Why is it called Asana Sadhana Dharma?

We have three main intentions for this training: Asana, Sadhana & Dharma

Asana
In the modern world Yoga & Asana are synonymous. We wish to unpack the power of asana practice through the lens of both tantric energetic management & modern functional movement. The intention is to understand the historical context of asana practice & how we can begin the process of integrating traditional Hatha Yoga with modern functional movement patterns. We will take the time to truely unpack human anatomy (physical & energetic); to understand how we can optimise asana to fit our unique physical bodies & energetic needs.

Sadhana
This is a the cultivation of a spiritual practice, a daily dedication to call divinity & our highest potential in life. Less so does this word point toward any specific methodology, but more so the intention through which our daily actions & practices are done. Ultimately, we aim to use the tools provided through hatha yoga to call in the joyous state of mind that is traditionally known as Yoga. Our enquiry will be into which practices are appropriate to our individual life circumstance, age, cultural background, capacity to practice, etc. alongside that of our students & community.

Dharma
As humanity advances the need for life purpose is becoming increasingly apparent. No longer are we willing to accept a lifestyle that serves someone else’s purpose. The Yoga tradition teaches that life purpose brings fulfilment, and misalignment with this purpose is the cause of disease and suffering. We call this life purpose Dharma, in a broader sense this entails a natural & effortless flow in life. A life that is lived in alignment with nature & its cycles. This is an enquiry into Jnana Yoga, in order to gain clarity around our own authentic offering & lifestyle.

Aaron Petty

Hi, I’m Aaron Petty, the head teacher & co-founder of Om Som Yoga & Ayurveda.

I have accumulated over 1000 hours training across multiple fields of study and am registered with Yoga alliance at E-RYT500 & YACEP Levels.

My mission is to create a heart centred & well informed community of authentic Yoga practitioners/teachers in Melbourne; providing this community with an accessible, adaptable practice that meets their current circumstances & moves them toward their most authentic, healthful, resilient & vibrant self.

Throughout my life, Movement, Breath & Meditation have been a catalyst for change. Dedicated & consistent Yoga practice took me from an uninspired, depressed, anxious, overweight & injured tradesman to a happy, thriving, purpose driven business owner & lover of life.

I have been Meditating for 12 years now, and truely dedicated myself to the path of Yoga 6 years ago.
There’s been a huge amount of time spent studying with many of the worlds most influential & knowledgeable Yoga teachers. This includes study in modern movement, breathwork & meditation practice, functional anatomy, myofascial release, yin & restorative yoga, vedic counseling, vedanta, ayurveda, traditional hatha yoga, tantra & meditation.

Basically, I’ve put in the time to deeply understand the many possible approaches to Yoga, so that I can determine which practices actually work & share them with my community in the most accessible & relatable way possible.

Our modern lives are filled with so much stimulation, stress & discontent - its time we bring back true nourishment, purpose & human connection.

What is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha Yoga is the ancient Yogic system of awakening to our fullest potential & life’s purpose. The Ancient Indian Science of Self-Realization, that allows us to integrate all aspects of our being & move toward greatness in every aspect of life. Originally Hatha Yoga was created for renunciates, but not everyone wanted to live in a cave. From this predicament Tantra arose.
A spiritual practice for everyday people.

In essence Hatha Yoga can be broken down as such;
Ha = Solar/Prana energy
Tha = Lunar/Apana energy
Yoga = Union

By definition it is a practice of unified embrace. A practice of relationship & context for all relationships. Union of the opposing energies within the individual. It is the heart's practice that lights the path to equanimous & harmonious living. Our unique, intimate embrace of life itself.

Our intention is to provide an understanding of Yoga through felt experience, not just intellect alone.
When we begin to embody our Yoga practice, we can share our experience with other’s in an authentic way & ultimately be of the highest service to our community.

This course offers a chance to begin to see our actions & lives from a macro perspective.

What impact are you having on the world around you?

This comprehensive training is for Yoga students & teachers who are ready to dive deep into both contemporary & traditional hatha yoga practices in an adaptive way. We will journey beyond the scope of a regular 60 minute yoga class, inspecting the inner workings of asana practice along with subtle practices like pranayama, meditation, kriya, bandha, mantra, history & more. Leaning into the tradition of Yoga & its many adaptations over the past 5000 years allows us to determine which form of Yoga is suitable for our current circumstances & life situation.

Hatha Yoga is unique in the way that it recommends practice be tailored to the individual; however in the modern world a one size fits all approach to Yoga is common place. Throughout this 100 hour training we will unpack the Yoga system & apply it to awakening our highest potential as modern humans. What makes this training unique is the integration of timeless tantric teachings; energetics, lifestyle, personal practice & purpose. You will leave with a powerful new lens to view, practice & share Hatha Yoga

Salutations to the primeval Being (Lord Siva) who is the instructor of the Hathayoga Vidya (to Parvati),
