Class Description:
The physical practice of Budokon draws upon ancient and modern yogic martial arts styles to dance between agility, power, focus and flow in both the body and mind. Heavily influenced by lyengar and Ashtanga Yoga as well as Okinawan Karate-Do, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, and Olympic style Tae Kwon Do, the foundation of Budokon physical practice is precision, alignment and Zen mind.

Here is where he will be next, and please be on the lookout for his regularly scheduled classes in the Fall at 889 Yonge

Budokon is Back!

August 3, 2008

Location: Lululemon Athletica Scarborough Town Centre

We will be holding a Budokon class in our store on Sunday, August 3rd from 8:30am-9:30am, right before our regular Sunday, morning yoga class at 9:30am.

Come out and sweat it up before stretching it out in our Hatha/Flow yoga class.

What is Budokon?

The Budokon physical practice draws upon ancient and modern yogic and martial arts styles. The foundation of the Budokon physical practice is precision, alignment and Zen mind. All Budokon techniques are designed to explore the body’s full range of motion. The practice dances between agility, control, speed, power, balance and flow. The physical practice is divided into two themes: The Yogic Series, and the Budo Series. Both themes constantly draw from and depend on each other. The Budokon Yogic Series was heavily influenced by Iyengar and Ashtanga yogic techniques and alignment. The focus is on control, calm, power and precision. These techniques are uniquely different from traditional Hatha Yoga in the sense that they not only work to improve range of motion and strength, but they also explore the body’s ability to sustain another person’s body weight.
