Descriptions
November 4th, 2006 by Yoga World Staff
All of our classes aim to restore peace and calm and clarity.
Some of our classes are more physically vigorous than others but they all cleanse the body, calm the mind and soothe the nerves.
Each of our teachers have various degrees of influence from the Iyengar, Ashtanga, Viniyoga, and Anusara traditions.
Additional influences include Ana Forrest, Erich Schiffmann, and Saul David Raye.
There are strands of similarity between all the classes, yet each teacher shares their own authentic expression of yoga.
All classes are considered hatha yoga which has as its basic aim to unite the body (soma) and the mind (psyche) and the seer and the seen.
All teachers are available for private instruction. For more information contact Yoga World at (562) 804-5525 or info@yogaworldstudio.com.
