HOW WE TEACH There are many types and styles of Yoga on offer these days and we teach traditional Hatha yoga. We specialize in:
At Ikara Retreat Centre, we teach yoga as a whole in a traditional fashion with understanding and knowledge attained from a lifetime of experiences. Yoga is an ancient science, it is not simply stretching. It has the ability to heal the mind and the body when practiced correctly with proper alignment and intent. If the alignment is not correct you cannot obtain the true health benefits from asana. Private lessons are a great way to improve your practice. Proper guidance from a knowledgeable teacher can enhance your bodies structural integrity and subsequently your yoga asana, Your teacher can watch and advise. It is essential. Bad habits can creep into your yoga virtually unnoticed and if your bodies alignment is not correct, you will not achieve the health benefits of the poses. You do not need to do a private yoga class every week either. We can help you get started with yoga or aid you on the road to recovery with asanas that you can practice on your own at home. You can then return to us when you feel you need further guidance. IS TUITION GIVEN IN ENGLISH or SPANISH? Tuition is primarily given in English. We are learning Spanish and Spanish speakers are welcome as we have been studying the Spanish language. Instruction can be achieved through demonstration and our current level of language. |
