Budokon
Yoga
“Budokon is a way to self-transformation through self-observation.”
– Cameron Shayne
​
Budokon system is based on the belief that all changes begin in the mind. The way we think reflects on how we feel, which then reflects on how we speak, how we move, and ultimately how we show up in the world.
BU- ‘warrior’, -DO- ‘way’, -KON ‘spirit’ can be translated as “the way of the warrior’s spirit. In the center lies the physical, mental and emotional development of each practitioner. Through its 6 pillars (movement, nutrition, emotions, thoughts, relationships, environment), Budokon successfully combines the key elements for well-being and a fulfilled life.

“The way we do anything, is the way we do everything.”
What’s Budokon Yoga?
​
Budokon style yoga is a modern yoga style which unites the ancient tradition of self inquiry with modern mixed movement. Budokon Yoga was codified and popularized by Cameron Shayne in 2001. Considered a science, art and philosophy which synchronizes classical yoga with, martial arts, calisthenics, animal locomotion and life science, this physically demanding style reshaped modern yoga by rejecting the qualities of a yogi as defined by the yoga sutras, in place of more contemporary constructs of morality, spirituality and discipleship. The style was created as a condition practice for movers of all types seeking the highest level of agility, mobility, stamina, and strength.
The foundation of this style is the Budokon Yoga Primary Series. This series consists of 7 intelligently assembled sections of slow and controlled movements designed to improve mobility, agility, flexibility and strength.
The techniques are learned through repetition and precision, the emphasis being on the transitions from posture to posture, rather than the holding of postures. The purpose of this class is to gain muscular strength, cardiovascular stamina, and joint mobility.
