Class Overview

This 90-minute basic Sivananda yoga class includes the following balanced sequence: an initial relaxation period, breathing exercises, sun salutations, a series of twelve basic postures (plus variations, depending of the level of the class), and a final deep relaxation.The yoga postures (asanas) and the breathing exercises (pranayama) are meditative and serve to harmonize the body, the mind and the intellect. This aids in releasing tension, stimulating blood circulation and promoting the proper function of the internal organs for total-body health. Alternating focus on movement, breath and conscious relaxation brings awareness within, and encourages calmness—a real experience of ancient yoga that will bring you a sense of wellbeing.
