dynamic yoga is a method of teaching yoga unlike any other. what makes dynamic yoga unique is that it starts from the beginning - no assumptions made. classes start with simple movements inviting the body to move with integrity, the breath to flow freely, the mind to be still. what makes dynamic yoga unique is the sensitivity with which it is taught – nothing is imposed on body, mind or breath. movements are learned gradually through repetition, not force or aggression. what makes dynamic yoga unique is the clarity of instruction - no analogies, similes or metaphors to distract you from that which is actually happening.
everything that is said aims to bring you closer to the moment, closer to the present, closer to yourself. what makes dynamic yoga unique is the confluence between the posture practice and the spiritual teachings. a dynamic yoga practice reveals the inevitability of all actions; that we are not in control of our bodies, our breath, our thoughts, or anything at all; that there is no need for should be, ought to be, or must be, only that which is.
dynamic yoga is a synthesis of various hatha yoga styles incorporating the flow of ashtanga vinyasa yoga, the precision of alignment of iyengar yoga, and the step-by-step progressive sequencing of vinniyoga. the practice invites you to become deeply intimate with your body, breath and mind. through this intimacy, awareness grows. through a dynamic yoga practice an understanding of your body deepens. you learn to trust the inherent intelligence of your physical body, to trust in life itself.
