About
Hatha Yoga Shala, located in Montreal and Wentworth, Quebec, offers specialized courses based on the teachings of Sundernath (Shandor Remete), founder of the Shadow School of Hatha Yoga and Ntta Sdhan. Since its establishment in 2000 as The Wandering Yogi Studio in Vancouver, BC, and its subsequent transition to Hatha Yoga Shala in 2010, the studio has been dedicated to presenting the first Shadow Yoga teachings in Canada.
Shadow Yoga, as taught at Hatha Yoga Shala, emphasizes dynamic fixed sequences known as preludes that prepare practitioners for unobstructed asana work. These preludes focus on stabilizing joints, releasing muscle tension, and synchronizing breath, ultimately leading students to a practice of freestyle that allows for fluid spontaneity and grace in movement.
Rhonda Fogel (Radhasri), the founder of Hatha Yoga Shala, has been teaching yoga since 1998 and studying under the guidance of Sundernath (Shandor Remete) since 2004. As the only authorized Shadow Yoga teacher in Canada, Radhasri brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her classes, which aim to educate the body and mind through basic movement principles and the development of vital breath.
At Hatha Yoga Shala, courses are designed to provide a solid foundation and preparation for the deeper practices of yoga, such as asana, bandhas, mudras, and pranayama. Students are encouraged to explore their practice with mindfulness and awareness, straying away from conditioned reactions and moving with inner guidance.
For those interested in delving deeper into the practice of Shadow Yoga, books authored by Sundernath (Shandor Remete) are available for purchase through Hatha Yoga Shala. The studio also offers a selection of shadow yoga clips for further exploration of this unique style.
Join Rhonda Fogel (Radhasri) and experience the transformative power of Shadow Yoga at Hatha Yoga Shala in Montreal and Wentworth, Quebec. With a focus on the simplicity of the system and the natural order of progression in asanas, Hatha Yoga Shala is dedicated to guiding students on their yoga journey with integrity and authenticity.
