SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
Yoga & Pranayama:
Yoga and Meditation 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.
Yoga for Emotional Strength
Emotional tensions often manifest as energy blockages and physical tensions in our body. Release such tensions through asana practice, and be always “even-minded and cheerful” as Yogananda often said.
Restorative Yoga for Deep Release / for Stress Relief
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.
Chair Yoga for a Healthy Spine
Chair yoga is a seated practice on the chair which can make yoga accessible to many more people especially seniors and those who work in office long hours. Chair Yoga has all the components of a regular Ananda Yoga class—pranayama, warm-ups, asanas and meditation.
