Budokon yoga
The BUDOKON YOGA style created by Cameron Shayne in 2001 was originally created as a condition practice for grapplers and mixed martial arts fighters. The style unites the ancient traditions of Zen mediation with a modern movement lexicon comprised of classical yoga with, martial arts, mobility, crawling patterns and life sciences. This physically demanding style reshaped modern yoga postural practice by introducing a number of transitions not commonly found in traditional yoga including spinal undulations, spiral transitions, and martial arts stances.
“Balance. Something we never have, but are always trying to establish.
Like the Truth ”
