CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
ASHTANGA YOGA
This is the classical raja yoga system of eight progressive stages or steps as described in numerous Hindu. The eight limbs are: restraints (yama), observances (niyama), postures (asana), breath control (pranayama), sense withdrawal (pratyahara), concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and contemplation (samadhi).
HATHA YOGA *^
Hatha yoga, pronounced "ha-tuh", is also known as hatha vidya or the "science of hatha" yoga; this word comes from combining the two sanskrit terms "hat" meaning sun and "ha" meaning moon. The word "hat" refers to the solar nadi (pingala) in the subtle body and "ha" the lunar channel (ida). This is a passive yoga and Australia’s most popular type. You will hold each posture (asana) for long periods of time and work through every part of the body with a relaxation / meditation session at the end of each class.
IYENGAR YOGA *^
Iyengar is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga, emphasizing the development of strength, stamina, flexibility and balance, as well as concentration (Dharana) and meditation (Dhyana).
