This 6-week course will explore the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (an important text written 2,500 years ago about the practical and philosophical underpinnings of Yoga) within the context of a balanced hatha yoga practice session. Each 90-minute class will be based on one or more sutras (with a different focus each time), coupled with dynamic hatha yoga directed toward providing a basis for understanding how hatha yoga techniques can help bring this ancient wisdom into our everyday lives.

This winter, "en-lighten" your body, mind and spirit with the Gayatri Yoga practice.

Yoga offers a remedy for the reconstruction of our personality. Withdraw the senses from their objective and go within to the middle chamber, the subconscious of psychology. -Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Chama from tokyo-yoga will be coming to teach a special course!

Learn to give and receive simple and effective bodywork to enhance your personal yoga practice, your health and the health of others around you. This workshop is based on the inspirational style of bodywork, ‘Zen Thai Shiatsu’ － bringing freedom to the structural and energetic body through focussed intention and loving kindness (meta). Zen Thai Shiatsu is a blend of techniques, drawing on the arts of Yoga, Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage and Osteopathy.

Yuki Nishioka will be introducing the use of props. Inspired by Iyengar Yoga.

This workshop will elaborate on integration of body dynamics and relaxation. Patrick will address different aspects of the physical practice and how that can manifest into practical life experience. He will introduce a yin style approach to induce a better understanding of how the practice can affect the meridian system and specific organs to enhance physical balance, inside out. He will later combine dynamic vinyasa style sequencing with multiple posture variations for more of a heat intensive, purifying practice. Patrick encourages holding active postures for longer periods to stimulate and promote purification of the cardiovascular system, aiding in complete physical detoxification.
