What is Sivananda Yoga?

Sivananda Yoga is a traditional and meditative practice that follows a structured sequence designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. Rooted in ancient yogic philosophy, this class includes breathwork (pranayama), a set series of twelve foundational postures (asanas), deep relaxation, and meditation. It focuses on harmonising energy, improving flexibility, and cultivating inner peace. This practice is slow, steady, and deeply restorative, making it accessible to all levels and perfect for those who seek a holistic approach to well-being.

Deep Relaxation and Inner Peace

Each session incorporates guided relaxation techniques that help calm the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety. Through a mindful and intentional flow, you’ll experience a profound sense of calm that carries beyond the mat.

Improves Strength and Flexibility

The twelve asanas used in Sivananda Yoga are designed to enhance both physical and energetic balance. Regular practice improves posture, strengthens muscles, and increases flexibility while being gentle on the joints.

Enhances Breath Control and Energy Flow

With a strong emphasis on breathwork, this practice encourages better oxygen flow, increased vitality, and a greater connection between body and mind. The rhythmic breathing techniques help you feel more centred, grounded, and energised.
