Class Content

1: Pratyahara/Awareness: A withdrawal of the senses, this is used for developing awareness as we learn to bring full attention to the body, breath and our thoughts. It is a very important aspect of Yoga, which is required in greater intensity as we progress. We become able to withdraw our awareness from our surroundings and turn our attention to the inner workings of the mind, at will.

2: Kriya/Cleansing breaths: This form of breathing is a way of releasing impurities and acidity from the body, as well as encouraging a balanced metabolic rate. It also assists in letting go of stress and emotional blockages.

3: Asanas/Postures: The Satyamvidya system is very gentle and therapeutic. The postures are modified to suit individual ability and gradually progressed. Individual sessions of Yoga Therapy are recommended for personal needs.

4: Pranayama: With the breath flows Prana; this means “vital life force”. It is directed through the physical pathways in specific patterns and channeled through more and more subtle nadies, not unlike meridians, in order to create positive change in the physical, mental and emotional layers of consciousness. In Satyamvidya Yoga, the practices of Pranayama are often synchronized with the physical postures and are used as a prelude to meditation.

5: Relaxation: Yoga has become one of the most successful ways of dealing with stress. This is largely due to the deep and powerful relaxation techniques, which involve not only the de-tensing of the body, but also the slowing of the breath and calming of the mind. Clinical trials have shown that 45 minutes of deep relaxation will lower the metabolic rate to the equivalent of 5 hours sleep.

6: Visualisation: By using our senses inwardly, we are able to enter into an experience of “conscious dreaming”. We access the intuitive knowledge of the subconscious and, with practice, also the unconscious and super conscious levels of mind. It can bring about a deep sense of relaxation, help us to see life more positively and change our attitudes, as we are guided through wonderful landscapes and images, releasing tension and stress along the way.

7: Mantra: As the classes progress, we introduce mantra, the chanting of single seed sounds (beeja) or a combination of sounds. It is one of the very successful ways in which Yoga is able to enhance and profoundly affect all physical matter, as well as thought patterns and emotions.
