Ayama Yoga Classes for adults and the general public are geared
towards balancing all layers of the individual, and so that the
individual can live healthily in balance with other individuals and
its surroundings in a constant effort of transcendence.
At the
PHYSICAL level, our classes help increase strength, balance and
flexibility. Increasing heat elongates healthy tissues and help
release adhesions and scar tissue. Classes provide most efficient
training of the main muscle groups, as well as to develop tendon and
ligament strength. In addition, increased mobility through all ranges
of motion promotes healthier joints.
At the
PHYSIOLOGICAL
level, our classes increase the amount of Prana (life force) to the
oxygen, oxygen to the blood, and blood and nourishment to our entire
anatomical, physiological and energetic systems. Classes also
improve all metabolic processes as they stimulate energy, oxygen and blood flow to the extremities or
peripheral systems, which represent a concern as important as the
central systems;
in this way facilitating
detoxification and renewal of the organic body.
At the
ENERGETIC
level, classes promote energy flow and
comprehensive opening, flushing and cleansing of the energy channels
and energy centers located throughout the body (meridians and
acupressure points, chakras and marmas) from polluting substances.
At the
MENTAL / EMOTIONAL level, our classes propose a conscious connection of the attention to
the breath, inviting a state of dynamic meditation, as we calm and
stabilize our thoughts and emotions,
as we develop focus, and as we learn to hold one-pointed attention.
At the
SPIRITUAL
level, classes promote the expansion of our consciousness as we tune
all rhythms of the body into the rhythm of our breath, and the
rhythm of our breath to the rhythm of a greater Divine will. As we
do this we start transcending our Karma and evolving spiritually.
We could go on and on explaining the underlying processes behind
what we do, but more important than this is to actually develop a
steady practice as the root of all these and other beneficial
possibilities.
