What is Kemetic Yoga?

KEMETIC YOGA

Kemet is the original name for Egypt. Existing for at least 10,000 years Kemetic yoga is taken directly from the spiritual teachings and hieroglyphs depicted on the temple walls.  Yoga is the Sanskrit word for union. The Ancient Kemetians of Africa created a system of wellness that understood the symbiotic relationship of mind and body.  In Kemetic yoga, flexibility is secondary, the emphasis is primarily on breath control in conjunction with the movements.  It is a precise science that includes the systematic coordination of controlled breathing with geometric movements of the body.  This synthesis of movement and breath activates and moves life force through the energy channels of the body for the purpose of rejuvenating ones entire being, altering consciousness and cultivating inner-peace and stillness. 

The modern iteration of Kemetic Yoga was resurrected by Dr. Asar Hapi in conjunction with Master Teacher Yirser Ra Hotep;  founder and creator of the Yoga Skills Method www.yogaskills.com  Kemetic Yoga- Yoga Skills Method (YSM)is a continuation of that lineage, and maintains the integrity of the rule of Geometric Progression (geometric precision and alignment) of the body movements coupled with Four Square Breathing (Inhaling, Holding, and Exhaling for four counts).  Honoring the integrity of the relationship between the breath and movement is what holds the key to healing the body and creating vitality.  The science of Kemetic Yoga is precise and sophisticated in that it invites one to unlock the Science of Self.
