YOGA STYLES

At Yoga Vogue we teach many styles of Yoga but also related Mind, Body Spirit Subjects. For more information on any of the subjects listed below contact the Centre.

Our specialities in Yoga include the following:

HATHA YOGA

Hatha Yoga is designed to strengthen the body and is an enjoyable branch of Yoga to practice and to incorporate into your lifestyle.

Designed for contemporary living Hatha Yoga is accessible to all persons and of all ages. It is a very popular Yoga known for its smooth and easy flow between postures. It is based on the clarifying the unity of the five techniques, posture, flow, body breath and focus.

Each of these is an expression one of the five natural elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space.

The key to effective Yoga is relaxation and the release from tension, Hatha Yoga achieves this through a series of postures. The aim of all Yoga is to bring a deeper awareness to the individual and to bridge the gap between the finite and infinite.

MALIK-LAYA YOGA

Combines physical asanas from both Kundalini and Hatha Yoga and exercises for the mind (Laya-Yoga), this style of Yoga fuses ancient techniques with contemporary living.

Classes are suitable for all ages and are specifically tailored to your requirements. At the initial consultation you are asked what you hope to achieve and we plan out your weekly schedule.
 

KUNDALINI YOGA

Passed through word of mouth, this Yoga has been jealously guarded for centuries. It has the power to transform the consciousness of the individual. Consequently, it is essential that those that are entrusted with this 'knowledge' do not abuse it.

In essence Kundalini means energy. Various symbolisms are used to describe it; the most popular is the use of the snake.

Students are taught to awaken the energy (that lies at the base of one's spine) and through use of various exercises to push it upwards through key energy centres in the body.

Ancient Yogis identified seven major energy centres in the body. These are known as 'Chakras' in the Sanskrit language.

Each Chakra is specifically related to certain human qualities and emotions. As the energy moves upwards through the Chakras the individual will acquire new talents.

 

MEDITATION

Meditation is a methodology that is used to cleanse and purify the mind and to enhance its working.

There are many varieties of meditative practice and each is unique. All major schools and spiritual traditions place great emphasis on the importance of meditative practice.

We offer classes covering the many rich and differing varieties of meditative practice.

YOGA FOR CHILDREN

Yoga for children is a special class curriculum especially designed for children of all ages. and is taught at The International Yoga Centre.

The exercises strengthen physical agility, mobility and mental concentration skills. Children learn to communicate more effectively, confidently and overcome sleep and related disorders.

In children's Yoga we combine simple physical postures and exercise movements with breathing. We also use music, dance, positive affirmation, story telling and art to enhance the potentialities that lie within.

For more information contact the centre on our class schedule and availability of courses.

NETI YOGA

This yoga is one of our specialties. Concentration is given to detoxification and purification methods to cleanse the mind-body-spirit to get you looking fit, healthy, refreshed.

Students learn the core cleansing techniques to help psychic energy flow but also work with the physical body and mind to prepare it for the practice of yoga.

The cleansing exercises of yoga are centuries old. The ancient classical texts speak of the psychic talents that can be harnessed if the techniques from this branch of yoga are performed correctly and regularly.

Many of the techniques are difficult to perform, hence it is not as well known in the United Kingdom. Under the direct guidance of trained practitioners we will teach you the techniques.
