What Is Kemetic Yogaâ„¢?

Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ is a system of Yoga based upon practices and ideas of enlightenment from ancient Egypt. It’s inspiration comes from the study of the spiritual science of ancient Egypt, the symbols of the hieroglyphic system and the performance of the Yogic postures found on the walls of temples, tombs, monuments and ancient texts. We have demonstrated that performing the postures and movements in the Kemetic record produce profound improvements in overall health both physical and psychological. Our work has shown that the geometric shapes and forms of the human body in the Kemetic record are more than just symbols but actually meant as a methodology that we are to duplicate to assist us on the path towards enlightenment. Master Yirser Ra Hotep who coined the term KEMETIC YOGA was introduced to Yoga by Dr. Asar Ha-pi. From this initial introduction Yirser has continued to develop, refine and innovate the current system which incorporates the YogaSkills Method (YSR) which includes the concept of Internal Self Regulation (ISR), Rule of Four Breathing (RFB) and Geometric Progression (GP).

Innovations that Master Yirser Ra Hotep has added to the practice of his system of Kemetic Yoga over the years includes flow sequences created during his numerous journeys to Egypt including Ma’at Ka, Teken Sequence, Kemetic Sun Salutation, RSWT QWED Meditation (To Be Awake While Asleep) as well as the refinement of practice concepts such as Rule of Four Breathing and Geometric Progression. Yirser has chosen the Kemetic term “Wat Ma’at” which means “the way of order, balance and harmony” to designate his unique system of Kemetic Yoga.

Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ is a healing and regenerative Yoga system that is characterized by a series of geometrically progressive postures that creates alignment of the spinal column and corrects defects in the skeletal muscular system in order to relieve stress, increase blood circulation, nutrient and oxygen supply to vital body systems, and to allow internal life force energy and cerebral spinal fluid to flow more efficiently and abundantly throughout the entire body.

Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ is part of the YogaSkills Methodâ„¢ of Yoga practice that emphasizes creating conditions through activating the parasympathetic nervous system whereby the body and mind can heal themselves as opposed to extreme gymnastic and contortionist postures that often cause injury and result in useless competitive mindsets that plague the commercial Yoga industry today.

Origin

Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ emerges from the one of the oldest known civilizations which is ancient Egypt, properly called Kemet, in Northeastern Africa and rivals the evolution of Yoga in India. Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ was developed by studying, translating and interpreting the commonly called hieroglyphic texts of Kemet (ancient Egypt) and the images of Yogic postures that are clearly pictured on the walls of the Kemetic temples.

Kemetic Yogaâ„¢ is both a philosophy and a practice based upon the Kemetic systems of self-development that fueled the creation of the Kemetic civilization that spawned western science, philosophy and religion.
