Yoga ClassesAll my classes practice mindfulness of the breath and body.
Sadhana Yoga blends a wide range of Yogic principles drawing on influences from posture work (asana), aswell as pranayama (breathing practices), bandhas and mudras('energy centres' and symbolic hand gestures), meditation and relaxation techniques.
The classes are made accessible for all people so that you can take the classes at your own pace and enjoy the practice. This approach can help us to see Yoga as less of a 'goal' oriented pratice which often lead to anger and frustration. I encourage people to use their breath and Pranayama (breath expansion techniques) to enter into a state of dhyana and dharana (concentration and internal focus) which can lead us into a beautiful state of being free from the ego self (samadhi to moksha) to allow a sense of joy and peace in the internal bodies.
If you can breath then you can practice Yoga. All is ask is that you listen to YOUR body, be mindful and enjoy the practice.
Just bring a warm heart and an open mind.
