One Emil Wendel's main teachers was the late Professor Saraswati Prasad Ghimire. The affiliation with him and other pandits covered research in Buddhist and Hindu literature, philosophy and ritual, in their original context.

His pranayama technique and the instructions in kriyas are essentially following the tradition and methodology of the Bihar School of Yoga, amplified through the teachings and the tantric wisdom of his teacher and spiritual guide Clive Sheridan. Through years of contacts with sadhus and living Buddhist masters, as well as various ashram traditions, Emil has developed a special affinity and awareness for the yogic subjects of mantras and mudras, as well as the techniques of pratyahara (sense-withdrawal) and dharana (concentration), resulting in true dhyana (meditation).

He is a long-time practitioner in all these disciplines mentioned above. Asanas were developing along the way: his first teachers were Live Arts (Iyengar), Danny Paradise and Rolf Naujokat (Ashtanga), Clive Sheridan (Hatha-Kundalini), and Louisa Sear (Vinyasas).

He is presently conducting courses for teacher training programs of Yoga Arts in pranayama, guided meditation and yoga philosophy, the latter a series of lectures encompassing the known history, the different disciplines and traditions, and the personalities and masters of Yoga.

When not in Nepal or India practicing and researching, Emil is conducting workshops and retreats in Europe, as well as in Bali, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.

Emil Wendel
2006 Tokyo Workshop
“Pranayama and Beyond”

May 27-June 4, 2006
At YogaJaya Daikanyama/Ebisu Studio
Workshop space Limited. Confirmation by advanced booking only.

Emil Wendel was born in Switzerland and has been living in Asia since the mid-seventies, studying Sanskrit and Indian Dharma on the Subcontinent, as well as Chinese Philosophy and Taoism in East Asia.

Emil advocates and teaches Hatha-Kundalini Yoga, a method of merging asanas, pranayama and dhyana to develop and deepen a yoga practice beyond the mere physical experience.

The many years of residency in Nepal and India have allowed him an exceptional insight into the depth of Indian civilization and its underlying philosophical current. Apart from being fluent in some of the modern Asian languages, he has been involved with Sanskrit studies for more than 15 years.
All levels are welcome.
Please note: a fair degree of fitness is recommended for practicing the Yoga Asanas. While we develop our practice gradually and with care over the week,
Hatha-Kundalini remains a physically and mentally powerful yoga-exercise.
