>Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga Asana

A Classic sequence of the Hatha & Ashtanga Asanas series to begin the journey from the gross body (Annamaya Kosha). Asana is one of the most important limbs of Yoga. Pawan Mukta Asana series, Sun Salutation series, and other Yoga Asanas series will be practiced with alignment, adjustment, and modification.

>Pranayama & Shatkarma

After the Annamaya Kosh, we move to the Pranamaya  Kosha, and that is where the practices of Pranayama help to clear the subtle body. Shatkarma is a process of cleansing the impurities from the body to keep a healthy body. Pranayama (breathing practice), is considered to be the primary stage of meditation.

>Anatomy & Physiology

Learning the functional aspects of our body muscle, joints, and bones, has a unique place in yoga practices. The working of the Human respiratory system, digestive system, muscular system, and skeletal system, will be covered in the Yoga Anatomy & Physiology sessions.

>Classical Yoga Philosophy

Yoga with Philosophy fructifies in a much better way. Yoga is an ancient Vedic philosophy connective the jiva (soul), to the Paramatma (supreme). In Philosophy, we will discuss, the origin of Yoga, the eightfold system of Yoga along with other forms of Yoga.

>Meditation & Mantra Chanting

Meditation as the most important limb of Yoga works on the Manomaya Kosha which is even subtler than the Pranamaya Kosha. Along with Meditation, we will learn to chant mantras, which are a more powerful tool to control the mind.

>Ayurveda & Healthy Living

Ayurveda is an ancient Vedic science of healing that comes from Atharvaveda. Ayurveda is an eternal science to live a healthy lifestyle by knowing and purifying the different constituents of the human body.
