Yogita Yoga

The term “Yoga” has many meanings. For us at Yogita Yoga, the essence of yoga is to strive for the integration and ultimately union of the physical, spiritual and mental qualities in each of us. Literally, Yogita means “one who is connected, who can focus and concentrate”. As such, in our classes we aim to bring the essence of yoga to each and every one of our students by instilling a sense of purpose and focus – whether it be through the practice of yoga poses (asana), meditation or chanting.
Our yoga classes are based on the teachings of Krishnamacharya (the ‘father of modern yoga’), who emphasized that the practice you teach must take into account the individual person and their background. None of us are alike and as such yoga practice needs to be carried out by honouring the differences, abilities and limitations of each student. As such, our aim is not to teach a particular way to do yoga postures ('asana') but to encourage each student to investigate how to mindfully move into and out of each asana and to remain there with a quiet curiosity of what may arise.
