ASHTANGA VINYASA DROP-IN CLASS
Timings: 05:00 to 06:30 PM
Hatha Yoga is the most common and popular form of the ancient art of yoga, dating back more than 600 years. An ancient art that old must be granted the respect it deserves. Once integrated into your everyday life, Hatha Yoga will help you achieve a natural balance in your mind, body, and soul, leading to a richer, more enlightened approach to life. Many yoga enthusiasts attribute Hatha Yoga to better concentration, higher self-esteem, and healthy digestion.
Hatha derives from the ancient meaning ‘Ha’ for the sun and ‘Tha’ for the moon, insinuating that Hatha will lead to the balance between the solar system.
Astanga Yoga is an athletic yoga style considered by many to be the most advanced of the physical forms. The Astanga practice breaks down its elements to help you progress from beginner to advanced level understanding. The whole practice requires moderate physical fitness and a willingness to work hard. Many people have experienced some form of yoga, but postural alignment details are generally lacking. To practice safely, new students, even though knowledgeable of some yoga, should start initially, minimising the potential risk of injury.
Psychologically, Astanga Yoga develops the attributes of the warrior spirit, balancing strength with compassion and cultivation.
HATHA YOGA DROP-IN CLASS
Timings: 08:30 to 10:00 AM
MEDITATION / PRANAYAMA CLASS
Timings: 06:45 to 07:45 AM
Meditation is a state in which a person can create a deep feeling of peace and calm within themselves. It is a state in which the mind is at ease, the unpleasant things experienced are released, and stress is relieved. In this state, the brain can alter the frequencies upon which it works and achieve relaxation.
The meditation classes at AYM Yoga School are down-to-earth and valuable, and the procedure is easy to learn and carry out. Our meditation class helps you maintain a more positive, peaceful, and creative attitude as you go about your day.

What is Yoga?
Yoga is traditionally defined as a union, a yoking together of mind/body/spirit. It can also be seen as uniting the individual with the one universal energy. Practising specified postures (asanas), conscious breathing, chanting and meditation allows us to discover this union.
Why Practice Yoga?
A regular yoga practice reflects a commitment to your total sense of well-being. Yoga utilises structural and inner body alignment, balanced physical strength and flexibility, mental concentration and attentiveness, and a spiritual awareness of being.
The benefits of yoga extend far beyond the mat, becoming an integral part of life. The peace accompanying the physical and mental challenge of aligning yourself with the postures (asanas) and the profound relaxation that stems from yoga are invaluable tools for managing moments of stress in daily life.

DAILY EXERCISE FOR THE BODY & SOUL
When the breath wanders, the mind is also unsteady. But when the breath is calmed, the mind is still, and the yogi achieves.
WHY TAKE A YOGA CLASS?
Yoga will teach you breathing techniques to prepare you for other exercises. Yoga can also teach breathing to prepare you for other exercises. In yoga classes, students must often learn breathing techniques that help calm the spirit and focus the mind. With these techniques, you can breathe fully, and more oxygen will go to your brain and the body’s other parts. By practising yoga, you can do cardiovascular exercises longer since you will not be so quickly out of breath.
Health Benefits
Emotional benefits
We go beyond the physical in that it helps evoke trust, communication, and a playful vibration. We are composed of energy, and our emotions have the power to heal, just as they can also cause harm when influenced by stress.
Physical benefits
The practice improves blood flow to the brain and circulation in general. Massaging the energy lines on the body has been studied for many years, and we benefit from these studies by implementing them in assisted stretching and massage techniques that open the body like no other.
Learning to trust – Communication skills
Learning healing touch and using our bodies as communication mediums is a more in-depth way to break down barriers than just the spoken word. Trusting another and earning someone’s trust is healing.
Inspiring Community
The sense of community derived through this practice and the circle in which we start and end the lessons is bonding. The circles embody a supportive community, and Synergy intends to create one where we can build bridges through presence for one another through the healing arts.
