Amrit Yoga, known as the Posture of Consciousness, is a metaphor for life. It's not about flexibility or exercise (although both may be benefits) but it's the authentic yoga for learning how to accept yourself as you are and how to be present with what is. It teaches how to dismantle reactive behaviors that make life a stressful struggle. It is an empowering program combining Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga-- active postures/asanas with dynamic stillness. You learn the real yoga which is "union" and when you integrate mind, body, heart and spirit you enter the "zone." In this "zero stress zone" your life can be transformed into a joyful, effortless flow that restores your well being and improves your health.Each session may be from 60 to 90 minutes. Special l Sports Yoga Workshops are also available which may be longer. You'll experience postures (Asanas), yogic breathing (Pranayamas) and meditation. All levels and all yoga experiences are welcome. (If you're coming to a class, you'll need a yoga mat and an open mind and heart. Wear confortable clothes. No yoga experience necessary.)With regular practice, yoga can have many benefits. Studies have shown the following to occur:
