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: Miguel Mendes
Miguel started practicing yoga postures in 2009 as a complement to martial arts training. The benefits to the physical body and pacification of the mind soon led to a higher perception of yoga as a holistic discipline for inner peace, harmony with the world and self-realization. For the past years, he has been deepening Raja Yoga studies and practices with Denise Pesch, Fredric Bender, the guest teachers of La Source, and with the teachers of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers (ISYVC). In 2016, he completed the 300-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training organised by La Source, and in 2018, the Advanced Teachers Training Course by the ISYVC (RYT-500). He understands Yoga as a pathway toward liberation based on selfless service, dispassionate affection, intuitive knowledge and the realization of higher truths. He believes the greatest joy is sharing it with others.
