Shatkarmas, or “six actions,” are a set of cleansing techniques practiced in yoga to purify the body and mind.
During a yoga class, these practices are typically introduced at the beginning to prepare the practitioner for deeper postures and meditation. The six techniques focus on detoxifying the body by removing impurities from the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems.
They include practices such as Neti (nasal cleansing), Dhauti (stomach cleansing), Basti (colon cleansing), and Kapalbhati (breathing exercises). These practices are designed to enhance vitality, balance, and focus, promoting overall well-being and allowing for a more mindful and effective yoga practice.
Shatkarmas are often taught under the guidance of an experienced instructor, as they require precision and understanding to be performed safely.
Mysore Ashtanga refers to a traditional style of Ashtanga Yoga practiced in a group setting but with an individualized approach.
In a Mysore class, students practice the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace, with guidance from the teacher who offers personalized adjustments, corrections, and support.
This method allows students to learn and internalize the practice over time, developing a deeper connection with their breath, body, and the flow of movement. Unlike a led class where everyone follows the same pace, Mysore offers a more self-directed experience, encouraging self-discipline, focus, and personal growth.
The teacher’s role is to observe, offer hands-on adjustments, and provide assistance as needed, creating a supportive environment for students to progress in their practice while honoring their unique abilities and limitations.
Prana – breath, Yama – control – in accordance with the great yogis, breath equals to energy flow.
Every morning will begin with pranayama classes, where you will have the chance to get grounded, look inwards and set intention and energy for the day ahead. You will practice your breath and gain conscious awareness of your body.
In this class you will learn and practice:
Yogic breathing
Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)
Bhramari (humming bee breath)
Ujjayi (the psychic or victorious breath)
Bhastrika (bellows breath)
Kapalbhati (frontal brain cleansing breath)
Our approach to the traditional style of Vinyasa & Ashtanga, enhanced and refined with the newfound knowledge and information we are blessed to have learnt from years of exploration and practice.
This class focuses on analysing and dissecting basic & advanced postures. You’ll learn the correct alignment based on the traditional approach and in line with body mechanics, understand how to offer hands-on adjustments and how to structure them in a Vinyasa class.
The teachers will always be present in your practice, observing and providing feedback.
In this class you will learn:
Analysis of the 80 postures and more (arm balances, back-bends, and inversions)
Modifications, other variations, and advanced variation of all postures
Adjustment (physical & verbal) theory and hands-on practice)

Chanting and Kirtan are spiritual practices in yoga that involve the repetitive singing or chanting of mantras, sacred sounds, or devotional hymns, often in a group setting.
These practices serve to cultivate a deep sense of connection, inner peace, and spiritual awareness. In a class setting, chanting typically involves the vocal repetition of mantras, which can be done individually or collectively, allowing the practitioner to focus the mind and open the heart.
Kirtan, a form of call-and-response chanting, is often accompanied by music, with instruments like harmoniums, tablas, or guitars, creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Both chanting and kirtan help to quiet the mind, deepen concentration, and elevate one’s spiritual energy, fostering a sense of community, devotion, and mindfulness. These practices can be deeply transformative, helping to invoke a sense of joy, connection, and reverence.
