Practicing Philosophy
The essence of Yoga is
to merge consciously with the self. In Ashtanga & Hatha Yoga
we learn to release the physical and experience the subtlety
of our being. We begin to experience the rejuvenation,
health, and vitality that radiates as a result of a regular
practice. The "asanas" or physical poses are practiced to
open subtle energy channels that become blocked in our
internal bodies. By placing the body in correct alignment, "prana"
or lifeforce energy, surges through the body creating a flow
of "shakti" or radiant energy. We also begin to
stretch, strengthen, and balance our bodies. The classes are
designed to focus on a set of postures accentuating benefits
for a specific area of the body. Pranayama or breathing
techniques are used to relax, purify, warm, and invigorate
the mind and body throughout the practice. Adjustments and
assists will be provided by the instructor to place
the student in proper alignment, and to gently deepen
the stretch allowing students to sink deeper into their
breath and enjoyment of the posture. All levels of the
practitioners are welcome and encouraged to listen to their
own needs. With the guidance of the teacher the student may
delve deeper into their own practice attaining
benefits from holding the poses and focusing on
their breath.
The Benefits of Yoga
