IntroductionFree introduction each month. Contact us for more information Yoga Yoga means ‘union’ in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language, and is an Indian tradition and practice that has been transferred from Gurus to students through thousands of years. It is a philosophy, a life style, an art form and an individual practice stimulating inner organs and mind. Yoga is not about forceful stretching and high pulsation, but rather about learning how to listen to the body carefully and thus increase flexibility and strength. The subtle aim of yoga is to form a higher consciousness, an inner silence and enlightenment - for this, the physical part of yoga is highly instrumental. Yoga is a unique tool to get in contact with your personal inhibitions – physical as well as mental. Yoga is found in many shapes and varieties all over the world. Most types of yoga has, like Santhi Yoga School, roots in the Ashtanga yoga philosophy that derives from Guru Patanjalis description of the eight spiritual limbs of yoga. Thus, Ashtanga yoga is reffering to a spirutual yoga approach and not a name of a physical approach to yoga (as often misunderstood). At Santhi Yoga School, yoga is a practice that goes beyond the physical work of the body and aims to create a peaceful stability and balance in body, mind and soul. Indian tradition In 2003, Govind Radhakrishnan established an indian yoga-and meditation school in Kerala along with a yoga master. Here the teaching was built on a personal relationship between master and student and the knowledge of deep yoga techniques were carefully passed on through individual teaching. Thus, the yoga knowledge and higher meditation techniques have carefully been passed on from master to student through decades. Since 2007 Govind and Anna Marie have been teaching the ancient art of yoga and meditation in Copenhagen. Teaching and individual approach Our teaching is based on the ancient Indian yoga philosophy applied within the frame of contemporary Danish society. Yoga is originally a spiritual and individual process of development, which is why one of our main foci is the practice of meditation (inward concentration and meditation), and pranayama (breathing and energy exercises) along with the practice of asanas (physical postures and exercises). To gain maximum benefits, from yoga, individual programmes are made according to the body structure and personality of each student. Giftcard The introduction period can also by given as a gift card.
