| WHAT
IS YOGA? |
|
|
The word "yoga" means "union".
Yoga is a form of exercise based on the belief that
the body and breath are intimately connected with
the mind. By controlling the breath and holding the
body in steady poses or "asanas", yoga creates
harmony. The mind becomes still, and the Inner
Self can be experienced.
Yoga practice consists of five key elements: proper
breathing, proper exercise, proper relaxation, proper
diet, and positive thinking and meditation. The
part of yoga familiar to us in the west focuses on the
exercises, or asanas, designed to ease tense
muscles, to tone up the internal organs, and to improve
the flexibility of the body's joints and ligaments.
This is called Hatha Yoga.
The Asanas (exercises): Yoga exercises focus first on
the health of the spine, it's strength and flexibility.
The spinal column houses the spinal cord, the main nerve
cable of the body. By maintaining the spine's flexibility
and strength through exercise, circulation is increased
and the nerves are ensured their supply of nutrients
and oxygen.
Asanas work on the internal machinery of the body, the
glands and organs, as well as the muscles. They affect
the deeper and more subtle parts of the body. The internal
organs receive massage and stimulation through the various
movements of the asanas, and are toned into more efficient
functioning. The endocrine system (glands and hormones)
is rejuvenated, helping to balance the emotions and
improve mental outlook on life. |

| Hatha
Yoga |
| |
| Hatha
means yoga of the body. Therefore all yoga involving the
body is Hatha yoga. Hatha is a very general term that
can encompass many of the physical types of yoga. If a
class is described as Hatha style, it is probably going
to be slow-paced and gentle, and can provide a good introduction
to the basic yoga poses. |
|
| Ashtanga
yoga |
| |
| Ashtanga
Yoga Ashtanga is based on the teachings of Sri Pattabhi
Jois and emphasizes the connection between movement and
breath. It is a dynamic system composed of a specifically
designed series of postures that emphasizes strength and
flexibility, while working to focus and calm the mind.
It is especially well suited for active people that are
looking for a workout. Ashtanga, which means eight limbs
in Sanskrit, is a fast-paced, intense style of yoga practice.
A set series of poses is performed, always in the same
order. Ashtanga practice is very physically demanding,
because of the constant movement from one pose to the
next. In yoga terminology, this movement is called flow. |
|
| Vinyasa
flow yoga |
| |
| Vinyasa
flow Yoga This is a graceful flowing practice that creatively
fuses the elements from other hatha methods, primarily
Ashtanga and Iyengar, depending on the approach of the
particular teacher. Each class is original and creative,
focuses on the marriage of breath and movement and blends
the artistic expression of the human heart with universal
principles of alignment or bio-mechanics of the body.
Like Hatha, Vinyasa is a general term that is used to
describe many different types of classes. Vinyasa, which
means breath-synchronized movement, tends to be a more
vigorous style based on the performance of a series of
poses called Sun Salutations in which movement is matched
to the breath. A Vinyasa class will typically start with
a number of sun salutations to warm up the body for more
intense stretching which is done at the end of class. |

| Pulse
Yoga |
 |
| |
| Pulse
Yoga is a totally new exercise paragon, this ideal form
of exercise applies micro movements & free weights
to basic yoga postures. These repetitive pulse movements
serve to strengthen, sculpt & tone. The use
of free weights with the postures defines muscles of the
arms & shoulders. Key areas such as the abdominal,
lower back & gluteus muscles are also targeted.
The sequencing of the postures allows you to flow smoothly
through the routine reaping all the benefits of yoga such
as flexibility, strength, balance & stamina.
The pulse element works to sculpt & tone the body
along the way. Pulse Yoga offers all of the benefits
of yoga & much more. |
| |
| What

free weights & micro movements

Abs, lower back, upper arms & gluteus muscles.

postures she is prepared for labour. Jill teaches encourages
exploration in her classes and places emphasis on allowing
the inner wisdom of the body to shine, helping people
to trust themselves and their journey. |
|
| Kundalini
yoga |
| |
| The
emphasis in Kundalini is on the breath in conjunction
with physical movement, with the purpose of freeing energy
in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. All
asana practices make use of controlling the breath, but
in Kundalini, the exploration of the effects of the breath
(also called prana, meaning energy) on the postures is
essential. Kundalini uses rapid, repetitive movements
rather than holding poses for a long time, and the teacher
will often lead the class in call and response chanting.
An intensive form of yoga, awakening the body, mind, and
spirit. Kundalini yoga is based on the teachings of Yogi
Bhajan and it emphasizes breath (Pranayama) and Mantra
(sound or chanting), focuses on raising consciousness
and energy (Kundalini) up from the base of the spine. |
|
| Sivananda
Yoga |
| |
| Sivananda,
founded by the late Swami Vishnu Devananda, set the tone
for many of the first yoga classes taught in this country.
The 60 to 90-minute classes incorporate a short chant,
poses, breathing, and deep relaxation. Classes are gentle
in approach, and usually follow the 12 poses found in
the Sun Salutation. Sivananda, one of the world's largest
schools of yoga, is very supportive to beginners. It follows
a set structure that includes breathing, classic asanas,
and relaxation, as well as principles of diet and positive
thinking. |
