An integrated practice that links Buddhist inquiry with the bodymind. It is an excellent for beginners or as an adjunct to an already established Yoga or Meditation practice, as well as having an inherent integrity as a practice in and of itself. Kum Nye cultivates the environment for meditation to arise effortlessly and organically the result of which is the establishment of an embodied presence: physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically, thereby connecting oneself to the community and the environment at large. It is hard to describe so best just to come along and see if it might be the practice for you! All levels are welcome.
Satyananda Yoga was devised by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and his lineage. It is a meditative approach to yoga emphasising the spiritual aspects of yoga and the importance of developing awareness through the use of these classical practices. It offers a systematic way of studying yoga that ensures students develop a firm foundation in their practice from where they can advance safely. It is gentle when compared with the more dynamic styles that have recently become popular, and consequently lends itself much better to the therapeutic application of these practices to the chronic ailments that so many suffer from.
It also takes a broader outlook by encouraging students to take these practices off the mat and integrate them into their lives and so become more resilient to the turbulence caused by modern life. Satyananda Yoga brings together Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga to form a comprehensive approach to personal development and spiritual life to enable everyone to realise their potential and live life to the full.
Through yin yoga, organic movement & stillness, may we inspire the emergence of spring in our cells as we drop deeply into the rich and fertile soil within. Imagining the breath as our compass, we will navigate the ever-changing inner landscapes of our bodies.
Yin Yoga is a unique & powerful practice that targets the deep connective tissues; bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. We hold the poses for a longer period of time to stimulate these tissues in a passive, yin like way. Yin yoga allows us to drop deeply into our embodied awareness and offers us time & space to listen to what is unfolding in the moment.
