Radikal Freedom Yoga as realisation

The Yoga of Radikal Freedom works on all the levels of our Holarchical Self:

We practice Yoga for the Body, Yoga of the Energy Body, Yoga of the Heart which works with feelings and emotions, Yoga for the Mind, and the Yoga of Radikal Freedom which takes us into realisation of inseparability. Naturally these elements are also not separate, but interweave in the fractal dance of reality.

Yoga for the Body, Somatic Yoga is called Integral Vinyasa Yoga. This works with:

• Dynamic and restorative physical practices.  These bio-mechanically intelligent practices work with synchronisation of breath, flowing movement and focus of mind, along with life-energy harnessing practices that allow rejuvenation whilst creating a moving and mindful meditation. Asana is a celebration of the inseparability of body as mind.
• The Keys to Synergy
• The Vinyasa Principle
• The Naga Dance
• Freedom Dance

• Breathing practices which assist in psycho-emotional integration and freedom.
• Sitting meditational practices working with internal feelings of flow
• Movement practices
• Vibrational practices
• Sound and vibration.  Our always-already existent unicity with the vibrational nature of the cosmos is thus more easily remembered.

• Emotional Yoga
• Bodywork
• Partner work
• Yoga of relationship

• Mind Training. Practices that cultivate witness consciousness and allow us to rest in our naturally perfect existence
• Mechanics of the self-construct
• The Holarchical Self
• Limiting Belief resolution
• The Four Fields
• Yogic Trancework
• Co-creation
• The Shadow Dance
• The Practice of Presence

The Yoga of Radikal Freedom is the art and science of love, wisdom, realisation and awakening. Christopher teaches these practices on retreats and at workshops.

The Yoga of Radikal Freedom cultivates intelligence of the body-mind and amplifies this into the conscious force of evolutionary Yoga.

The Yoga of Radikal Freedom directs the innate love and compassion developed through practice, into the world, as Engaged Yoga.

Radikal Freedom teaches intelligent, individualised practice based on the needs and strengths of the individual.

Radikal Freedom works with the best of Yogic practice and non-dual philosophy in conjunction with western physiology, psychology, neuro-science, physics, evolutionary biology and consciousness research.

Yoga is the experiential and lived recognition of the inseparability between the apparently separate elements of existence. This is love in action.

Yoga is both the method of practice and direct awareness. The Yoga of Radikal Freedom leads to both the systemic and integral awakening that is your true nature. Such awakening allows you truly celebrate life in its sublime non-dual beauty and be of service to the evolution of consciousness.

Influences and inspirations:

Paramahamsa Satyananda

Parmahamsa Satyananda of Rikhia in his sublime presence is a profound influence on the Yoga of Radikal Freedom. Paramahamsa-jis resonance and grace was the initial key to freedom for Christopher and his work.

Swami Pragyamurti-ji

As one of the most influential, powerful and loving influences on Christopher and the Yoga of Radikal Freedom. Swami Pragyamurti holds a place of great honour, devotion and respect.

Krishnamacharya, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and BNS Iyengar

The lineage through Krishnamacharya inspires the yoga of Radikal Freedom. It is with gratitude, devotion and deep appreciation that Christopher recognises their gifts of service, which he has had the grace to receive. Krishnamacharyas influence through his methods of practice and the blessings of Guruji, is a primary influence for Radikal Freedom.

Ngakpa Chang Rinpoche

As one of the clearest teachers around in communicating the essence of Dzogchen and Vajrayana, Rinpoche and his consort Khandro Dechen are honoured as hero and heroine of the path of indestructible truth and a profound influence on the work of the Yoga of Radikal Freedom. Rinpoche and Khandro Dechen have kindly  accepted Christopher as an apprentice on the path. May they live long and may their teachings flourish.

Ken Wilber

The wisdom offerings of Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute are deeply honoured as major influences on the Yoga of Radikal Freedom.

Osho

Osho’s process meditations and contemporary questioning of the nature of being human have been a rich mine of influence for looking afresh at what freedom means. The neo-tantra of Osho’s disciples has been a source of inspiration and inquiry.

Communion

From the oldest of times to contemporary urban culture humans have sought and found means to transcend our sense of separateness and touch the deepest essence of communion with all that is. The practices of communion celebrated all around the globe are also the roots of Radikal Freedom. Christopher’s initial upbringing was in a devotional Christian community where that great teachers words lived through his devotees hearts.

Further inspirations include the direct teachings of Tsoknyi Rinpoche, the Dalai Lama, Richard Freeman and Shiva Rea.

Ursula K Le Guin, Lewis Carroll, Alex Grey, Clare Graves, Nelson Mandela, Caroline Myss, Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyel, Bob Marley and a host of other beings each of whom have a place in the hall of beauty, love, power and freedom continue to influence Radikal Freedom wherever, however and under whatever name it is taught.

Part of the problem or the solution?

Unfortunately, as with many wonderful systems and traditions, people with lower levels of personal development can create an ego position about ‘their’ practice and beliefs and fall into the fundamentalist view of only one right way.

Prayers of kindness and devotion are offered for all those beings who find themselves caught in the world of rules and rigidly defined order, may we all find release and great freedom, may we all find ease in the order of chaos.

What is your choice? Part of the problem or part of the solution?

The yoga of Radikal Freedom is the evolutionary force of yoga, it is wisdom and love in action, it is creative engaged yoga. Yoga is all of us, it is the creative conscious awakening of humanity, the synergy of our times in which the inner divinity, the awakened buddha energy of each of us counts.

The yoga of Radikal Freedom is an invitation to find your place in the circle, the circle of synergy which is co-creating radikal freedom for all beings everywhere. Bring your talents, your gifts, your offerings and your love and share and drink deeply.
