Pranayama

Mantra chanting

Naturally, chanting produces a state of mind that has a far-reaching effect on your thoughts and behavior. Mantras are believed to hold the power to resonate one's mortal body with the vibrations of the universe. Since every mood you have is associated with vibration, chanting mantras gives you control over them.

• Om chanting
• MahaMrityunjaya mantra
• Gayatri mantra
• Guru Vandana (prayer to Guru)
• Prayer before class and meal

Shatkarma (the six purification methods in Hatha yoga)

Shatkarma is the Sanskrit term for one of the six yogic purification techniques (kriyas) as outlined in the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika". The purpose of these cleansing techniques is to keep the body strong, clean, and healthy. They are said to remove toxins and anything blocking the flow of prana in the body.

Practicing shatkarmas internally purifies the body, which makes pranayama and meditation practice easier by preparing the body to perform these practices without distraction, discomfort, or fatigue. This is a traditional yogic cleansing technique which is very effective and good to remove many illnesses and open the blockages in the body.

• Agni Saar
• Jal Neti
• Ruber Neti
• Sutra Neti

Hatha yoga

Hatha Yoga, which literally means “union through the discipline of force”, is a school of yoga that stresses mastery of the body as a way of attaining a state of spiritual perfection in which the mind is withdrawn from external objects. Hatha yoga has grown in popularity in the West as a form of exercise that develops strength, flexibility, bodily relaxation, and mental concentration, this is the most popular and beneficial yoga style.

Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.

Ashtanga Vinyasa

Ashtanga yoga sometimes referred to as Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, is a style of yoga that was developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and T. Krishnamacharya in the 20th century. They claimed it originated from a system of Hatha yoga described in the ancient text; the "Yoga Korunta". Used in this context, the term, Ashtanga yoga, refers to this particular style of yoga.

Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, flowing style that connects the movement of the body with the breath. The method stresses the importance of the daily practice of a set series of movements. There are six series of Ashtanga yoga sequences, which the student progresses through at their own pace.
