Shadow Yoga is a style of Hatha Yoga developed by Shandor Remete, including asana, bandha, pranayama, mudra, and meditation aspects. The term "Shadow" is a direct reference to ancient yogic texts that directly influenced Remete. These classes usually do not use yoga mats, and involve a range of twelve positions and movements adapted from martial arts and dance, as well as the plant and animal kingdoms.
