Eight Limbs yoga

This longer class 11am-1pm each Sunday will allow students time to explore a full yoga practice.

The theme of these classes will be the eight limbs of yoga. According to the Yoga Sutras the eight limbs outline the full practice of yoga to reach obtain the state of Samadhi (Nirvana). Asana or physical practice is the main focus of many yoga classes, but this is only one small aspect of Yogic practice.

In this two-hour class students will get to explore their asana practice as well as the other seven limbs. Time in this class will be dedicated each week to the practice of meditation Dharana as well as some of the deeper asana that shorter classes do not get to focus on.

Booking for this class is essential as class size is limited.

Kundalini Yoga (with a Gong!)

Room Name: About Balance

An uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices, this yoga style incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras, such as Sat nam (“I am truth”).



Using sound, breath and posture, Kundalini Yoga aims to develop spiritual awareness by freeing the serpent power (kundalini) that is coiled in the base of the spine and drawing it upward through the seven chakras, build physical vitality and increase consciousness.



Kundalini Yoga has its roots in the Tantric Yoga tradition, which dates back to the eighth century. It is a yoga for the Aquarian Age, an age where things are speeding and we are trying our best not to. There is a strong focus on rebalancing and replenishing the endocrine (hormonal) system and the nervous system through chanting, movement and breath work. ‘A yoga for the householder’ means every body and everybody is welcome.

Jivamukti Yoga

The Jivamukti method combines vigorous asana practice with a spiritual focus or intention, which is woven throughout the practice. Amrita is inspired to bring yogic teachings into a modern, urban context, to enrich a busy western lifestyle.
