Integral to Ashtanga Vinyasa: Bandas (energy locks to develop true strength
and support), Ujjayi Breath (a focused breathing that regulates body temperature
and balances the system) and Dristi (focusing the eyes-moving from an outerspace
to an innerspace).
A refreshing blend of kundalini and hatha-based yoga to build physical
vitality and increase consciousness. This multilievel class will focus on
dynamic pranayama (breathwork); asana (a wide variety of flowing and static
postures to build strenth, increase flexibility and cleanse and calm body
and mind); intention setting, meditation and mantra. Energize and relax with
beautiful music. A wonderful way to expand your yogic foundation and compliment
your other yoga mala classes. Everyone welcome.
This class is grounded in Moksha Yoga*. Moksha is translated from Sanskrit
as freedom. Freedom is the quality that allows the Moksha series to change
and to evolve based on the needs of the students. Students are guided through
a series of postures designed to free the lower back, hips, knees, shoulders,
and neck. In this process, the body is strengthened, toned, and opened, while
the mind becomes still.
* Moksha Yoga is practiced in a heated studio.
We will practice without heat at Yoga Mala!
