Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul.

In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul.

This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul.

A new way to enjoy yoga! No yoga mat required, just jump in the pool and enjoy a low-impact set of different aqua yoga poses – asanas – that develops flexibility, breathing, balance and core strength. Like regular yoga classes, relaxation poses are used to warm up and cool down.

Classes are especially suited for those who benefit from the buoyancy and the easy resistance of the water. Aqua yoga is recommended for pregnant women, senior citizens, as rehabilitative exercise, or for anyone who wants to enjoy a fun new way to enjoy yoga.

This class is based on the Ashtanga system of yoga and  consists of a dynamic and challenging sequence of postures that flow one after the other, much like a dance.

The process produces an intense internal heat and purifying sweat that detoxifies the muscles and organs of the body, resulting in a balanced, calm and lucid mind and a health that permeates all aspects of the being. You will breathe, flow, sweat and glow connecting mind and body.
