Yogena
Yogo Jnatavyo
"Only through the practice of Yoga is Yoga
known"
Quotation
from the Vishnu Purana given by Vyasa
in his commentary on Yoga Sutra
We strive to respect the ancient model of
learning where yoga was taught one-on-one. Even in our group classes, we tailor
our instruction to meet the needs of each student.
We begin introducing asanas
gradually and with a focus on the breath so as to insure a safe experience.
Both while moving in the
postures as well as in a seated position, students learn to become more
conscious of their breathing. With proper guidance, conscious breathing becomes
a form of meditation that calms restless thoughts, manages energy, and strengthens
the immune and nervous systems.
The philosophy of yoga as expressed
in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, which defines yoga as meditation, is woven into
all aspects of our teaching.
Our goal is to lead students
towards an independent practice that will open them up to the benefits of
yoga.
