Gentle Yoga

Ease into your morning with a no pressure practice, designed to kindly wake up the body & ground yourself for the day ahead.

Hatha Yoga

This unique Sivananda Hatha yoga class blends the rich traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. This class integrates ancient techniques with modern mindfulness practices, focusing on meditation, breath control, and the pursuit of inner peace. In Hinduism, yoga is viewed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, aiming to unite the individual soul with the divine. Meanwhile, Buddhism emphasizes mindfulness and the cessation of suffering through meditation and ethical living.

​

Our class structure includes a brief discussion on the theoretical aspects, followed by guided breath work (Pranayama), chanting, and meditation (Dhyana). We then move into a series of yoga postures (Asanas) to stretch and strengthen the body, concluding with a relaxation phase.

​

This holistic approach, inspired by the Sivananda tradition, aims to provide a comprehensive experience, integrating the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of yoga. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will find value in this harmonious blend of ancient traditions.
