| Soul Train Yoga - Asana (Postures) Philosophy Yoga should be accessible to everyone. Postures should be dynamic enough to cater to each individuals body type and condition. There is a standard version of the pose that we're aiming for but we will all experience that pose differently; due to our proportions, flexibilities and mental/emotional condition. We need to work with what we have and make adjustments according to where we are. We need to reach out of the box of what's the "right way", because what is the right way for one, may not be the right way for another. That's the beauty of yoga, we can all be working to our own level but together in the class. Teaching Style: Hatha Based on Hatha Yoga, Soul Train Yoga classes are strong classes that incorporate meditation, pranayama (breathwork), yoga philosophy and an understanding of anatomy & physiology into the practice. Each class has a different theme as we work to balance the body and mind. During the classes we focus equally on creating strength and space in the body and mind. There is a strong focus on alignment and students are encouraged to explore each pose. All of the postures are introduced as new, then the more advanced students are instructed into the extended versions of the pose. The classes intend to leave you feeling strong, centered and re-energised.
