What Is An "Ananda Yoga" Practice?
Yoga posture practice in Ananda Yoga® is gentle for beginning students, becoming more challenging with experience. It is an inwardly directed practice, and is never aggressive or aerobic.
The primary emphases are:
- Safety and correct alignment
- Being relaxed at all times, even during the midst of effort
- Working directly with the body’s subtle energy via the yoga postures
- Using the postures to raise your consciousness
- Adaptation – modifying each yoga posture to fit the needs and abilities of the practitioner rather than trying to force the practitioner into some “ideal” position
In Ananda Yoga we do not emphasize a picture perfect physical alignment of the body. What we emphasize is the energetic alignment. This helps you tune into the flow of prana keeping in mind individual physical realities and sensitivities.
We encourage our students to practice Ananda Yoga with patience and safety and never push themselves into any posture unless they feel ready to do so. Whatever your age or body type, we can guide you into poses to help you feel relaxed, revitalized and uplifted.
Session Highlights
Ananda Yoga Classes
Ananda Yoga to Awaken the Chakras
Practice yoga postures, pranayama, visualization and other techniques to increase the flow of energy through the chakras, and as a result, to bring positive changes in your attitudes and awareness.
Ananda Yoga To Strengthen Your Aura
Learn how to increase your power to repel illness, accident, and negativity, and attract positive influences. By using yogic tools you can effectively augment your body’s natural healing capabilities.
Yoga to Release Stress & Anxiety
Learn how yoga practice and breathing exercises can help you combat stress and enhance your sense of well-being and happiness. By releasing physical tensions and energy blockages, you will allow more energy to flow to the brain bestowing on it relief, clarity and calmness. Thus, as Yogananda often said, you will learn to be “even-minded and cheerful.”
Restorative Yoga: Opening to Divine Grace
Experience a safe, nurturing, and systematic ‘active relaxation’ which helps you relax and release deep tension with no effort. We recommend you bring your own bed pillow and something to cover yourself (like a big shawl) for deep relaxation. Limited to max. 12 people per session.
Ananda Yoga for Inner Peace
Learn ways to reclaim the peace of your inner being—and stay in peace through all the activities and challenges of modern life. You’ll gain a broad range of effective tools for dynamic yet peaceful living. Discover the secret of staying contented in each moment, even in the midst of difficulties.
