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.
     

  • Yoga Nidra is a simple guided meditation practice which promotes very deep relaxation. Half an hour of yoga nidra is as restful as 2 hours of normal sleep.
     

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