AntiGravity Yoga

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Yoga practice is a way for us to ascend to a new height of consciousness through a regular practice of yoga poses and meditation. Christopher Harrison took that in mind when he created what is known as AntiGravity Yoga in 2007. He is a former gymnast and Broadway choreographer and took the idea of yoga and twisted in the use of a specially designed hammock, a silk sling prop which is attached to the ceiling and can hold up to 1,000 pounds.

Scaravelli Yoga Teacher Training

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Vanda Scaravelli was an Italian woman that found her love of yoga later in life. She had yoga teacher training by Desikachar and BKS Iyengar, and from that point she developed a gentler, more feminine style of yoga that was designed to move with the natural body in relation to gravity.

Scaravelli yoga teachings have a holistic approach and encourage inner movement that when you combine it with pranayama and meditation you naturally unfold outward. When you can let go of the weight of your body it can fall to the ground and allow the spine to be lighter and unfold. Then your legs can connect to the earth and securing you in place.

Scaravelli class sessions tend to be small and friendly in nature, which provides a relaxing atmosphere that will allow you to progress comfortably and develop your home practice. This yoga teacher training will bring new horizons to you. (more…)
