| Virabhadra Yoga was founded by
Jim Schweitzer, RYT. Jim practices the Iyengar style. Iyengar Yoga is a
form of Hatha Yoga based on giving primacy
to the physical alignment of the body in each posture. While
Iyengar Yoga is not as intensely
cardiovascular as other forms of yoga, it builds strength, stamina, and
flexibility. It is an excellent form of
yoga for people who are new to yoga, and for people who are ill,
elderly, or
overweight. However, it can also be a
very demanding practice for experienced yogis who wish to work on
specific
points of their alignment and deeper versions of asanas.
Students who are meticulous, technical, or
have an interest in anatomy and an appreciation of subtle movements in
the body
may also enjoy an Iyengar-style practice.
Through breath work and final relaxation, which are incorporated into
our
classes,
will leave feeling energized and at the same time, calm and relaxed. |
