SAGE HOUSE YOGA
What is the meaning and motive of Sage House Yoga?
The word "SAGE" means a wise person, someone who has attained great wisdom through experience, study, or contemplation. "House" in this context can be described as a home away from home. We believe, it is important to give our students a home-like comfort so that they can focus on what is happening inside and outside with undivided attention. "YOGA" is the union of the finite with the infinite self.
Yoga is a practice that emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness, which are key components of wisdom. By cultivating a deeper understanding of ourselves and our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, we can make wiser choices and lead more fulfilling lives. With this in mind, our motive is to create a positive ambiance where one can get the maximum benefit from Yoga and prepare themselves for the beginning of endless possibilities!
Vidya Param Balam
"Vidya param balam" is a Sanskrit phrase that translates to "knowledge is the ultimate power/strength." It emphasizes the importance of education and learning in life.
Knowledge and education are crucial for personal and societal development, and they can empower individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success in various domains of life, hence it is the most valuable possession a person can have, and when knowledge is shared in its real form with others it then becomes wisdom. With wisdom, one can go into very deep practice which may further lead to enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This belief is reflected in ancient texts, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, which emphasize the pursuit of knowledge as a means to attain spiritual growth and understanding.

Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a type of yoga that focuses on physical postures and breathing techniques. The word "hatha" can be translated as "force" or "willful," and it is often used to describe a practice that is designed to align and balance the body, mind, and spirit.
Hatha yoga classes typically include a combination of standing poses, seated poses, and inversions, as well as pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. The goal of Hatha Yoga is to help practitioners achieve a balance between strength and flexibility, as well as to promote overall well-being.

Asthanga Vinyasa
Asthanga Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that emphasizes the synchronization of movement and breath. The word "vinyasa" can be translated as "to place in a special way," and it is often used to describe the flowing, .....
linking movements that are characteristic of this style of yoga. The practice of Vinyasa Yoga typically includes a sequence of flowing, dynamic movements that are linked together with the breath. This style of yoga is often considered to be more physically demanding than other forms of yoga, as it involves moving through a series of poses in a continuous, flowing sequence.

Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is a style of yoga that focuses on the awakening of the "kundalini energy" that is believed to be located at the base of the spine. The word "kundalini" means "coiled," and it is often used to describe the dormant energy ....
that is said to reside at the base of the spine. The practice of Kundalini Yoga is designed to awaken this energy and channel it upward through the chakras (energy centers) in the body. Kundalini Yoga classes typically include a combination of physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. The physical postures, or kriyas, are often vigorous and are designed to stimulate the nervous system, build strength and flexibility, and balance the body’s energy.

Acro Yoga
Acro Yoga is a form of yoga that combines elements of yoga, acrobatics, and therapeutic healing. The practice typically involves two or more people working together to create dynamic, flowing sequences of poses that incorporate both strength and flexibility.
Acro Yoga practice emphasizes trust, communication, and mutual support between partners. It can be a fun, playful practice, but it also requires focus, control, and proper technique to perform the poses safely. It’s important to note that while Acro Yoga can be a fun and challenging practice, it also requires proper instruction and safety precautions. It is recommended to take classes with experienced teachers and to practice with partners who are aware of the risks and safety guidelines. Want to take continue reading? Click Here

Why yoga anatomy?
Yoga anatomy is the study of the human body as it relates to the practice of yoga. It includes understanding how different muscles, bones, and joints work together during yoga poses, as well as how different systems of the body (such as the respiratory and nervous systems) are affected by yoga practice. In layman's terms, it is the knowledge of how different parts of the body move and interact during yoga poses and how the practice of yoga can affect the body's overall well-being.
There are several reasons why learning yoga anatomy can be beneficial for yoga practitioners: Learn More

Pranayama - The Vital Energy
Pranayama is a practice within yoga that involves the control of breath. The word "pranayama" is made up of two words "prana" meaning life force or breath and "ayama" meaning control or extension. It is considered as one of the 8 limbs of yoga as outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
The practice of pranayama is designed to regulate and purify the breath, which is believed to have a direct effect on the body and mind. These practices are believed to help to calm the mind, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of inner peace and well-being. It’s important to note that pranayama should be practiced under the guidance of a qualified teacher and not be rushed into, as it can cause negative effects if not done correctly.
