Yoga Classes
The Yoga classes are suitable for beginners through to more advanced practitioners of yoga, we do not teach a particular style of yoga to our students. We (Mara & Janardhan) have been influenced by, and studied many different styles of yoga over the past 20 years, which have contributed to our own unique approach, and individual style of teaching.
Our classes are designed around the personal abilities of each individual student to comprehend, absorb, and achieve. Our focus is on empowering our students, providing them with tools, that they can utilize for the rest of their lives. We demonstrate that through the physical practice of the yoga asanas (postures) deeper, more meaningful states of awareness are achieved. One moves through, and past any lingering mental, emotional, or physical blockages, allowing one's own innate sense of wellbeing and harmony to emerge.
The physical postures are used purely as tools to enhance one's own awareness of self. With awareness of self, comes increased self confidence, flexibility, peace, and clarity of mind. The Prema Shanti yoga classes are tailored to suit each individual's needs and ability.
Personal classes and tuition in yoga and meditation in addition to the general classes are available upon request.
Meditation Classes
Guidance and tuition in meditation is available to students who have never meditated before, with simple easy to follow instructions given, we take the mystery out of meditation, and practice silent comfortable sitting meditation.
We vary our meditation practice according to the experience of the participants; we use such techniques as Yoga Nidra. (Yoga meaning union, or one pointed awareness, and Nidra which means sleep. This practice is a yogic relaxation technique using a guided meditation to relax.)The classes include Pranayama (science of breath.) methods, and simple Sanskrit chants to calm and still the mind.
