Ananda Yoga is a classical style of Hatha Yoga that uses asana and pranayama to facilitate both the awakening and experience of, and ultimately control over, the subtle energies (prana) within oneself. The Ananda Yoga system shows us how to use those energies to harmonise body, mind and emotions thereby enabling us to attune ourselves with higher levels of awareness. The Ananda Institute of Living Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance (YA). We offer weekly drop-in classes as well as workshops that can be taken for YA continuing education credit, and Yoga Teacher Training RYT200 (Level One), and RYT300 (Level Two).
Ananda Yoga for Embracing Heart Strength & Expansion — Workshop
Join Amanda Lamprecht E-RYT500 | C-IAYT | YACEP for a day of backbends! Backbends strengthen the heart by charging the kidneys, aiding in breathing with a wider diaphragm, and creating space between the spinal vertebrae. On an energetic level, backbends transition you from the past into the present—the only place where true happiness resides. Backbends also facilitate the opening of three major centers in the body—the pelvis, the heart, and the throat. This workshop will guide you in bringing the energy of the lower three chakras into the heart center and bring joy into your life.
