The open drop-in classes are for all levels of student. The teachers present a class that is both challenging to experienced practitioners and accessible to newcomers. Each teacher has their own style informed by their individual educations in Yoga practice, so it is best to just come and try the different classes to see which one best suits your needs and requirements.
An integrated practice that links Buddhist inquiry with the bodymind. It is an excellent 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.
