Classic Traditional Yoga

Yoga is a word derived from the Sanskrit word Yuj (To yoke, to get Samadhi or perfect concentration) – Union of Individual self with Higher Self!. Yoga is an ocean of wisdom evolved over thousands of years. It is time-tested and highly individualistic. That’s why one needs a guide or Guru to be on the right path.  Yoga teaches us – 1) How to think good , do good with dutifulness and being responsible at self and social level (Karma); 2) With Love and Devotion (Bhakti); 3) By conquering our mind (Raja);and with 4) Intellect (Jnana).  These are the 4 paths of Yoga.  Yoga heightens our Awareness , helps us to explore Human Potential , learn Non-Duality (Adwaita) with Nature and reach the ultimate Bliss and finally to Pure Consciousness and BEING! This whole life journey can be explored with success to reach the ultimate goal……….Moksha or Liberation! Leaving all the bad and evil behind , from Mortal to Immortal, from Darkness to Light , from Non truth to Truth!. We usually think we do Yoga when we practice not just to do Yoga Postures (not necessarily Asana!) or breathing etc. but What one must always do is but Live it!  It is true to both Sanyasi (Monk) and Grihastha (common man)…….

Gentle / Beginner Yoga

Seated on low stools, the class mobilizes the spine through a series of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling movements.  These same movement patterns are expanded to release the hip, knee, hamstring, quadriceps and so on, in all possible directions: front, back, twisting and turning.  The corresponding breathing patterns in every movement stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and oxygenate the blood.
