Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga, developed by BKS Iyengar, who has worked extensively on the therapeutic effects of yoga and is recognised throughout the world by all schools of yoga. He focuses on the structural alignment of the physical body through the development of postures (asanas) and through the practice of this system of asanas, aims to unite the body, mind and spirit for health and well being. Iyengar Yoga is a powerful tool to help you relieve the stresses of modern-day life which in turn can help promote your total physical and spiritual well being.
Hatha Yoga is the foundation of many other methods of yoga. A practical and timeless science, Hatha Yoga is profoundly effective in easing the stresses of modern living. The combination of thoughtfully designed postures (asanas), breathwork and relaxation helps you to sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Vinyasa is also called flow yoga because it directly focuses on "breath-synchronized movement." What this means is your yoga instructor will teach you to move from one posture or pose to the next and inhale or exhale while completing the transition as well as the movements themselves.
Meditation can be practiced on its own, or as an excellent support for yoga. It is a skill that is easily learnt and gives you instant benefits physically, mentally, and spritually. Further benefits accrue from regular practice. There are thousands of meditation techniques in practice today, but the two, "Mindfulness of Breathing" and "Metta Bhavana" taught at Bridge Yoga Studio have been chosen because they are easy to learn and form an essential foundation for more specific techniques. Both can easily be practiced in the day to day world.
