Orion has been teaching yoga in Thailand since 2005. Our Orion Flow Ashtanga Vinyasa training incorporates all the amazing aspects that Orion Healing Centre has to offer, to create a training that incorporates yoga, wellness & nutrition and a holistic understanding of the body. This training embraces all aspects of traditional yoga and gives students the tools necessary to deepen their practice and share their love of yoga with others. The training is influenced by the Ashtanga system and incorporates an approach that allows the individual to find his or her own practice, through deep connection with oneself, respect and compassion. We also incorporate a yin (restorative) class into the schedule to bring balance to the asana aspect of the training, and the moon salutation, a more restorative practice. Leading on from the concept of Ahimsa, we teach the benefits of a plant-based diet, incorporating into the course a Raw Food cooking class, where students will learn dishes that support this concept. Ahimsa, or non-injury, means entire abstinence from causing any pain or harm whatsoever to any living creature, either by thought, word, or deed. Non-injury requires a harmless mind, mouth, and hand. Ahimsa is positive, cosmic love. “The subtle energy of your food becomes your mind.” — David Wolfe
