OUR PHILOSOPHY
Yoga is a Medicine for our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual bodies
Mindful Practice of Yoga helps to Regulate & Rewire the Nervous System and Boost Metabolism through Breathing Practices and Meditative Asanas
About Yoga Class
Every class is unique and is designed in response to the energies of the day with one theme, one intention and one peak pose per session
The structure of the class:
1. We start by having a moment of silence and centring ourselves
2. We then use the breath-work, which is the KEY to our practice, to activate all energy points in our bodies with Ujjayi Pranayama or Dragon Breath, which can be used throughout the practice
3. We warm up with balanced set of stretches, which are counter-poses, which we hold for up to 30 sec each, or do reps, to get our body mind and spirit ready for the practice
4. This is followed by vinyasa flow in seated position, standing sun salutations, or warrior inversions in hatha, depending on a day, with a series of counter asanas to work on back, front and sides towards the peak pose
5. The yoga practice finishes with Shavasana or Yoga Nidra guided meditation to reboot our system and get ready for a day ☀️
Intention for each practice is to release emotions that hold us back - with every exhale we release heavy emotions, and replace them with clean energies on inhale, transforming them into magical air around us ✨
The goal in our sessions is to discover our own yoga practice, listen to our body and respond to it by following each movement in a mindful way
Namaste 🙏
