Styles of Yoga

A combination of Ashtanga, Hatha and Iyengar Yoga techniques are practiced in Yoga Central classes in order to achieve good health, increases strength and endurance, as well as improved flexibility. Vinyasa flow classes are conducted from time to time. All these schools of yoga have their individual styles and benefits. A combination of these styles ensures every student leaves the class feeling calm and energized; feeling lighter in body and mind, and stronger with each passing day.

Ashtanga Yoga

In Sanskrit, Ashtanga means ‘eight limbs’. This refers to the eight limbs of Yoga set out in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Benefits of Ashtanga Yoga include synchronized breath with posture, detoxification of muscles and organs, improved circulation, a lighter and stronger body, and a calm mind.

At Yoga Central

By teaching Ashtanga Yoga, we help students to not just learn to concentrate and focus but also to calm the mind. Students are encouraged to ‘look inwards’ and experience each posture to the fullest. We guide as well as provide assistance and adjustments in postures during the class.

Iyengar Yoga

Like all methods of yoga, this yoga combines physical poses, deep breathing, and meditation. A unique feature of Iyengar Yoga is the use of props such as wooden bricks, pillows, chairs, belts and bolsters that help students to attain perfect alignment, deeper stretches and perfect breath control in each pose.

Benefits of Iyengar Yoga include deeper penetration and necessary adjustment into the posture and the ability to stay in the posture firmly for a longer time. Iyengar Yoga develops strength, mobility and stability and awakens the body’s intelligence.

Depending upon the individuals stage of recovery from various ailments, disease or disorders, the aasans can be adjusted and designed to treat chronic back pain, depression, immunodeficiency, blood pressure, insomnia, menopause and other ailments.

At Yoga Central

Students are introduced to various standing, sitting and sleeping postures, forward and backward bends, twists, inversions and restorative poses using bricks, belts and other props. These help students in building up a very sharp awareness of the state of the body and mind, and also support in deepening their practice with every yoga class.

Hatha Yoga

The word Hatha means force or stubbornness, which refers to a sequence of postures or asanas that are held for longer, and are designed to align the skin, muscles, and bones. The postures are also intended to open the many channels and chakras of the body, especially the spine so that energy can flow freely.

Benefits of Hatha Yoga include a stronger spine, regulated breathing, improved flexibility and muscle-joint mobility, as well as fortified, toned and strong muscles. Hatha Yoga helps correct the posture and increases stamina. It improves muscular-skeletal conditions such as weak knees, tight shoulders and neck. It also helps cope with stress and anxiety.

Hatha yoga is a powerful tool for self-transformation. Thus we help you in recognizing your hidden physical and mental potentials by regular practice.
