Integral Yoga

Integral yoga combines all the paths of yoga asana (postures), pranayama (controlled breathing), selfless service, prayer, chanting, meditation and selfinquiry into one approach. It emphasizes a more meditative rather than anatomical approach. Practicers of this style of yoga are encouraged to be easeful in body, peaceful in mind and useful in life. Integral yoga classes follow a set pattern and are 75 minutes in length. This includes 45 minutes of asanas, a deep relaxation, a breathing sequence and ends with a meditation. Although challenging, the feeling of the class is gentle and meditative and reflects a traditional approach that benefits all aspects of the individual.
