Yoga
is commonly known as a form of exercise and stretching.
This form is called hatha yoga (or physical practices),
which uses asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathing exercises)
as the focus, and is one small aspect of what yoga is.
Yoga means "Union", and there are four major
paths of yoga: Karma
yoga-Yoga through selfless action (selfless service
to others);
Bhakti yoga-Yoga through devotion (to God or gods);
Rhaja yoga-Yoga via scientific practices (where hatha
yoga is a sub-branch); Jnana yoga-Yoga through wisdom,
intellectual and philosophical processes
At Alternative Health Group LLC, we teach "Yoga of
Union" set by Swami Sivananda. The Sivananda lineage
is a traditional teaching that leads us to ourselves through
the four paths of yoga. This lineage teaches us to follow
all the paths and make the one that is most familiar and
natural our predominant path but teaches us not to forget
and practice the others. The classes are predominantly
Hatha yoga.
Sivananda Yoga - An ancient lineage of yoga integrating all four paths of yoga: Bhakti, Karma, Raja & Jnana. This class is relaxing, meditative, core strengthening, & very spiritual. Stress relief for mind, body & spirit. ~ taught by Timothy Suh
