Universal Yoga is a systematic approach to spiritual evolution based on the key principles of classical yoga, creativity in practice and personal freedom. Andrey Lappa developed the Universal Yoga system after two decades of intensive study and practice with spiritual teachers throughout Asia. His theory lectures offer insightful and comprehensive knowledge and skills for harmonizing spiritual awakening through yoga with everyday life.

When we released Andrey's Level 1 box-set at the end of 2004, nothing like it had ever been done in the yoga world. Well, the depth and originality of Andrey's insight into yoga practice opened a lot of eyes. Reviewer Richard Rosen placed the Level 1 box-set on his list of Top Ten Yoga Videos of All Time in the September 2006 issue of Yoga Journal. Tim Noworyta of Yoga Chicago Magazine wrote, "Lappa's Universal Theory of Yoga is amazingly thorough and comprehensive...He's clearly someone who has gone deep into the heart of yoga and found insight, balance and inspiration."

But that was only Level 1 of Andrey's program. The Universal Theory of Yoga Level 2 features the next installment of 24 hours of lectures on 6 DVDs. Once again these are the complete lectures from Andrey's Advanced Studies program.

The Level 2 box-set will feature an in-depth exploration of Andrey's universal system of sequencing, which is one of Andrey's most innovative and remarkable contributions to the evolution of hatha yoga. Andrey focuses on how to use the elements of hatha yoga practice—asanas, vinyasas, pranayamas, bandhas, mudras, etc.—to create powerful and effective practice sequences to achieve any goal in yoga.

Lecture topics from this Level II DVD box-set include:

• The universal parameters of hatha yoga
• How to analyze any practice, style or school of yoga

• Sequencing and its influence on states of consciousness

• Multi-dimensional structures: how using the body to create patterns

in three-dimensional space powerfully influences consciousness

• Digital Balancing: how to create perfectly balanced sequences

• Sequencing to compensate for daily activity

• Partner Yoga

• Tantric Partner Practices

• Lesser-known practices, including the Yoga of Sleep

• Yoga and Sex
