Traditional approach for body movements

1) Gentle Yoga

This gentle Yoga sequence is a complete series. The postures involved incorporate all the directions of motions a body can make, providing a normal range of joint motion, and developing tone and stamina in all the major muscles of the body. This series has a profound effect on the human body, and a subtle effect on the mind. It is most useful for the maintenance of health.

2) Beginners' Level

This beginners' level Yoga consists of elementary techniques designed to improve physical health and mental alertness, and heighten concentration. These effects are obtained through steady and comfortable stretching, and massaging and stimulating the energy channels and internal organs of the body. This session includes a set of specific postures, as well as relaxation and breathing techniques.

3) Intermediate Level

This session is for those who are adept at beginners' level Yoga and have been practicing for more than a year. The practices in this series develop strength, stamina and suppleness. A set of selected postures consisting of preparatory, main and counter poses, as well as relaxation and breathing techniques, are an integral part of this intermediate level class. Work includes preparation for an advanced group of bodily postures.

4) Advanced Level

This advanced level of Yoga is intended for people with considerable flexibility and strength, who have been practicing intermediate level Yoga regularly. The highlight of this session is the stimulation of the body' energy stations (also known as chakras) through a specific yogic sequence. This level also includes some advanced breathing practices that are both tranquilising and energising, and will prepare the aspirant for higher Yoga practices, such as Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi.

SURYANAMASKARA- SUN SALUTATION

   Yoga teachers often say that if you do only one asana a   day,  it should be the Sun salutation. For people with limited time, the Sun Salutation is excellent because it stretches and strengthens all the major muscle groups in the body and exercises the respiratory system.

  The Sun Salutation limbers up the whole body in preparation for the asanas. It is a graceful sequence of twelve positions linked by a continuous flowing motion, and accompanied by five deep breaths. Each position counteracts the one before, stretching the body in a different way and alternately expanding and contracting the chest to regulate the breathing.

Dynamic Yoga

 Involves the combination of energetic movements of the body, yogic locks and breathing. It is a nonstop continuous practice for 90 minutes aimed at increasing flexibility, speeding up blood circulation, loosening the muscles and joints of the body, releasing energy blockages and removing stagnant blood from different parts of the body.

The complete sequence tones the skin and muscles, strengthens the lungs, and encourages movement in the digestive and excretory systems. It has a profound effect at physical and causal levels.

Yoga For Common Ailments

Yoga is basically more preventive than curative. Recent scientific research shows that Yoga can tackle and manage many common ailments non-invasively.

Yoga as therapy means the application of yogic practices for various medical disorders. Yogic management of various common ailments, such as respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, gynecological, metabolic and orthopedic disorders, as well as pre- and post-natal Yoga, are taught in this session.
