Our Healing Yoga Style
Our Healing Yoga Style
There are some distinguishing characteristics to the Integral Style of Hatha Yoga that is taught in our yoga teacher training course.
- * yoga should be energizing and help you to feel relaxed and at ease for the day, not exhausted
- * we practice classical postures that have specific benefits and are helpful for meditation
- * this practice teaches you how to sit still and train the mind to control the body
- * by longer held postures, you have time to notice the patterns in the mind
- * anybody can do these poses
- * practicing slower at times can allow for the internal feelings to be noticed thus deeper changes occur
- * awareness of body brings about changes in awareness of eating habits and thus helps in weight loss or management
- * intelligent sequences of poses
- * emphasis is on therapeutics, maintenance and the internal physiology of organs and body systems (not just muscles and ligaments)
- * we teach breathing exercises and meditation from day 1
- * no overuse of same muscles groups
- * breathing is always regulated, deep and appreciated in the practice
- * we use “OM” and other sound healing techniques to work on the mind/body
