Our Yoga Experience
What makes Breath Dynamics classes so powerful? Put simply: BREATHING
IS KING! A basic session:
- Inter-Disciplinary. This
eclectic approach was favored by Steve's teacher Dr. Don Stapleton
(of Kripalu fame). Such an open evolving style led to Steve
formulating a more Breath-centered Yoga practice. Derived not from
one source or school but from many; various styles of Classical
Ashtanga, Kundalini, Tibetan as well as techniques from Pilates,
Somatics and Transformational Breathing are melded together into a
fresh experience each time you step onto the mat. No two sessions
are exactly the same, no predictable routine.
- Breath is King! Throws the
greatest emphasis on the co-ordination of Breath and Movement -- the
Pranayama is not a mild, discrete segment of the class, but rather
is powerfully integrated throughout -- incorporated fully with the
constant rhythmic movement providing every session a certain free
spontaneous feel.
- Dynamic. Most of each session
embraces this fluid, dynamic and subtly powerful quality rather than
a slow, rigid or static approach. This identifies the philosophy of
Breath Dynamics -- the "Power of the Breath in Action" -- but owes
much to the Kundalini yoga style. I designed sequences to awaken the
Kundalini life force energy within in a logical progression and
focus on the "core conditioning" and focus on Breath.
- Comprehensive. The session
eventually morphs into a more traditional Hatha Vinyasa (flow) which
serves the important purpose of dispersing and balancing the
Kundalini that has been systematically aroused, and adequately
condition all peripheral areas outside the core.
- Inward Focus. We end with Yoga
Nidra (Yogic Sleep), each one a guided meditation and not the same
one each time. After the workout, this is the time for stillness, to
go inward, for connection and reflection.
- Individualized. We help you find
"Your Yoga", in that we attempt to meet you at your unique needs.
There is NOT one correct way for everyone to do yoga, no superior
style. There is only Your Yoga.
