Employing asana, pranayama and samyama, classes explore how body, breath and mind work hand in hand to appease the ever-moving content of consciousness.

Asana is an intentional postural practice designed to aid one in being awake. Engaging in a sequence of poses gives one a chance to experience changing conditions and to recognize habitual ways of relating to them. This provides the opportunity to change these habits if they are unwholesome.

Pranayama is a breathing practice which sensitizes the body and mind to the flow of the life force. It helps one to optimize the functioning of the respiratory process by gradually learning non-interference.

Samyama is the practice of integrating the postural and breath practice with complimentary mind training.

Yoga encourages the development of friendship, understanding, enjoyment and tranquility.
