutions). This week-long retreat will focus on elimination of debilitating toxins and enhance cultivation of "juiciness". While participants are flushing out unwanted waste through colonics, juices and massage, our yoga class will focus on purification of the five subtle bodies known as Koshas. Asana for elimination of physical impurities while promoting balance, rejuvenation, strength and confidence. Pranayama for removing obstructions in the nadis (subtle conduits) while promoting increased energy and mental clarity. Meditation for releasing mental ama (toxins) while expanding awareness, promoting well-being and joyful participation in all stages of life. Each day will include an exploration into our understanding of the kleshes, koshes, doshes, and karma through lectures, interactive discussion (optional) and, most important of all, humour! CLASS SCHEDULE: Saturday (Arrival) 7pm-8pm - Opening welcome circle - Recitation of the Shree Atharva Shirsha (Invoking Lord Ganesha) Sunday through Friday 6:30am - 9am Anapana Sati (Observation of Breath) 4:30pm - 6pm Sunday: Discussing the Doshas (determining your
ayurvedic constitution) 6pm-7pm Tattwa Shuddhi (Tantric meditation: Purification of the Five Elements) Saturday (departure) 6:30am - 9am Anapana On Thursday we shall observe noble silence, and, gods and weather permitting, we shall set aside our last night for Agni Hotra. Both practices are powerful teachers. SACRED FIRE CEREMONY - AGNI HOTRA |
