Kriya Yoga for those who are looking for a daily practice to strengthen and relax the body 

Kri – action, ya – awareness.

Babaji”s Kriya Hatha Yoga is the scientific art of mastering the physical body, developed by the great Himalayan master Babaji Nagaraj. He selected 18 postures to cover all of the parts of the body effectively and efficiently. Kriya Yoga contains classical asanas like sun salutation, shoulder stand, fish, cobra, triangle, etc. to prepare the physical body for higher stages of concentration and meditation. Each pose begins and ends by standing in stillness, with a period of deep relaxation (follows each one of them) to allow the body to heal itself. The postures are non-competitive and done in stages, enabling practitioners of all ages to work at their own level of flexibility and comfort.

Regular practice of the 18 postures with the kriyas (repetitive micro-movements), can deeply massage and cleanse the physical body, as well the energy pathways. Kriya Yoga brings strength, emotional stability and mental clarity. It can eliminate stress and poor health from one’s life.

Kundalini Yoga for high energy people and for those who would like to have higher energy

Kundalini Yoga is one of the most powerful and effective form of yoga; is the awakening of the unlimited potential that already exists in each one of us. It incorporates the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of yoga into a dynamic, powerful practice which promotes health, happiness and spiritual awareness.

The ancient system of Kundalini Yoga combines held and moving postures coordinated with strong breathing patterns, sound and meditation to work on every aspect of our being.

Benefits:

-         increases the effectiveness of the muscular, glandular, circulatory and nervous system;

-         promotes emotional and mental balance;

-         helps to eliminate negative habit patterns;

-         supports a general sensation of well being and relaxation.

Kundalini Yoga is an antidote to our stressful and sedentary lifestyle, the emphasis is on experience and focus rather than being able to make a pretzel from our bodies. The exercises are vigorous but easy to do or can be modified to fit your specific needs and capabilities. No previous experience necessary in yoga or other disciplines to achieve immediate benefits. 

“Kundalini Yoga meets you where you are, and takes you to your potential.”

(Shakta Kaur Khalsa)

Shakti Power is new to the YogaRoom. It is based on a book, Aviva's Method  by Hungarian Livia Toth. The book documents success stories of women who have used these movement techniques to empower their feminine nature. In Hinduism Shakti is the Divine Mother who represents the active, dynamic principles of feminine power. If you are experiencing irregularities or pain in your menstrual cycle, are beset by menopausal symptoms, have excess weight but are not overeating, or are trying to get pregnant (and have no medical reason for infertility), you should consider this series of energetic dance like movement accompanied with music. It is recommended that you do not bathe for 36 hours after class and keep warm during this time. Open to All Levels.

Slow Yoga inspired by the teaching of Diane Long (www.dianelongyoga.com) who studied with Vanda Scaravelli for more than twenty years. Slowing down by challenging our restlessness we'll gain balance in our life. In this class we focus on "undoing", rather than "performing". We'll take about  3 or 4 asanas (poses) and consciously release tension to discover a different way of moving into a pose, rather than by use of force or will. Open to All Levels.
