Style
Sivananda Yoga
Sivananda Yoga is the style of hatha yoga within the lineage of Sivananda Saraswati. It is for the student seeking inner tranquility and centeredness. In a Sivananda class, we start with conscious breathing exercises to tune inward then the sun salutation, a cardio-vascular exercise, to warm up. This is followed by 12 core postures to channel and concentrate vital energy. A guided relaxation is done at the end and brings about the overall sense of harmony and well-being one feels after class. Regardless of whether a student comes into class tired or stressed, the balanced nature of the Sivananda sequence renders the student calm and lucid. More details

Fredric has been teaching yoga for 30 years and has been co-director of Centre de Yoga - La Source since 1995. He started yoga in 1987 and took the Sivananda teachers training in 1990. Due to his own back injuries before yoga, he developed a sequence of yoga variations that form the cornerstone of his popular lower back yoga program. In 2006, he organized and completed a 4-year 500-hour teacher training program in the Nidrā Yoga of Kashmir Shaivism with André Riehl which was completed in 2010.

Entrance System
BEFORE CLASS
Please pass through the lobby of the Coque to the back left of the building to meet Fredric by the entrance turnstiles at least 10 minutes before class. He has a card to swipe you in. If he is no longer there when you arrive, go to reception, give your name, and get a ticket to pass through the turnstile. If you participate "per-class", make sure La Source has your name on the list, or the receptionist will not give you a ticket.
AFTER CLASS
Fredric will be by the turnstiles to let everyone out. If you need to leave class early or if you are still in the changing room when Fredric departs, you can use the phone on the wall near the exit to call security at 290 to be buzzed out.
MATS
There are relatively new mats to borrow in the room. If you have your own, you might prefer to bring it.

At registration, we require term payment to guarantee your place. You may cancel after the first class according to our term cancellation policy.
