Asana

Hatha alignment:

Learn asana postures and variations with alignment based on Iyengar style. Hatha yoga classes focus on the fundamentals of Hatha yoga, the yoga of balance. Through Hatha and alignment, students explore different postures, with a focus on individual poses rather than the flow or movement between them.

Ashtanga vinyasa flow yoga:

Vinyasa flow is characterized by flowing poses and sequences linked to the breath. Through the flowing movement from one pose to the next, the focus is brought to the inhale and the exhale. Classes include the regular linear Ashtanga sequence and more creative expressive vinyasa forms.

Pranayama

All major pranayama as described in Hatha Yoga Pradipika will be taught in detail with correct methods. Raj Yoga Rishikesh teaches pranayama so that students can progress further in meditation practices.

• Nadi Sodhan pranayama
• Kapalbhati and Bhastrika pranayama
• Sun and Moon pranayama
• Sheetkari and Sheetali pranayama
• Bhramri pranayama
• Ujjai pranayama

Meditation and mantra

Students will learn both the philosophy and practical application of a variety of meditation techniques.

Yoga anatomy and physiology

Exam
