Shivananda Yoga
What is Shivananda Yoga?
Shivananda yoga, after teachings of Swami Shivananda, is an integral form of hatha yoga in which the training focuses on preserving the health and wellness of the practitioner. Shivananda Yoga teachers are all graduates of the Shivananda Yoga Teacher Training Course and students widely range in age and degrees of ability.
Unlike Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga´s more athletic program involving Bandhas, Shivananda training revolves around frequent relaxation, and emphasizes full, yogic breathing.
The Shivananda training system aims to retain the vitality of the body and decrease chance of disease, by simply and naturally cultivating the body. The system philosophies are summarized in 5 principles:
• Proper exercise: Asana
• Proper breathing: Pranayama
• Proper relaxation: Savasana
• Proper diet: Vegetarian
• Positive thinking and meditation: Vedanta and Dhyana
