Sivananda Yoga Class during Christmas Break

Thursday 19 december 18:30 - 20:00

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: Rui Wang

Rui's yoga journey began in the early 2010s while living in Canada through the Sivananda tradition. What started as a physical exercise soon became something much deeper. Over time, she realized that yoga is not simply a physical movement but a way of living and being. With over a decade of personal practice and eight years of teaching experience, she brings a grounded yet evolving approach to yoga. While it is a deep personal experience, a quiet return to oneself, she believes yoga is for everyone, no matter one's level or background. In her words, "Each class is an opportunity to move with intention, breathe with consciousness, and come home into one's body and mind." Go to Rui's page.
