THE GRECO METHOD OF YOGA

The Greco method of yoga is a combination of 20 percent Yin and 80 percent Hatha; using a sequence of asanas in high heat allows the muscles to stretch and strengthen creating balance and restoring all systems to optimal health. Consistent practice will create a physical, mental and spiritual harmony that will be felt in all areas of your life.

YIN YOGA

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.

Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.

BENEFITS OF YIN YOGA

stretches the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine
increases flexibility in the joints
ease of movement
experience a deep level of relaxed focus

HATHA YOGA

Yoga means to yoke, or to join two things together, hence hatha yoga is meant to join together sun (masculine, active) energy with moon (feminine, receptive) energy, thus producing balance and greater power in an individual. Hatha is a flowing syle of yoga, done in a heated room, that links the postures together in coordination with the breath. There is strong focus on the core strengthing using techniques uncommon to most other style of yoga. Balances out with great flexibility exercises for the hips, legs, back and shoulders. This is a challenging class that builds strength as well as flexibility, creates openess in all areas of the body and gives one a sense of relaxation and well-being. Variatons can be made to accommodate all levels of students.

Testimonials

"I have been practising hot power yoga for almost 2 years. It has given me strength and flexibility. I am 52 years old and able to do the splits. It feels that I am in my 20’s. Every time I go to class I focus and it has helped me to continue to have a positive attitude. I never doubt myself and sure have lots of confidence." -Thérèse Hall

"For me, Yoga is not just a workout; it's about working on myself. Yoga gave me an increased awareness of my own body which I'm often called upon to make small but subtle movements that will improve my alignment. Over time, it increased my level of comfort in my own body. That led me to improve my posture, strength and flexibility and greater self-confidence. The beauty of Yoga is that people often come here for the stretch, but I leave with a lot more". - Claudio Sicoli

Quotes

“Each of us has a gift, a special purpose that we alone can give to the world. This is our individual dharma. We are meant to discover and share this unique gift. When we do, we have achieved our true purpose in life.” –Deepak Chopra, M.D.

“Whatever you have experienced in you life is carved in stone. But today—at this very moment—you have the power to make the shift from where you are to where you want to be. You are never stuck… you always have choice. You just have to give yourself permission to grow, to love, to thrive.” – David Ji

“Meditation is the surest way to open a channel of healing. Old thought patterns, rigid habits of thinking and feeling begin to fall away of their own accord. When this happens, the mind is actually learning to heal itself.” – Deepak Chopra, M.D.

“Meditation takes us beyond our internal dialogue to the quiet of a mind that is not imprisoned by the past or the future. Silence is the birthplace of happiness. Silence is where we get our burst of inspiration, out tender feelings of compassion and empathy, our sense of love.” – Deepak Chopra, M.D.
