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, after warming up the joints, we do the sun salutation, a cardio-vascular exercise, to warm up the whole body and awaken vital energy. This is followed by 12 core postures and their variations to channel and concentrate that vital energy. Between each posture, the student relaxes for a short time which allows for the vital energy to be reabsorbed. After the postural sequence, we practice yogic breathing exercises to tune ourselves inward. This is followed by a long guided relaxation and brief seated meditation. This sequence 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 that student calm and lucid. Go to the Sivananda yoga page.
Teacher: Ruth Springham
Ruth came to yoga later in life and is eager to share its myriad benefits with her students - no matter how young or old, supple or unsupple, fit or unfit. Through the practise of Sivananda Yoga, which she has studied with Fredric Bender, she is convinced of its benefits on not only the body, but the mind and the spirit.
In April 2016, I completed the 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha Yoga organised by La Source. I am also interested in Iyengar Yoga and have taken part in workshops by Rachel Lovegrove and Constantinos Giannetakis.
