The great sages and mystics of India, who studied these matters, found that in deep meditation when their bodies, minds and senses were stilled, they entered a different state. In this state they experienced a union with reality, beyond time and change. Yoga is the search for this union with the essence of life. Asana, Pranayama and Meditation are 3 aspects of the eight folded path of yoga founded by Pantanjali (between 200 – 500 B.C.)</p> <h1>Asana Yoga</h1> <p>Asanas are the physical practise of yoga, opening and strengthening the body through movement and breath. They are "still points" within the flow of sequences leading the practitioner in deeper awareness. It is a meditation in action where you learn to be present in the moment, listening with all your senses and loving attention to your body. In yoga the body becomes a doorway to discover deeper realms of yourself tuning body and mind into a finer vibration. </p> <h1>Pranayama Yoga</h1> <p>The breath brings life, spaciousness and vital energy (prana) into the body. With the practise of Pranayama the yogi/yogini regulates the flow of Prana. It is purifying and strengthening the entire energetic system. Pranayama is essential. It is the practice that connects our inner energy with the universal flow of energy.</p> <h1>Vijnana Yoga</h1> <p>Was developed by my teacher Orit Sen Gupta, and is a form of Hatha yoga. It works with the following elements: Inner presence Before each practise there is a sitting Meditation letting the mind settle into stillness. This quality of consciousness is essential for the practise of Asana’s and Pranyama. Feeling the body from the inside Becoming more sensitive for the small movements, the place where it all starts from. Feeling carefully into the small shifts of weight. Connecting with the alignment of the bone structure which brings us the closest to the centre of the body. Then it is possible to relax the outer body. As we start to find the connection within we become able to move with greater lightness and poise.</p> </div>
