Ashtanga Yoga
The system is divided into 6 separate series:
The 1st Series:
known as Yoga Chikitsa (yoga therapy or Primary Series)  detoxify, strength  and realign the body.
The 2nd Series:
known as  Nadi Shodhana (nerve cleansing or Intermediate Series) is for purification of nerve system, and takes  the practitioner in to a deeper level.
The 3rd-6th series (advanced A-D):
are known as Sthira Bhaga and require  strength, flexibility and strong will power.
Each series of Ashtanga utilizes the element of vinyasa, a specific sequence of breath-synchronized movements used as transition between sustained postures; When vinyasa is combined with  bandhas and gazing points (drishti), the meditative quality known as tristana takes place in the student.

Mysore style:
Mysore Style is a particularly  effective way  to practice yoga. it is  named after the Indian City of Mysore  where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the “Guru of this Yoga system, lives and teaches.
In a Mysore class, the students (Sadhaka) gradually learn the system of Ashtanga  Yoga posture by posture, moving according to  their own capacity and pace, making the learning process safe and  individual.

Learning process:
New postures (asanas)  will be taught as the students become familiar and comfortably steady (Patanjali Sutra 2.46 Sthira Sukham Asanam ) with the previous ones. Following  the Ashtanga system, previous asanas  prepare you for the Future  ones in a logical, progressive way. Variation or modification will be given in particular situations such as injury healing processes, age or physical obstacles and/or limitations. During class, students will get  (whenever needed) verbal directions and  physical adjustments; this allows for a better and safer understanding of the practice and helps the students to become more independent. Over time, the student  takes  personal responsibility for his or her practice, facilitating a growing process that goes beyond the physical aspect of the practice. The true teacher is always within us.


Experimental Vinyasa Yoga
Free style Vinyasa Yoga that includes preparatory movement, traditional Hatha Yoga asana with variations, as well as   different kinds of modern  body-mind awareness explorations.
A non dogmatic approach to the expansion of consciousness (Yoga),
free from any restriction or  rules imposed from traditional yoga systems;  freedom to  express yourself according with the present moment.
