ChayaYoga - What is it?

ChayaYoga

Learn to prevent and deal with all types of injuries, manage stress and promote health and healing. Develop a deeper understanding of yourself on all levels, and the ability to make clear decisions about your health and well-being.

Chaya’s Yoga classes are traditional and incorporate breath within flowing sequences of asanas (postures), moving in and out of, as well as longer holdings of poses, to deepen focus, concentration and explore the flow of energy within the body and mind. She specializes in modifications for alignment, strength, flexibility, relaxation, and movement without pain, and integrates breathing, meditation, Ayurveda and Yogic Philosophy as a framework for holistic health. A home practice can be created that suits the personal needs and goals of each individual. You may learn how to prevent and deal with all types of injuries, manage stress and promote health and healing, as well as develop a deeper understanding of yourself, lifestyle and environment, and the ability to make clear decisions about your health.

A Yoga class may consist of a huge "tool box" of techniques to create an integrating experience that develops awareness, strength, flexibility, breath and balance, to all the systems of the body and all levels of our being, physical, energetic, emotional intellectual, and bliss-connection to spirit/source.

Chaya teaches Classical Yoga as inspired by studying ancient scriptures, classical texts and with traditional teachers. Her travels to India have provided insight into the culture and tradition from where Yoga and Ayurveda were born and continue to be practiced. She is proud to pass on a practice and way of life that has withstood the test of time and wants to give honor and respect to the ancient teachers who were insightful, generous and instrumental in preserving and translating Yoga into practice for us.
