These classes are based on the Sivananda tradition of yoga as modified by Swami Vishnudevananda who recommended a daily practice of the 12 Basic Asanas

Class will focus breathing exercises (breath of fire and alternate nostril breathing), sun salutations and a variety of the 12 Basic Asanas. Classes end with a relaxation practice, essential to gaining the most benefit from your practice. Classes are gentle enough for beginners, and challenging enough for more advanced yoga practitioners. All levels of experience are welcome.

The student will gain an understanding of:

  • Full yogic breathing and two other breathing practices
  • The Sun salutation
  • The basic postures of the Sivananda system
  • Proper relaxation

References will be made periodically to the book, Yoga Mind and Body by the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, which is a great resource on many aspects of yoga.
