Yoga
A yoga class is a practice that involves a series of physical postures (known as asanas) , breathing techniques (pranayama) , and meditation .
What are the classes like?
01
Intention and Initial Connection (Sankalpa and Class Theme)
Starting the class with intention helps with mental focus and truly transforms your yoga practice into a practice of self-(re)awareness. This is the moment to calm your mind with intention, noticing how you are and consciously choosing where you want to go.
03
Postures (asanas)
During the main part of the class, students are guided through a series of psycho-physical yoga postures that may focus more on flexibility, balance, endurance or strength.
05
Relaxation (Savasana or Yoganidra)
02
Joint Mobilization and Warm-up (pavanamuktasana)
Gentle series of movements and stretches to warm up the body and prepare it for the flow of postures during practice.
04
Breathing (pranayama)
Conscious breathing techniques (often rhythmic) during the execution of asanas that help with focus, strength and relaxation.
06
Final Integration (Mantra and Meditation)
Final relaxation in the lying position that provides the integration of the physical, mental and energetic benefits of the practice.
Moment to consciously close the practice where students are invited to remember the benefits and insights of the practice.
