THE STORY OF AGOY

AGOY was created and formulated by John Morris, inspired by ancient Tibetan methods and practices for wellbeing and personal development. In the Tibetan tradition, movement, sound and colour meditation techniques are used by the lamas in Tibetan Buddhist temples.

John created the transformative energy of AGOY that Jason Watson, the facilitator, is attuned to when teaching the class. The structural components of movement, sound and colour techniques were formulated and refined over a year by John and Jason as an effective tool for personal development.

Movements were drawn from and inspired by Kundalini yoga, Hatha yoga, The 5 Tibetans, Contemporary Dance and others were self-devised

The designed effect of AGOY is to produce a feeling state of wellbeing, balance and harmony.

THE TECHNIQUE

AGOY IS CENTRED ON THE 7 MAJOR ENERGY CENTRES OF THE BODY

The location of the energy centres: 1st: At the base of the spine 2nd: Just below the navel 3rd: Just below the middle of the rib-cage 4th: In the middle of the chest in-line with the nipples 5th: Throat region 6th: In the middle of the forehead 7th: On the top of the head

MOVEMENTS

Movements that relate to these 7 energy centres are performed while Tibetan Bowls tone in the respective key.

COLOUR BREATHING TECHNIQUE

A colour breathing technique follows the movement, energizing each of the energy centres

KIDNEY BREATHING MEDITATION

A kidney breathing meditation then replenishes the endocrine system and grounds the body

Rest: A period of rest helps to integrate the work

Closing down ceremony: The class ends with closing off the energy centres for protection and containment
