namaskaram in the new year!

hope it will be one filled with light, love and laughter. a year in which your spirits will be bright and merry and your heart & soul at peace. a year in which you'll show as much love, compassion and gratitude as you will receive.

from 13 january 2010 i'm teaching a new THERAPEUTIC YOGA class at prague yoga (wednesday 19.30 - 21.00). that's right, when you've got to start something new, start on the 13th :) gotta love auspicious days ;)

suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners of yoga, the class explores the main principles of mindful movement and breathing. the aim is to develop strength, flexibility and stability in and through yoga poses and simple sequences. leading students to greater awareness and promoting self-enquiry, the class cultivates ease in the body and mind.

THERAPEUTIC YOGA focuses on the fundamentals of structural alignment to promote healthy functioning of the body systems, particularly the spine, large joints, the core and deep, postural muscles. in this class, students are quided to learn healthy movement and breathing patterns and unlearn the ones that do them disservice - both on and off the yoga mat. the class will also include suggestions for personalised home practice, basic ayurvedic recommendations, pranayama (breathing practices) and meditation.

february will bring a couple more changes to my schedule and i'll soon let you know about those as well.

happy new year and may we always be mindful of the highest from which we draw inspiration to sustain our lives and keep steady our purposes.
