About Sivananda Yoga
Sivananda yoga is a traditional form of Hatha yoga founded by Swami Sivananda.
Swami Sivananda is a great saint of modern India. After a successful career as a medical doctor, he renounced the world, practised intense meditation and attained self-realisation. Swami Sivananda is known for being one of the first yogis to translate ancient yoga scriptures into English. He authored more than 200 books, writing many by hand.. He summarised the essence of his teachings as “Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise.” Swami Sivananda was the founder of the Divine Life Society Ashram in Rishikesh, Himalayas.
What to expect in class
An Open Class is a traditional, slow paced, meditative class that helps encourage proper breathing, flexibility, strength and vitality in the body while calming the mind. Because Yoga is a spiritual system with a physical component, this non-competitive approach helps the practitioner gain much more than just a healthy body.
A typical open level class includes pranayama (breathing exercises), warm-ups including Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar), Asanas (postures) and deep relaxation.. The asanas follow an order that allows for the systematic movement of every major part of the body in a balanced way that enhances prana or life force energy, keeping the mind quiet and without the need to think beyond each individual posture.
When practiced regularly, the yoga postures, relaxation and breathing can help us to develop on many levels, improving strength, balance, flexibility, concentration, confidence, sensitivity, as well as general health, well-being and peace of mind.
When it comes right down to it, yoga is good for you!
