Our Yoga
We are experienced practitioners and teachers of the Ashtanga and other traditions of yoga including Iyengar, Hatha, and Vinyasa Flow. Below is a brief overview of the classes that we run at our centre.
A dynamic sequence of postures practiced in a continuous flow. It
places equal emphasis on the development of strength, flexibility, and
stamina.
the main components are:
vinyasa - sychronizing breath and movement
bandhas - to generate and control the flow of energy
breath - ujjayi, ocean breath, empowers the movements
and develops concentration
dristi - gaze points to direct the attention inward.
In combination these four elements create a powerful practice generating internal heat and circulating a vital energy throughout the body, strengthening and purifying the nervous system.
Benefits of Ashtanga Yoga:
