Pranayama Yoga

Prana breath, in Sanskrit the word means life-force. Pranayama (the act of taking in Prana) teaches that during the retention portion of the breath cycle, one should consciously retain the Prana, then release the carbon dioxide (and other gases) from the lungs during exhalation, storing the prana in the Manipura, or 3rd Chakra.

At the studio we explore many breathing techniques to help improve lung capacity and reach a state of calming the mind.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is a holistic yogic path, Hatha represents opposing energies: hot and cold (fire and water, following the same concept as the yin-yang), male and female, positive and negative. Hatha yoga attempts to balance mind and body via physical exercises, or "asanas", controlled breathing, and the calming of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Asanas teach poise, balance & strength and are practiced to improve the body's physical health and to clear the mind.

Astanga Yoga

This method of Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures – a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscle and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Iyengar Yoga

Classes are based on the teachings of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar (Guruji) a living legend who has taught yoga in a unique way to all his students. Precision and beauty mark the asana and the regular practice integrates the body, mind and emotions.

Yoga for Beginners

No one is too young, too old or too unfit to try yoga. The YTTC tutors teach with patience and care,

building up student confidence so practitioners can quickly enjoy the benefits of better posture and breathing technique.
