YOGA CLASSES
yoga with Mischa
A heartfelt and intelligent practice, both linking the rhythm of breath with movement and exploring alignment and stillness. Practice might include flowing through a creative sequence of āsanas supported by music, breath, healthy biomechanics and alignment. The flow is always steady and often balanced with longer holds, meditation, mantra, mudrā and prāṇāyāma techniques allowing opportunity to deepen, reflect on and integrate the effects of the practice. Mischa offers a unique and thoughtful experience adapted carefully and precisely to each group or individual to provide a brave and nurturing environment to explore, practice, learn and grow.
THE DANCE OF LIFE
Yoga is the practice of riding the waves of experience and meeting all that life brings. Anchoring into the inner space which is beyond the effect of life conditions.
The literal meaning of yoga comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning to yoke the body, breath and mind together as one. When all of these aspects unite we are able to transcend beyond the physical to the more subtle. To peel away the layers (koshas) of maya (illusion) and uncover the inner divine nature that rests within each and every one to us.
Yoga offers a philosophy and a science that teaches us, through specific methods of observation and awareness, to move beyond our own limiting ego, towards the atman (the Self) and universal consciousness. It leads us to a realisation of the vastness of our own nature.
