AMRIT YOGA

Peggy5w.JPGHi I'm Peggy and I'm pleased to share with you an understanding of Amrit Yoga. The Integrative Amrit Method IAM has been developed by world-renowned Yogi Master Gurudev Amrit Desai who is from Gujarat, India and brought the real yoga to the west over 50 years ago. Gurudev founded Kripalu Yoga and has trained teachers throughout the world. The Amrit Method is a further refinement of the Kripalu ancient yogic practices and has been made even more accessible to even first-time practitioners.
Peggy4w.JPGAmrit Yoga, known as the Posture of Consciousness, is a metaphor for life. It's not about flexibility or exercise (although both may be benefits) but it's the authentic yoga for learning how to accept yourself as you are and how to be present with what is. It teaches how to dismantle reactive behaviors that make life a stressful struggle. It is an empowering program combining Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga-- active postures/asanas with dynamic stillness. You learn the real yoga which is "union" and when you integrate mind, body, heart and spirit you enter the "zone."   In this "zero stress zone" your life can be transformed into a joyful, effortless flow that restores your well being and improves your health.Each session may be from 60 to 90 minutes. Special l Sports Yoga Workshops are also available which may be longer. You'll experience postures (Asanas), yogic breathing (Pranayamas) and meditation. All levels and all yoga experiences are welcome. (If you're coming to a class, you'll need a yoga mat and an open mind and heart. Wear confortable clothes. No yoga experience necessary.)
