Hatha Yoga - Akhanda Style

This winter, join me on Monday evenings at SHY Practice for a traditional Hatha yoga class - Akhanda style.

Akhanda Yoga, founded by master Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu, is a holistic and integrated approach to yoga that emphasizes a balanced practice. The word Akhanda means “whole” or “indivisible,” reflecting the comprehensive nature of this style, which incorporates all aspects of yoga into one class: asana (posture), pranayama (breathing techniques), mantra (chanting), meditation, and philosophy.

Akhanda Yoga is designed to provide practitioners with a well-rounded experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Each class follows a specific theme and flows through a combination of:

● Philosophical teachings: Yogic wisdom integrated throughout the practice to inspire self-reflection and personal growth.

● Mantra: The use of sound to create a focused and meditative atmosphere.
● Asanas: A balanced selection of postures that strengthen, stretch, and align the body.

● Pranayama: Breathwork practices to calm and energize the mind.
● Meditation: Practices that encourage mindfulness and inner stillness.

This integrative approach makes Akhanda Yoga unique in its ability to bring about physical vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. Expect a balanced practice, combining breathwork, movement, meditation, and relaxation.

Open to all levels of practice, variations will be offered.

What to bring:

★ Yoga mat - if you don't have a mat, there will be enough at the studio ★ Water bottle
★ Comfortable clothes to move in
★ A shawl for meditation (optional)
