    Certainly yes. The exercise is based on body posture and movement. There's a description of it here on our website.

    Could you upload a video so we can get a better sense of what this northern tradition entails? Perhaps such a video would help amplify its psychic effects.

    There is a form of "Runic Yoga" that Edred Thorsson made popular, but I find it all horseshit.

    STAV “The fighting system of Northern Europe” as developed by Norwegian Ivar Hafskjold is another example that incorporates runic stances. I find the provenance suspect, according to Hafskjold it’s over a millennia old, for my money he developed it after he studied martial arts in Japan. Not that it’s a problem, I find the stances beneficial so I couldn’t care less whether his Viking ancestors did it or he invented it whilst sitting on the bog…..

    It tends to be a trend I have come across to claim that similar Indian/East Asian martial and philosophical arts also existed in Europe, Yoga is one example, basically relying on a depiction of what might be the god Cernunnos on the Gundestrup cauldron in the “lotus position”….hardly convincing. I’m not at all convinced any form of transcendent martial art in the East Asian sense existed in Europe, I’m certainly not convinced that Yoga or the type of meditation techniques found in Asia were practised in Europe, there probably was a form of Northern European meditative practise but I doubt it was anything like that found in India or the Far East.
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus

    It IS horseshit, and has nothing to do with any northern european tradition.
    I cannot believe that people who have a sincere interest in old germanic traditions actually buy this so called tradition as if it were true.

    No, not at all. I am too lazy to do it.

    I practice Ashtanga Vinyasa everyday. I haven't attended any classes in nearly a year, as money has been tight. I had attended classes normally for the past eight years, but with the economy, and my favorite teachers re-locating, I found it more practical to simply practice at home for about 20 minutes a day. Living Yoga by Christy Turlington is a very good book to guide people with their home practice. This is the book that inspired me to quit smoking.

    This is a very good book, as well.

    I have religiously practiced Yoga for nearly 15 years now, both in the home and in the classroom, and many styles(Hatha Yoga, Forrest Yoga, Hot Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, etc.)

    No, unfortunately, I have found it too difficult to quiet my restless mind.
