You will immediately feel the tangible benefits of yoga on a physical, emotional, mental and energetic level and also learn about hatha yoga, kundalini shakti, prana, chakras, Samkhya philosophy, Patanjali's Raja Yoga, and various other yogas and philosophical teachings that can lead to joyful living. While it would be best to start at the beginning of the term, students can start at any time as the practice will remain suitable for all, beginner and ongoing student alike, and each theoretical topic will stand on its own.
