Class Overview
In our yoga classes together we will move through our practice with a meditative awareness, bringing mindfulness to each posture. We will also experience the powerful effects of traditional yogic breathing, body locks, mantras, and kriyas. We will learn how to live a more awakened life by reflecting on the wisdom tradition teachings from ancient sages such as Pantanjali and Buddha, to modern day teachers such as Ram Dass and Eckhart Tolle. In each class we will explore how we can apply these teachings to our yoga practice, and to our everyday life.
The physical benefits of yoga have been well documented in scientific studies. Our classes take our yoga practice to the next level; working with not only the body, but with the mind, heart and spirit to help us live an enlightened life. This is the way yoga has been practiced for centuries, and we continue in this time-honored tradition.
