“Above all find time to come home to yourself”
Swami Durgananda

Samata Yoga Classes consist of:

A practical and traditional Astanga/Raj Yoga, it’s origin founded 25,000 years ago.  This ancient lineage is leading the way into the next millennium helping each aspirant deal with the many stressful situations of our modern lifestyle assisting us to go within and find INNER PEACE.

Yoga Asana Postures:  Help strengthen and correct the body structure, stretch muscles, massage internal organs, creating a positive foundation for a healthy body.

Pranayama:  Breathing exercises cleanse, stimulate and increase the vital flow of energy within the body creating a feeling of positive awareness.

Relaxation (Yoga Nidra):  Under the guidance of a qualified instructor, one is taught the benefit of complete relaxation.  This practise is essential for our peace of mind.

Meditation:  Learn the secrets of this ancient form of Astanga/Raj Yoga meditation once taught only to initiates of the east.  Our fully trained instructors will help you master this art and allow you to take control of your body, mind and destiny.
