Besides the techniques shared during a yoga class, the science of yoga has an ancient history and a rich philosophy which can aid any person in their quest for a happy, peaceful, successful and purposeful life. This course aims to expose students to the incredible depth and breadth of yoga and reminds them how every day can be an opportunity to practice yoga "off the mat".
Yoga classes geared for men (where it's okay if you can't touch your toes) where we will build upon your innate strength, as well as work on mobility and flexibility in those tight regions. Breathing and relaxation will also be included, as a healthy mind is important for all genders.

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideways curve.

Enriching a yoga asana class by weaving philosophy and symbology can be stimulating and educative for both the teacher and the student. It also exposes the students to the incredible depth and breadth of yoga and reminds them that yoga is so much more than just asana.
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras supply us with the ethical guidelines of a yogi who is living a yogic life, a life filled with integrity, honesty, consideration and kindness for all beings. We will explore the first two limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas, as well as other major concepts from the Sutras which are perfect to weave throughout a class. These concepts can be related to how we practice asana and how we can translate it into our daily lives. We will also explore a few concepts from the magnificent text, The Bhagavad Gita.
This workshop will help us to find the blue prints for this life. It will give us a fix on our current position and a clear route home to our inherent nature. Having a more complete, truthful and unclouded understanding of the nature of this birth sets us up to vanquish ripe karma, unfurl an impeccable dharma and remove the unhelpful samskaras of this incarnation.
Who better to lead a course on the devotional and cheeky Hindu deity, Hanuman, than our very own, Hanuman Das (Greg Clarke's spiritual name meaning "Servant of Hanuman").
Hanuman is one of the main characters in the ancient text, The Ramayana, and even one of our yoga asanas is named after Him (Hanumanasana). So, who is this character? How does He relate to our modern lifestyle? And how can He help us live more fully with devotion and love for the divine?
Our attitude affects the way we encounter the day, it affects our karma, our communication and our joy or suffering in each moment. Setting our attitude gives the mind a bedrock intention for how we want to engage in incarnation people.
