Yoga Practices.

What is Yoga?
A Practice towards a state of Well-being.
Why is it called a 'Practice'?
Because evolution is a constant.

Breath Work, Movement, Mindfulness & Sound Healing. Which create wellbeing & deeper connection with yourself and others.

The Physical aspect of Yoga is only one part, Hatha Yoga ( Sun in Sanskrit ), is physical Yoga adding the breath brings about the Mind and Body union. Physical Yoga is a type of Tantra, which is when we connect and harmonise the body layers through the breath. Vinyasa Flow, 'intelligent sequencing of postures’, is a fluid continuous moving Yoga flow. Asana is practised to open the body’s 72,000 Nadis, ( energy meridians in the body six of which are in each hand and foot!

This is Sattva Yoga which involves Tantra Kriyas, which are powerful breath practices with movement, that create evolution in all areas of your being. Sattwa is Himalayan Kundalini and this practice engages and benefits more that the body’s physical system, and incorporates all the Yogic styles in a practice, as the body’s full system of intelligence is needed to harmonise body, mind, and spirit.

In a Sattwa Yoga class or Journey we work with your layers of bodies, Physical, Mental, Emotional, Energy, Wisdom, Pseudo,and Bliss bodies. You have a lot more bodies than you think! Then theres the 7 seven energy centres in the body, remember those 7 colours of the rainbow? It's all connected.

Hatha Asana refers to body positions, or postures, associated with the practice of Yoga.

A typical Sattwa Journey is 60 or 90minutes.

We begin with Meditation to get the mind offline, followed by focus on the subtle body with Pranayama breath work, Tantra Kriyas and Mantra.

Kriyas demand presence from you, while it may take up to 30 minutes for a pose to have a deep penetrating effect, for example cleansing the liver, this is achieved with Kriyas in minutes.

Mudra is used to help attain a certain psychic state, ie one of a balanced Auric field. Bhandas are locks in the body, used to stimulate energy and release. Mantra ( Naad ) is used to reach deep into ones consciousness for evolutionary change or growth.

This is usually followed by a Vinyasa Warrior Flow, balancing, Chi flows, Laya movements, and ecstatic dance, finishing with Yin, a slow deep practice with postures held from 3 to 8 minutes with a guided meditation to finish.

Yoga that focuses only on just the muscular system, or any other system, in separation from the whole will create imbalance in that system and therefore in the body as a whole.
