Hari Aum,
The Power of Now - We often think that we need to take ourselves away, to make a difference or create change. We need to be somewhere else, be doing something else, or try to actually be something different to that which we are now. When really you are who you are, where you are NOW. When you empower yourself with ‘now-ness’ you create an awareness in your reality that allows you to make present choices that can have a positive effect on yourself and others – now!
If you have always wanted to LIVE Yoga, now is your chance!
 Ashram Yoga Retreat Centre has got live in one month Intensive courses running in August & November. These courses offer the depth & integrity of our Teacher Training programs with the added bonus of living and integrating yoga into your daily life.
Getting to Know You at Ashram Yoga
 Ashram Yoga is pleased to host new teacher Yogita and her classes starting in July. Here is more on the new face teaching at Ashram Yoga!
Q: What is your background in Yoga? For the past 5 years I have been studying intensely different vidyas from Vedic culture including Hatha Yoga, Vyayam Yoga, Ayurveda and Vedanta. I have been living in Granada, in the South Spain and in Rishikesh, North India under the spiritual guidance of my Guruji, Shrî Swami Shankaratilakananda.
Q: What ‘style’ of Yoga do you teach? I am mainly teaching Hatha Yoga and Vyayam Yoga (the Art of Dynamic Breathing). The word “Vyayam” comes from Sanskrit and means “to tame the inner breath”. It is an ancient Indian technique used by warriors, yogis, dancers and performers, a unique combination of Classical Yoga, Martial Arts and Hindu dance, with a heavy emphasis on breath work to increase and transform energy to obtain greater physical and mental vitality.
Q: Why have you chosen to teach your classes at Ashram Yoga? Ashram Yoga provides a unique space and a wonderful supportive team of Yogis to be able to continue and share the teachings of my Guruji.
Q: Who are your classes most suited to? Everyone. My classes are designed so that all ages, shapes and sizes can attend. No previous experience is required only the desire to learn and yoga mat. Everyone can experience the benefits of Yoga.
Yogita’s New Classes (beginning July)
- Tuesdays: 7:15am – 8:30am, Hatha Yoga
- Wednesdays: 7.15-8.15pm,
- Vyayam (the Art of Dynamic breathing)
Sundays: 4 -5:30pm, Hatha Yoga
