Anusara Yoga

Anusara, which means ‘flowing with grace’, is a form of yoga which focuses on alignment.

The principal aspects that define Anusara are:

• a philosophy defined from tantra which teaches that all things are good.
• a vinyasa style practice that emphasises heart opening and the application of the universal principles of alignment not by fixing and correcting students but by enhancing the qualities that are already present in each student’s poses.

This style of yoga is about empowering the individual, focusing on goodness through self esteem. It is a joyful creative process incorporating the three A’s… Attitude, Alignment, Action.

Every pose is ‘opening to grace’ meaningfully connected to the overall purpose of yoga, and focusing on postural alignment, balance and stability with positivity and freedom.

The aim of each class is to have the student leaving with an overall feeling of empowerment by feeling better about herself.

What a positive way to start or finish the day, focusing on the good and having the intention of energy flow through the muscles and organically through oneself celebrating each individuals divine nature. 

Kundalini Yoga

The Kundalini is untapped energy (prana) at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the crown chakra at the top of the head. Kundalini energy is often represented as a snake coiled at the bottom of the spine.

Kundalini has a specific focus on breath and movement where each Kundalini Yoga asana series is done with a specific breathing technique that intensifies the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. Kundalini sequences called kriyas may consist of rapid, repetitive movements done in conjunction with a designated breathing method or holding a pose while breathing in a particular way.

Kundalini is one of the more spiritual types of yoga. It goes beyond the physical performance of poses with its emphasis on breathing, meditation, mudras and chanting. However, the Kundalini sequences can be very physically intense. This type of yoga appeals to those who are up for both mental and physical challenges. Find out more about kundalini yoga here.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is the most widely practiced form of yoga in the world. Hatha Yoga uses postures (asana) and conscious breathing (Pranayama) in combination with mental focus to develop awareness, strength and flexibility, and relaxation. Through proper alignment and mindful actions of the body, Hatha Yoga brings balance, strength, and a sense of well-being to the practitioner.
The word hatha is a combination of the Sanskrit words for “sun” (ha) and “moon” (tha). Hatha Yoga describes any of the physical practices of yoga. Dynamic Hatha Yoga means a vigorously active physical yoga.

Some benefits of Hatha Yoga

• Builds strength
• Increases flexibility and muscle tone
• Brings focus to the mind

Vinyasa Bhakti Flow Yoga

Vinyasa Bhakti Flow Yoga is a dynamic, soulful, devotional and rejuvenating physical yoga practice fusing the principles of hatha vinyasa yoga ( the union of body, breath, and movement) and the qualities of bhakti yoga (gratitude, open-heartedness, humility, compassion, and devotion). At any level, you are encouraged to honor Yourself.

Classes will generally involve a flow of movement through a series of poses – building heat, stamina and suppleness, paced either moderately or vigorously depending on the level.

Ashtanga Yoga

A system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing 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.

Pranayama Practices

“Pranayama is control of Breath”. “Prana” is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and “ayama” means control. So Pranayama is “Control of Breath”. One can control the rhythms of pranic energy with pranayama and achieve healthy body and mind.

Five types of prana are responsible for various pranic activities in the body, they are Prana, Apana, Vyan, Udana & Samana. Out of these Prana and Apana are most important. Prana is upward flowing and Apana is downward flowing. Practice of Pranayama achieves the balance in the activities of these pranas, which results in healthy body and mind.
