ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA - first and second series
The classical yoga writings, the Yoga Sutras, were compiled in the second century B.C. by Patanjali, who described yoga as having eight major parts, sometimes referred to as the eight limbs of yoga. The word Ashtanga comes from the words ashta (eight) and anga (limbs).

VINYASA refers to a series of connected movements, performed in sequence. The sequence of warm up postures, Surya Namaskara A and B, are examples of vinyasa, as are the short sequences of movements used to connect one pose to another.

SURYASAKTI YOGA is a unique blend of Ashtanga-Vinyasa (first, second and third series), Iyengar and Shivananda yoga styles.

YOGALATES is a vinyasa practice combined with elements of pilates. It aims to strengthen your body and improve coordination of movements. It's a key element for proper posture and strong and healthy back.

During any practice we do Ujjayi breath, which is a type of pranayama (controlled breathing) in which you breathe in a constant, even rhythm through both nostrils, holding your glottis partially closed. (when you do this right, it sounds a bit like Darth Vador) You should practice Ujjayi breath throughout the entire yoga practice. The word ujjayi means victory.

"All the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."

So wrote our friend Bill Shakespeare
some 400 years ago in one of his most profound
observations on the human condition.

Yet, we often treat this life as if we really are
the people we're playing. Imagine how few troubles
we might have if we remember it's only a role
we are playing. All we need do is play it as best
we can and then gracefully exit the stage.
