What is traditional yoga? It’s a practice closer to what you’d find in an ashram environment and focuses on classical techniques derived from translations of ancient texts disseminated by true yoga masters. Traditional practices include meditation, Sanskrit mantra, pranayama, meditation, kriya, mudra, bhanda, and light yoga philosophy that can be adapted to modern living.
Gaby has completed over 1,000 hours of training in classical Raja Hatha Yoga. Traditional yoga provides a clear framework for developing a personal yoga and meditation practice (Sadhana) that creates consistency, clarity, and steadiness. It strongly develops interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness, inviting your innate wisdom & power to emerge.
What is the pace/energy level of retreat yoga classes? All classes are moderate to gentle. Moderate practice will produce a sweat, allowing energy to move and flow through the system. Gentle, restorative, yin, and guided relaxation will be offered too.
