The union spoken of in yoga is seen on many different levels but altermately points to the reabsorbtion of the separate self into the infinite ocean of consciousness. Leading you from the personal to the impersonal , from duality to non-duality. Such self realization can happen anywhere and anytime but the many practices of yoga provide a constant opportunity for these realizations to occur in the light of your awareness, creating a longer lasting effect that penetrates deep into your being.
Here at Tribe we have absolutely no-bias to any particular style of yoga.Yoga is yoga whether the style is dynamic or gentle and so we look to the application of sensitivity, honesty, openness, generosity and the level of focus within whatever one is doing to define a practice as yoga.
We are all unique and should be encouraged to find our own style and honour our own natural rythym. Once the basic fundamentals to practice are understood yoga can then be approached with the confidence and understanding it takes to journey towards ones inner wisdom and truth. As we fine tune to our individual abilities and needs the journey becomes more and more unique and varied on a day to day basis.
So if you are new to yoga feel free to experiment in a variety of yoga styles. You will learn something different from each to create a strong foundation for future practice. Ultimately you will probably gravitate to one particular style as the basis for a regular practice but continue to nurture a willingness to experiment, reflecting in your practise the ever constant change happening in yourself!
Asana
Asanas are a fun and creative way to relax, open joints, lengthen muscles, generate therapeutic internal body heat, increase cardio-vascular strength, improve respiration and circulation, increase energy levels, release endorphins for a natural high and give you a radiating glow of good health and happiness. As well as the many physical benefits yoga has a profound and positive effect on the emotional and physiological body. The nervous system is soothed reducing stress and tension and the mind becomes calm and stable, focused and attentive. On a more subtle level the practice of asana fines tunes your awareness and sensitivity so that you can relax into the flow of life and be more at ease with whatever is happening to you and around you.
Whatever your ability Tribe yoga instructors intuitively take you through asana practice to suit the individual you are.
Pranayama
Pranayama is the science of breath control. Simple and more complexed breathing exercise that can be practiced within an asana practice or as a practice on its own to calm the mind, soothe the nerves, release tension/anxieties and initiate a deep sense of relaxation.
Tribe yoga instructors will take you journeying through the power of the breath.
Meditation
Tribe yoga instructors are well trained in meditation techniques that help bring clarity, calmness and focus to the restless mind. Meditation allows you to tap into your ever-present inner wisdom
and truth so you can navigate through life feeling more grounded and relaxed.
