Welcome to Hatha Yoga - Akhanda Style at SHYpractice
Akhanda Yoga, founded by master Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu, is a holistic and integrated approach to yoga that emphasizes a balanced practice. The word Akhanda means “whole” or “indivisible,” reflecting the comprehensive nature of this style, which incorporates all aspects of yoga into one class: asana (posture), pranayama (breathing techniques), mantra (chanting), meditation, and philosophy.
Akhanda Yoga is designed to provide practitioners with a well-rounded experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Each class follows a specific theme and flows through a combination of:
● Philosophical teachings: Yogic wisdom integrated throughout the practice to inspire self-reflection and personal growth.
● Mantra: The use of sound to create a focused and meditative atmosphere.
● Asanas: A balanced selection of postures that strengthen, stretch, and align the body.
● Pranayama: Breathwork practices to calm and energize the mind.
● Meditation: Practices that encourage mindfulness and inner stillness.
This integrative approach makes Akhanda Yoga unique in its ability to bring about physical vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. Expect a balanced practice, combining breathwork, movement, meditation, and relaxation.
Open to all levels of practice, variations will be offered.
