Sundernath (Shandor Remete) was fortunate to be born into a
household at the southeastern tip of the great Hungarian plain
where the art of yoga was a daily presence. From this seed, his
destiny on the path of yoga unfolded.


He is an initiate of the Kanpatha Hatha Yogins of Nepal,
descendants of Sri Gorakhnath, and his Guru Sri Matsyendranath.
These great Yogins were the forefathers of Tantrik Hatha Yoga,
the heart of which is Hatha Yoga – the science bestowed upon
humanity by Adinatha (Lord Shiva).
Shadow Yoga

Shadow Yoga is a modern term that encompasses the ancient
practices originating with the
Pashupata tantrika yogins. These practises preceded and
gave rise to Hatha Yoga. 
The Pashupata tantrika yogins are the oldest known ascetic
yogins, even pre-dating Patanjali.


The name Shadow Yoga is derived from the sixth chapter (entitled
‘Yoga of the Shadow Man’) of the ancient tantrika treatise or
writings titled ‘The Shiva-svarodaya’ (the birth of the
breath of life revealed by the god Shiva).


The teaching of the Shadow School is based upon the ancient Hatha
Yogic texts which state that ‘all fixed forms should be designed
to develop the practice of freestyle’. Freestyle is a necessary
step in the cultivation of longevity and enlightenment.


The required tools are the Shadow Yoga prelude
forms, Nrtta (pure dance of
Shiva), Asana (posture), Pranayama (inner
breath control) and the mental practices through the concentrated
power of will termed Samyama (even restraint).


The basis for all is Nrtta which in its light form is the legacy
of the Pashupata tantrika yogins. Through this pure form, devoid
of any gymnastic or theatrical embellishments,
the sadhaka (aspirant) rediscovers the natural rhythmic
currents hidden within the body.


Most of the asanas used in contemporary Hatha Yoga schools are
adaptations of the standing and squatting karanas. The important
difference is that in the original practice the placement of the
legs was achieved through the energy of the legs whereas nowadays
the legs are manipulated with the hands to achieve the same
shapes.


Through Samyama the essence of these activities are drawn into a
single point that acts as the gateway into the immensity better
described as ‘the unknown’.


The Shadow Yoga teachings encompass different stages of learning.
There are various paths from which to choose as one ascends to
the heights of knowledge and experience. Each individual will
choose the path that they feel most drawn towards.
Preparatory forms (Introduction to Shadow Yoga)
2. Nrtta Sadhana– pure dance of shiva
3. Shadanga Yoga– six limbs (asana, pranayama etc.)
4. Individual Yogasana – personalised one-to-one teaching based on
the individual’s needs
