Yoga Awareness offers three types of yoga instruction. ALL NEW STUDENTS, both beginners and advanced, are required to complete five YOGA 1 classes. This prerequisite establishes a teacher / student relationship without interfering with YOGA 2 & 3 students and their practice. YOGA 1 A rejuvenating practice teaching asana technique (siksana) with ‘breath and movement coordination’. This is for both beginner and advanced students to develop an inner relationship with correct posture and spinal alignment. YOGA 2 A dynamic practice (vinyasa krama) focusing on ‘sthiram (attention) and sukham’ (ease), with an introduction to pranayama and meditation. Guided instruction only, students are required to complete five Yoga 1 classes. YOGA 3 A meditative practice using asana, pranayama, chanting of the Yoga Sutra-s and seated meditation to achieve stillness and peacefulness. Available to Yoga 1&2 students.
