Amrit, Kripalu and Ashtanga Yoga

The purpose of this yoga lineage is to guide you toward cultivating a conscious connection, integration and awakening of the body, mind, heart and spirit.

You will learn and practice Patanjali’s 8 limbs of yoga:

• Yama: universal ethics
• Niyama: personal observances
• Asana: physical postures
• Pranayama: breath
• Pratyahara: withdrawal of the senses
• Dharana: concentration
• Dhyana: meditation
• Samadhi: tranquility, spiritual illumination, union in one’s Divine Source

What To Expect

Work primarily with the Amrit posture sequence, gentle vinyasa flows and extended posture holding times.

Explore the deepest levels of body, mind and spirit with the integrative practices of clear intention, breath, meditative awareness and conscious integration.

Learn to balance your nervous system with the “first half” and “second half” of a posture. To transition from an active state of “doing” a posture, to a relaxed state of “being”. And to feel the effects of a posture.

Learn to consciously encounter your “edge” of body and mind to release deep tensions and restore the natural flow of the vital life force energy (prana).

Class Level

Good for all levels, from those with some experience to more experienced practitioners. Some experience with yoga and postures is recommended.
