Active Yoga – Originally developed for Ancient Thai Massage therapists 2,600 years ago by Doctor Shivago, this form of Yoga is a set series of moving postures designed to correct back pain, sciatica, develop core strength, mobilize joints, and reduce weight. Each movement is coordinated with the breath in order to engage the Pranayama Kosha (Energy Body). With mindful movement you develop a purpose to move, which unifies the mind with the body.

Precise muscle control will develop through the exercises because the aim is to soften the muscles to increase their range of motion with power instead of simply trying to stretch them. By engaging more muscle fibers you will feel less tension in your whole body, light, and free to move in whatever way you desire. You can also release the weight of stress and balance your mind effectively through Shivago Yoga. The practice will develop intense heat from the inside-out, helping you to detoxify at the same time.

This class is open to all. No acrobatic or extreme stretching is involved. We aim to balance muscular strength with flexibility to create an ideal body shape and structure for health, lifting heavy objects, power, and endurance. The digestive, respiratory, lymphatic, and circulatory systems also become balanced and more resilient to invading pathogens as well as efficient at removing waste.
