A dynamic approach, using co-ordination of breath and movement

An energizing class promoting flexibility & strength

All classifications of postures introduced; forward bends, backbends, lateral bends, twists, extensions, inversions and balances, graded in level of difficulty.

The proposal of this class is to use the sound of the Mantra as a focus of meditation. We will begin by introducing the meaning, the energy that we will invoke through the mantra, and learn its correct pronunciation and intonation.

Then we will begin to move through the āsanas (body postures) repeating the mantra audibly during the standing postures, and progressively as the practice progresses toward the floor, the volume of the mantra will be lowered until it becomes a mental sound.

Having prepared the body, the breath and the mind, we will sit comfortably for the practice of prāṇāyāma (breath techniques), where the mantra will be used as a breathing metric, focusing on the pause after inhaling, to leave the mind alert and focused for the meditation process.

Towards the end of the practice, we will lie down, remain in stillness, allowing time for the fruits of the practice to settle. In this open-hearted state we will receive a chant recited by the teacher.
