Yogic Arts Kula

HISTORY OF YOGIC ARTS


Yogic Arts is the system. Kula means school. During Duncan's training days in California in the 1980's and 1990's was at the time when traditional Astanga Vinyasa expanded into several paths of Vinyasa yoga that swept the globe. Vinyasa Yoga further developed to strict forms of creative flow sequencing that were based on asanas derived from Astanga, Iyengar and other systems of that time, such as Sivananda.

 

Duncan and a few other yogi warriors with backgrounds in combative arts and deep Zen Buddhist teachings emerged to form their own warrior style flow systems, that was based on their understanding of the Warrior stance's structuring and the Warrior life code that they saw in the yamas and other yogic scriptural wisdom.

 

By chance and perseverance, Duncan's Yogic Arts system was canonised in a series of award-winning American videos, artistically shot in Hollywood California, and became the first and most world recognised Western Warrior Flow system.

 

Duncan is clear to use the term Western because the ancient Indian Yogic Arts was established from prehistory, with a rich lineage that spans back to the untold millennium. Along with his image of an advanced Astanga pose on the cover of, at that time, the only recognised yoga magazine in the world, being the original American Yoga Journal, which introduced Astanga Vinyasa to the world yoga audience in January 1995. From that introduction, the world embraced Duncan as Master Wong, and he uses that title to encourage everyone to begin the master path. He says, 'Master the movement; master the mind.'

 

Today, this Warrior Flow has evolved from its roots to become is the standard practice in the world today.
