Style of Yoga to be taught
There are almost as many definitions of the word ‘yoga’ as there are styles of yoga practice. One of our favourite definitions is that Yoga is a ‘union’ - of mind, body and breath. It is a profound, radical and transformative practice.
People come to yoga classes for many different reasons – to increase flexibility, to sleep better, to tone up, to relax – however often they will find other benefits from them.
The practice of Yoga Asana (physical positions) are the tip of an iceberg into a much wider and deeper set of practices and ways of living. Traditional yoga consists of eight pillars, including how we live our lives, Pranayama (breathing exercises), inner awareness, concentration, and ultimately Samadhi – or the blissful state of oneness. Although we cannot promise Samadhi in all classes we will bring in many of the other dimensions of yoga into the classes, such as pranayama, and inner focus.
The style of teaching will be a ‘Mindful Vinyasa Yoga’. This is a slow flowing style which brings in intelligent sequencing, mindfulness, a focus on inner awareness, and moving with the breath. We will combine more flowing classes with opportunities to break down the poses and explore fundamental principles in yoga, such as how we can use the ground to engage and enliven our poses and how we can create space in our bodies, by working with partners or using props. We teach breathing and a variety of meditation techniques from different traditions in each class to enable student to further explore this part of yoga.
