Class Description
Hatha yoga helps to purify the physical, energetic and mental layers of our being and thus creates more harmonious conditions for Self-reconnection.
Hridaya Hatha Yoga is a form of classical Hatha Yoga practiced in a contemplative style. We often describe this style as meditation in motion. The practice is performed with the eyes closed and we generally hold the postures for longer than other styles of yoga. This helps us to interiorise and connect with the more subtle aspects of our being.
We practice with a non-pushing attitude, striking a balance between effort and relaxation.
What to Bring
You’re welcome to bring your own equipment with you. However, Koru Studio is equipped with top quality yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, blankets, etc.
Wear comfortable clothing that you feel confident to move in. Layers are recommended, so you can best regulate your body temperature. It is particularly important that we have warm layers (especially jumpers and socks) for the shavasana at the end of class.
About Adam
Adam is a Hridaya Yoga teacher. He offers Hridaya Hatha Yoga classes, meditation workshops and Hridaya Silent Meditation retreats.
Hridaya is a Sanskrit word that means Heart or Spiritual Heart. It is really just another word that points towards the heart or centre of our being. When we return to the heart of our being, we return home to our true self. Hridaya Yoga supports practitioners in this reconnection to our true self.
When we reconnect to or open our heart, we reconnect to the intuition of our heart and slowly we can develop the courage to live from the heart. We begin to open more and more to the fullness of life, embracing both joy and sorrow in equal measures.
Adam has practiced Hridaya Yoga since 2016 and has been sharing the practice since 2019. He has completed the Hridaya Teacher Training Course, which is a 500 hour course and includes two 10 day silent meditation retreats and a solitary retreat in the dark room. He has also completed four additional yoga modules at the school and various other group and solitary retreats across the world.
