Our Classes:
Our yoga classes are based upon a melding of Ashtanga (flowing yoga) and Hatha (static poses) yoga systems and cater for all levels of experience and flexibility from beginners who can’t touch their toes to experienced Yoga devotees who can tie themselves in knots!
Ashtanga yoga is a system involving synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures. The main component of Ashtanga yoga is 'vinyasa', which simply means 'breathing and movement system'. For each movement, there is one breath. This process produces an intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
The purpose of vinyasa is for internal cleansing. Breathing and moving together while performing asanas (yoga postures) makes the blood hot. Thick blood is dirty and causes disease in the body. The heat created from yoga cleans the blood and makes it thin, so that it may circulate freely. The combination of the asanas with movement and breath make the blood circulate freely around all the joints, taking away body pains. When there is a lack of circulation, pain occurs. The heated blood also moves through all the internal organs removing impurities and disease, which are brought out of the body by the sweat that occurs during practice.
Hatha yoga is a relaxed system of body movements practised with a free flowing breath and a quiet mind so that you may give it your full attention, with full awareness. It includes gentle stretches to release tension, postures to align the body & enhance energy flow, breathing techniques to further promote the energy flow of the body and relaxation and meditation to settle the nervous system and calm the mind.
