Class description

In this class, you will be practicing the principles of Hatha yoga with Ayurveda, which focuses on  Asanas (physical postures), Pranayama (breath control), Shatkarmas (purifications) and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. 
Our yoga class will have three phases, 
Phase 1: Activation -20 min 
Start with Asanas for stretching the entire body. This helps to activate every joint  and muscle tissues. This stimulates the Synovial fluids in the joints. It also  increases the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles to improve flexibility.
Phase 2: Strengthening and Balance - 30 min 
Asanas focus on uniting the body and mind by control and coordination of subtle forces in the body. Every posture has its independent physical benefits to  improve the lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, nervous and the endocrine systems.  You will learn each posture and its technique in detail along with its benefits.
Phase 3: Breathing and Relaxation - 20 min 
Pranayama will be practiced with Alternate Nostril breathing technique. This helps  to cleanse and open the nadis. Nadis are the subtle channels that carry Prana or life  force through the field of the mind.  

 Chandra Vikraman has been living in the valley for over 20 years and is a dedicated follower of Yoga.

His teaching style is traditional and flows from his experience at the Yog Sadhan Ashram in India. He learned and developed his passion for Yoga, specializing in teaching asanas, pranayama, meditation, and various other categories of Yoga.

His personal practice is informed by the 21 years that he has followed the principles of yoga. He has chosen to follow a specific path called Hatha Yoga which derives from the Sanskrit word हठ haṭha meaning “force” and involves a multitude of physical techniques. The teachings that Chandra will provide are applicable to beginners and even advanced students.

Chandra started his yoga journey in 2000 and began teaching shortly thereafter.

He is an IT professional, and, as such, he understands the stresses that the corporate life brings, and wants to help alleviate those issues.  During these unprecedent times  we can use family Yoga to teach us  relaxation and a sense of connection within the family.
