Classes Lesson

The distinguishing elements of Astanga Yoga and its practice are woven together with the 8 limbs of Patanjali yoga Sutras to create Sadhna – a complete spiritual practice. These elements are:
• Vinyasa – breath synchronized motion
• Ujjai Pranayama – Victorious Breathing
• The Bandhas – Inner Locks
• The Dristis – Gaze Points


As the breath and body flow together as ne, tapas internal heat is generated and begins a process of purification. Trough practice, layers of bodily existence are cleansed, transforming deep-rooted patterns to liberate the body, mind and heart.

What You Get From This Classes

Please ask the teacher to give you 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 45 minutes practice based on the time you want to devote for your practice. The standing Asanas develop concentration and strength; the seated Asanas create suppleness and a sense of calm; and the finishing sequence slows the mind, cultivating clarity and a meditative state.
