Program
Yoga can be practiced by anybody, regardless of age, gender or level of fitness. It is a question of your personal commitment and discipline. We practice Yoga in different ways but all aspects. We so source our teachings from our teachers and Gurus from the Sivananda and Krishnamachara lineage, our own practice and focussed self-study and study of self.
Yoga is the suspension of the modification of the mind
Asana classes at our Studio
We offer several level Hatha Yoga classes practicing Asanas (poses) in a step-by-step sequential, static way, holding the poses and working on alignment. We also offer more dynamic Vinyasa classes with more rapid transitions and more gynmnastical moves. For lightness and added flexibility in postures we offer Aerial Yoga, and for good alignment and opening we offer Iyengar/chair yoga. Breathing, relaxation and chanting is an essential aspect of all of our classes.

Other Activities
-
Meditation
Meditation is at the core of the practice of Yoga. It is to attain the knowledge of your Self. It is through its practice that can liberate yourself from your mental attachments, travelling to your divine core, to attain a blissful state of peace.
Meditation cannot be taught, but we can provide guidance, to assist beginners, and to create joint energy within the group, which can be a wonderful experience. We close most classes with mediation or deep relaxation. We offer regular Mediation sessions on Sundays. -
Pranayama (Extension of Breath)
We control our mind and body through our energy that comes from our breathing. This energy is called prana. Through breathing practice - pranayama - we intend to regain physical and mental balance. Clean our our lungs & create focus, balance and energy between body and mind. In our fast paced world, many of us have forgotten deep and natural breathing, thus increasing levels of stress hormones in the body, and depleting it of energy. Through conscious breathing we come back to our Core balance. Pranayama is thus an essential part of our practice and is also taught in workshops.

Satsang (the company of the highest truth)
We regularly meet as truth seekers and convene to mediate, discuss and explore together truth. This involves reading from the scriptures and questions and answers of how to integrate the lessons into your daily life.

That means helping with the reception, maintenance, communication or applying any talent that you have for the good of the community .
