CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

 

CLASSICAL HATHA YOGA - This class consists of basic Hatha Yoga postures, pranayama, philosophy, chanting, and meditation. The Hatha Yoga focus is on developing a strong foundation, through precise alignment and form.  This class builds energy in the spinal column and cleanses the body’s energetic pathways through a set sequence of yoga postures performed in combination with certain guided breathing techniques. In class, Urja draws attention to Yamas and Niyamas as an important part of building and maintaining prana (vital life energy) built in the practice.

DIRGHA MEDITATION - Dirgha Meditation is more than just a relaxation technique. It is a unique combination of focused concentration and deep relaxation which taps into the original source of your power. It dramatically calms the mind and takes you to the alpha and theta states of consciousness where you gain direct access to the healing abilities of your own prana (vital life energy). The class includes anuloma viloma pranayama, dirgha breathing, concentration, and mantra chanting. The individual will also learn how to set intentions for positive changes in their lives, minimize tension, relax and train the mind, clear up the unconscious, awaken creativity, enhance memory and learning capacity, counteract stress, promote willpower, and free the prana. In class, Urja draws attention to Yamas and Niyamas as an important part of building and maintaining prana (vital life energy) built in the practice.
