Basic Hatha Yoga
One of the most famous sequences in the world, transmitted and brought to the West by the renowned Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh.
The Rishikesh series is a sequence of fundamental asanas studied and taught in the famous ashram of Rishikesh and its popularity is given by some fundamental aspects that make the practice very effective. In fact, the sequence has beneficial effects on the whole body, as it favors the conditions necessary for the restoration of health and mental balance. It has been established that, if practiced daily, it is able to rebalance the body on several levels: physical, energetic, mental and emotional. The old masters sensed that each of the positions stimulates or activates one or more energy centers, known as Chakra, which regulate the flow of energy by distributing it to the corresponding organs.
Due to its simplicity, the asana sequence can be performed by people of any physical constitution and with varying degrees of flexibility, physical development and at any age. This does not mean that it does not require the use of common sense. Especially in relation to the constitution of the body and particularly respecting the indications that our own body suggests to us.
It is important that the positions, if properly performed, have the possibility and importance of exercising our psycho-physical development and starting us in the practice of yoga. Never worry about reaching the “perfect”, in the sense of flexibility and strength, but we always proceed gradually and slowly within the limits of the body and without ever forcing the posture.

Kundalini Yoga is often called the “yoga of awareness,” combining movement, breathwork, and meditation and often times mantra, to awaken energy within the body and mind. Each class follows a specific sequence designed to strengthen the nervous system, balance the glands, and support emotional resilience. It is a meditative practice that works not only on the physical body but also on the mind and subconscious patterns that influence how we experience life.
Kundalini
Yin unfolds as a grounding practice, where the magic lies in the fusion of breath and meditation within postures held for extended durations. While Vinyasa and Power Yoga embody the Yang, Yin is a cooling and introspective practice.
In Yin Yoga, postures are embraced for extended periods, fostering a profound release in the connective tissues around the hips, shoulders, and spine. The deliberate stillness invites you to explore moments of surrender, bringing a heightened awareness to the present.
This practice not only nurtures physical flexibility but also cultivates a deep sense of inner calm and mindfulness. Be prepared to leave the class feeling rejuvenated, with a sense of tranquility that permeates your entire being – a testament to the transformative power of Yin Yoga.

Restorative Yoga is a Yoga Shala favorite! This deeply relaxing class is aided with props to create a supportive , trusting environment so you can rest deeply. Conscious rest is different than sleep. Conscious rest is when you are awake and aware and make the decision to actively let go and be supported. Restorative Yoga calms the nervous system and boosts the immune system. Muscles relax, heart rate balances, mind slows down and clarity awakens. Be the peace you seek.
Restorative Yoga
It is often said, modern science is still catching up to the wisdom of the ancient Yogis. Sound healing has become a mainstream offering in the world and there is a good reason why. We are affected by sounds, sounds of nature, people, music, machines, some are calming some are not. All sounds affect our "life vibrations", the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. Sound waves travel through the water in the body 4 times the speed it travels through the air. There is a deep cellular healing taking place when you relax into the sounds of the instruments, mantras and the silence. The proof is not in what we know, but how we feel.
The Alchemy of Sound Healing can relax and restore the brain, blood flow, muscular tension, negative moods and over thinking, sleep disorders, stress, anxiety, worry, fear, doubt and help with your internal struggles to find this space of peace, contentment, balance and bliss.
The beloved Om Joyful Yoga Gong is 16 years old and has found her way to The Yoga Shala, we cannot wait to share her magic again with the Community!

The Alchemy of Sound Healing
At the heart of kirtan is the call-and-response format, a beautifully simple yet powerful structure. A leader sings a line—a mantra or phrase—and the group echoes it back. It’s a dialogue, a back-and-forth that builds energy with each repetition. You don’t need to know the words at first; the repetition makes it easy to catch on. There’s something primal about it, like a conversation that transcends language. It’s not uncommon to feel a shift as you chant—stress melting away, a sense of connection blooming with strangers who, for that moment, feel like family.
Kirtan
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation, derived from the tantras. This practice allows the aspirant to withdraw into the space between wake and sleep where the brain and mind are exceptionally receptive beyond the tensions. In this space one's true nature and integrity manifest , enabling one to live a more meaningful and peaceful life in any environment. 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep, the science is ancient, the self awaits.
Yoga Nidra
WhenOm,
Lead me from the unreal to the real,
Lead me from darkness to light,
Lead me from death to immortality.
May peace be, may peace be, may peace be.
