Practices taught in a typical class

Initial Relaxation to let go of physical & mental tensions & prepare the body & mind for the class.
Asanas (yogic postures) practiced with awareness, gently & non-competitively. The asanas work on the physical body gently stretching & toning the muscles, massaging & toning the organs, stimulating the nervous system, improving health & flexibility.
Pranayama (breathing practices) control, expand & balance the breath to calm & relax the mind & emotions as breath is the link between body & mind.

Meditation is introduced after beginners classes, including theory & practice, leading to inner stillness, balance & harmony.
