The Physical Practice of Yoga:

​

Yoga has six branches, from which Hatha Yoga focuses on the practice of yoga postures, or asanas. Hatha is the yoga of balance, where ‘ha’ means ‘sun’ and ‘tha’ means ‘moon’ in Sanskrit. The practice of Hatha is designed to align and calm the body, mind and spirit, and bring balance to every aspect of life; the day and night, the good and bad, the positive and negative, the happiness and sorrow, and so on.
In the West, where the physical-based practice is the most popular, Hatha Yoga refers to all the styles of yoga that are grounded in a physical practice (e.g. Vinyasa, Power, Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc.). In other words, all the different styles of physical-based yoga are under the umbrella of Hatha Yoga, as the asanas are the same. The variety of styles just enables us to choose the style of yoga practice that best suits to our needs, our abilities and tastes.

​

Gentle Yoga - 60 minute practice

​

Everyday we spend hours following the wrong posture while sitting or walking, our mind is stressed due to work pressure and commitments. Let's take a step towards wellbeing through Yoga.

​

Yoga is an ancient Indian collection of various spiritual techniques compiled by stages that aims at integrating Mind, Body and Spirit to achieve a bliss or Oneness with the Universe. Being a beginner in yoga can be intimidating since Our bodies are different and so are our capabilities. Yoga is not about being extremely flexible or twisting your muscles and spine into fancy shapes. It's about being Mindful about your body, your breath, finding inner strength through meditation and creating wellness in your body with basic yoga poses. It's truly that simple.

​

 In the Gentle Yoga sessions we will learn various breathing techniques ( Pranayama), Yoga Postures (Asanas), Dhyana (Meditation), Mudras (body gestures), Shatkarma (cleansing techniques) and Guided Relaxation. The poses will be customized according to your limitations, ailments and comfort so that you can reap maximum benefit from the Practice. People from all age groups are welcome.

​

Morning Yoga with Nidhi - 60 minute practice

Morning Yoga is a mix of various Yoga techniques designed to create a strong physical and mental boost at the start of your day that will ensure that you can spend your day with maximum efficiency and positivity. Doing yoga in the morning presents us with an opportunity to tune inwards to acknowledge our own needs before we rush off to address everyone else’s. Morning Yoga will not only wake up your body and rev up your metabolism for the day along with increased mental clarity for the day ahead but also has the added benefit of increasing the release of endorphins (happy hormones) and making the body a more physically comfortable place to live in. An hour session of Morning Yoga is a combination of Pranayama/Breathwork, Asana (Yoga Postures), Dhyana (Meditation) and Relaxation.

​

Hatha Yoga - 60 minute practice

​​

In a typical Hatha class, static yoga postures and breathing exercises are introduced, whereas short meditation and relaxation are encouraged. In the cases where breath and gentle movement are used to move from an asana to another, the yoga practice is called Hatha Flow, due to the fluid movement that occurs. The objective of Hatha Flow is to find calm amongst a stormy world, stillness in movement and flow in stillness. Both Hatha styles are suitable to increase strength, balance, flexibility and body awareness, improve posture and concentration, and bring stillness to mind. By the end of each session, everybody leaves class feeling lighter, longer and relaxed.

Hatha Yoga and Hatha Flow Yoga are not solely physical challenging practices, as they are paced slower than other styles of yoga (e.g. Vinyasa and Power Yoga).

​

Power Vinyasa Yoga - 60 minute practice

​

Power and Vinyasa Yoga constitute powerful and energetic forms of the physical-based yoga practice, where the fluid movement from one pose to the next is synchronized to breath. Both styles incorporate interval and cross-training yoga exercise to challenge both the aerobic and anaerobic systems of the body. Thus, Power and Vinyasa are suitable to improve strength, flexibility, balance, breathing habits, blood circulation and focus, and increase stamina and metabolism.
Every session ends with guided relaxation, so to consciously and mindfully release the tension from every part of the body, slow down the breath and heart rate, appreciate and enjoy stillness, and relax.
