Chingford Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Rocket, Mandala & Yin Yoga

The Ashtanga (8 limbs) Yoga system is designed as a sequence of postures which help to develop incredible strength, endurance and flexibility of the body and a calmness and stillness of the mind. This class will teach the fundamentals of ashtanga yoga, sun salutations, ujjayi breath, awareness and activation of energy locks and vinyasas (a flow of movement with breath) to allow students to feel the full benefits of primary series of ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga’s intensity can also invoke positive life transformations off the mat, helping you to live fully, with a deep sense of Self and positive awareness in your daily life. Rocket Yoga uses a mix of the primary and secondary sequence from Ashtanga to create a dynamic session linking movement with breath with a faster flow including inversions and balances.

The intention of the Mandala Vinyasa practice is to honour the creative energy in all its manifestations, and to integrate the spiral patterns that nature uses to shape and create all the material and energetic substances in our bodies.  It opens us into deeper introspection as we move around the mat, whilst also exploring circular movements with our bodies, arriving into places that perhaps our awareness would not have access to by just following a linear pattern.
