Shadow Yoga, founded by Zhander Remete, is a school of Hatha Yoga based on a practical understanding of the classical yoga texts. Fixed forms or preludes are used to prepare the student for different levels of asana. These preludes make use of warrior-forms (viraparampara) and sun-forms (suryanamaskar) to release obstructions in the peripheral body and the spine. Asana practice is introduced when the work of the preludes is understood.

Balakrama step to strength
The Balakrama builds strength and stamina. This prelude makes the core of the body firm and removes stiffness from the joints. Correct positioning and the application of marmasthana (the science of the vital junctions) awakens the intelligence of the body. Co-ordination of breath and movement is developed and the practice of bandhas (internal locks) is introduced. The Balakrama is recommended for students coming from other schools of yoga.

Moving the Shadow deepens the work of the warrior and sun forms and refines the coordination of the body and breath with broader stance work and more elaborate movements of the arms and legs.
