Ha-tha yoga is practice based around the five techniques of Asana (posture), Vinyasa (moving with the breath), Pranayama (unhindered breathing), Bandha (energetic alignment) and Drushti (awareness).
These correspond with the five elements: earth to posture; water to 'moving with the breath'; fire to the internal energetic alignment of bandha; air to breathing freely; space/ether to awareness, the overall context in which hathayoga is practised.
I emphasize different rhythms and dynamics in my yoga practice; the Ha (yang) and tha (yin) of yoga. My Yang (ha) yoga is flowing, playful and precise; light, strengthening and invigorating.
Yin Yoga emphasizes stillness, release and awareness. Postures are held longer and without effort.
Classes are presented as a sequence of postures woven together upon the breath. Different aspects of yoga method will be emphasised over the course of classes.
All classes end with a period of relaxation in Savasana (posture of relaxation).
